Geleky Chariali · Kohora Range · Assam
A conscious luxury lodge inspired by the forest, the people, and the land. Opened 25th October 2025.
The Lodge
With its luscious biodiversity and tiger-inhabited wilds, Assam is renowned for its beauty — nowhere more concentrated than in Kaziranga, in the suspended forest garden oasis that is Irroi. Once an ancient Baari or agroforest of nourishment and medicine, Irroi Kaziranga now stands as a living testament to the heartbeat of Assam, inviting guests to revel in the rhythms of our people.
Sitting in Geleky Chariali, beside the Kohora Range, the lodge is designed around permaculture principles and deep local partnership. Languages spoken: English, Assamese, Hindi, French.
The Wild
Kaziranga National Park shelters two-thirds of the world's one-horned rhinoceros population. Golden tabby tigers move through tall elephant grass. Wild water buffalo graze at the edge of floodplains. Swamp deer raise their heads at dawn.
Our partners offer guided morning and evening safaris into the Kohora, Bagori, and Agoratoli ranges. Every drive is different. Every morning is earned.

Experiences & Activities
Our partners provide guided morning and evening safaris into Kaziranga's Kohora Range at a chargeable rate. Each drive is led by naturalists who have spent decades reading the grasslands.
Walk the permaculture garden with our team. Learn what is in season, what is being composted, and how the Baari supplies the kitchen. Birding logbooks are available at the gate.
Evening tea times, bird watching toolkits, and cultural performances from the Karbi and tea tribes of the region. A rotating roster that changes with the season — and sometimes with who happens to be visiting.
A quiet pool set within the garden. For the moments between safari and dinner when you have nothing to do but feel the heat of the day leave your shoulders.
Indigenous Assamese cuisine made from what the Baari yields that week. Rohi (rice wine), seasonal curries, and flavours that don't exist anywhere else. Food travels under 30km.
A banquet space for small gatherings, intimate celebrations, and corporate retreats. Surrounded by the Baari, catered by our team, rooted in the same philosophy as everything else here.
Sustainability Embedded Design
Seasonal vegetables and herbs grown using permaculture principles. The Baari supplies the kitchen and feeds the soil.
Rainwater harvesting and grey-water recycling throughout the property. We work with the land's water, not against it.
Every material in the lodge — from clay pottery to woven textiles — comes from local artisan partnerships across Assam.
Plastic-free operations and composting of all organic waste. In partnership with The Indigenous. Net Zero certified.
From the Journal
Our love affair with the rarest tiger in the world — the golden tabby, who roams the tall elephant grass between Bagori and Kohora. There are fewer than thirty left on Earth. Most of them live here.
Read the StoryBiodiversity
Award-winning ranges of Kaziranga — people come from far and wide to experience the magic of species that is here.
The most storied range in the park — 3km from Irroi's gate. Home to the highest density of one-horned rhinoceros in the world, where the Diphlu River cuts through open floodplain and the animals move at will through tall elephant grass.
The eastern range and the most rewarding for serious naturalists. Over 480 bird species recorded, including Pallas's fish eagle, the Bengal florican, and the greater adjutant stork. Quieter, more forested, and rich with sloth bears along its margins.
Where the grassland gives way to closed-canopy sal and hollong forest. Panbari is the botanist's Kaziranga — orchids, medicinal plants, and ancient trees. The hoolock gibbon calls here at first light; wild elephants move through in the afternoon.
Elephant country. The western range hosts some of Kaziranga's largest herds — sometimes forty animals moving together across the Brahmaputra floodplain. Also where the golden tabby tiger is most reliably sighted, hunting between the river and the forest margin.
The Irroi Journal
Guides to the Kohora Range, notes from the Baari, and stories about the people who built this place. Written by our naturalist and kitchen teams.
🦏 The Wild
When to come, which range to choose, and what the grasslands look like at 5:45am when the rhinos are moving.
🌿 The Baari
Every dish begins not in the kitchen but in the Baari — 40 steps from the stove. The garden is the menu.
👥 The People
The name comes from the Mishing people of Majuli — a celebratory greeting for a new harvest. The spirit behind this place.
