Aalia Jungle Retreat & Spa

Set against the wild expanse of the Himalayan foothills, Aalia Jungle Retreat & Spa, Araiya Anthology is a refined wilderness escape located along the buffer zone of Rajaji National Park. Surrounded by mustard fields, mango orchards, and forested landscapes, the retreat balances raw natural beauty with curated luxury, creating an experience deeply shaped by the wilderness itself.

The retreat features 11 luxury tents designed with an eco-sensitive approach. Each tent blends natural materials, earthy textures, spacious interiors, and private sit-outs overlooking the surrounding greenery. Generous indoor spaces and private decks with uninterrupted views, keep the landscape constantly present, allowing the outdoors to feel like an extension of the living space itself while maintaining a strong sense of privacy and calm.

At Aalia, days move effortlessly between exploration and stillness. From bespoke jeep safaris and guided nature walks to birdwatching, horse riding, archery, and curated picnics, every experience is centred around close engagement with the natural environment. Time spent tracking wildlife through Rajaji National Park flows seamlessly into quieter moments by the Glasshouse pool pavilion, bonfire evenings beneath open skies, and restorative spa experiences that allow the surrounding landscape to become part of the healing process itself.

Dining at the retreat follows the same immersive philosophy. Whether beneath the stars or overlooking the wilderness, the restaurant, bar and lounge, curated outdoor dining setups, barbecue evenings, candlelight dinners, and poolside experiences focus on seasonal ingredients and relaxed meals shaped by the natural surroundings.

Aalia Jungle Retreat & Spa is designed as a place where luxury does not overpower nature but moves gently alongside it, creating a stay defined by silence, landscape, and thoughtfully curated wilderness experiences.
