Exceeded Expectations

Prior to our visit, our friends had shared positive feedback about this location, yet it surpassed our expectations by a significant margin. The ambience of the place was incredibly peaceful and filled with natural beauty. The rooms were impeccably kept and maintained, providing a sense of cleanliness and comfort.

Peace, Away From Technology

The location was absolutely impressive. It was astonishing to witness such a remarkable setup amidst the wilderness. It provided a complete escape from the distractions of mobile devices, allowing for a complete rejuvenation.

Delightful Stay and Food

It was a fantastic and delightful experience, short but satisfying. The meals were exceptional, and Mr. Lalitendu, the restaurant manager, went above and beyond to ensure our utmost comfort. We only wished we could have extended our stay to enjoy it even more.

Serene and Breathtaking Views

Superb property. Very serene and breathtaking views. The river house cottages are the best. You can literally hear the flow of water from your room. The food is also on the money.

A digital detox

This place is a perfect place for resting your soul. A digital detox you can have as there is no mobile network. You can only get BSNL network connectivity sometimes. Just enjoy nature.

A Place to Spend Time with Friends and Family

This is a very beautiful and perfect place for nature lovers. Good, comfortable rooms, very well behaved staff, nice food and forest.. If one wants to spend time with group of friends or family or even on your own, this is the place. Loved it.

Perfect Everything

Everything is just perfect. The ambience, service, hospitality and food. The staff is very courteous. Looking forward to our next visit.

A calm and quiet morning

Lovely place. On a calm and quiet morning, you can listen to the rushing river water flowing next to the resort. Though there aren't many food options, whatever they provide inside this jungle is quite appreciable. Must-visit for at least one night stay.

Wonderful location and helpful staff

The resort is very nice. A wonderful location, helpful staff. Vegetarian food could have been a little better.

An excellent place in the jungle

An excellent place to stay inside the jungle with all modern facilities and amenities.

Peaceful and Beautiful Location

Nestled in a serene setting, this exquisite resort provides a tranquil escape from the ordinary commotion and fast-paced environment of bustling urban areas. It's truly remarkable how they have upheld the charm of this delightful establishment while delivering exceptional service and meeting customer expectations in such a secluded destination.

Excellent Service!

On the last two days of August 2023, we took upon ourselves a challenge. We embarked on our first ever road trip with Tukixu, our two month old daughter, much against the wish of our elders for obvious reasons! As daunting as it appeared while planning the trip, the execution I must admit was way smoother while the joy of returning home in one piece was unparalleled. We tactfully selected such a place, where we could relax amid nature, digitally detox and respond to the call of our round the clock parental duty. Shimlipal National Park it was! The forest is closed during the monsoons which meant no sightseeing. Connectivity was out of bounds which meant you could automatically be off your phones and the @lulung_aranyanivas resort was tucked right in the middle of the forest, beside the Palpala river making it the best place to relax amid nature. The staff greeted us with folded palms and escorted us to a lovely riverside cottage which we would call home for the next two days. The next two days went by in the blink of a eye. As I write this post from my home in Kolkata, I am already missing the serenity of the place. After ages we read a book, stopped scrolling our phones mindlessly, stopped consuming digital content, slept for a longer stretch, so did our baby, sat idle staring into the dense moist forest and sipping coffee, raising a toast to parenthood with lime juice, enjoying a quick dip in the pool, taking an evening stroll to the nearby river bed, gulping down hearty meals in the backdrop of two hourly feeding, diaper changing and rocking our infant to sleep. This was a new kind of holiday which we experienced and would not give it up for anything. :) Our first trip was done and dusted and emerging victorious, we are now excited for many more to come. We have also vlogs coming up soon.
