Surrounded by lush green slopes adorned with tea bushes, Lockhart Estate offers a tranquil ambience where guests can immerse themselves in the rich biodiversity of the region.

ARAMNESS GIR
Jimmy Patel’s passion for the wilderness, cultivated during his family trips to Sasan Gir National Park, has led to the creation of a new jungle lodge on the park’s periphery. This forest retreat embodies the essence of a safari experience, offering a village-style lodge deeply rooted in local culture, blending authenticity with luxury. Named “Aramness Gir,” the lodge’s name is a fusion of two Gujarati words, “aram” (peace/rest) and “ness” (local village), symbolizing its unique vision. As the only boutique lodge bordering Sasan Gir National Park, Aramness Gir offers a rare opportunity to witness the last remaining Asiatic lions coexisting with the semi-nomadic Maldhari tribe in their natural habitat.
