The Sanctuary

One suite, a thousand shades of green

A glimpse of the estate — the suite, the glasshouse, the firepit, and the forest that wraps around them all.

About the Home

Born of the sal forest

Sylvaara takes its name from silva — Latin for “forest”. Tucked into a quiet sal belt outside Ramnagar, the retreat was imagined as a single, deeply private refuge: one suite, one glasshouse table, and an acre of green that answers to no schedule but the river’s.

Days begin with mist over the Kosi and end beside a crackling firepit. In between: safari trails into Corbett’s oldest ranges, slow lunches under the glasshouse canopy, and the rare luxury of absolute quiet.

  • Check-in from 2:00 PM · check-out by 11:00 AM
  • A valid government photo ID is required for every guest
  • Early check-in & late check-out on request, subject to availability
  • Quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM — the forest sleeps early

The Proposal

“He asked at the firepit, under a sky full of stars. The team had quietly strung lights through the trees — we never even noticed them doing it.”
