At the edge of Rajaji National Park, within the quiet buffer zone of Bandarjudh, Haridwar, Aalia Jungle Retreat & Spa unfolds as a story shaped by wilderness and stillness. Here, the forest does not surround you—it draws you in, setting the rhythm for a slower, more deliberate way of being.
With just eleven colonial-style tents, the retreat is intentionally intimate. Each tent is a private world—generous in scale and quietly elegant, with four-poster beds, handcrafted wooden wardrobes, and writing desks that invite reflection. The architecture across the retreat follows a restrained, earthy language: sustainably built brick, mud-finished walls, and crate-wood roofs that echo the textures of the land itself.
Days drift between dappled light and birdsong, between the possibility of the wild and the comfort of considered design. In this threshold between jungle and sanctuary, Aalia becomes more than a destination—it becomes a pause, a perspective, a chapter within the Araiya Anthology.
