A Gentle Introduction to the Aranyavas Ethos

Eco-friendly stays in Rajasthan

When guests ask what makes Aranyavas Farm Stay different from other farmstays, our answer is not only about good rooms, food, or outdoor activities. The real difference lies in the simple lifestyle and philosophy that guide every part of this nature retreat.

At Aranyavas, we believe in living slowly and mindfully. This farm was not started as a resort or a commercial project. It grew out of a desire to stay closer to nature, learn from the land, and give back in small, meaningful ways. This simplicity is the heart of our retreat.

A Farm Before a Retreat

Aranyavas is, first of all, a working permaculture farm. Here, food is grown naturally—without chemical fertilizers—using compost, cow-dung-based preparations, and traditional remedies. The aim is not to produce more, but to grow only what is needed, in balance with the soil and climate. As you walk through the farm, you won’t see manicured lawns but raised vegetable beds, shade nets, fruiting trees, and compost heaps that nourish the land.

Everyday Comforts, Naturally

The Family Suites at Kesaria Kothi are created for families and small groups who want comfort in a simple way. Each of the four suites has a private entrance and enough space to feel at ease. The rooms are clean and welcoming, meals are freshly prepared vegetarian dishes from a home-style kitchen, and the courtyards open wide to the sky. The experience here is not about luxury, but about ease—sharing food that feels familiar, stargazing in quiet evenings, or enjoying simple games together.

Respecting Nature and People

Our way of hosting is rooted in respect. We invite every guest to use resources thoughtfully—waste less, live simply, and treat our team like family members. And in return, our staff—whether farming in the fields or serving in the kitchen—bring warmth and share their own stories. This turns every stay at Aranyavas into more than a holiday; it becomes a personal exchange.

Why Aranyavas Exists

The idea of this farmstay was born out of a wish to step away from the fast, noisy life of cities and create a peaceful space where plants, animals, and people can coexist naturally. What began as a personal retreat slowly grew into Aranyavas—an eco-conscious stay in Jaipur, Rajasthan, for those seeking more than just rest. It is for those who want to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the simple joys of life.
