It provides a night stay facility with six rooms, comprising four double-bed rooms, two single-bed rooms, and one dormitory with four beds. All the rooms are very cozy, comforting, and clean with all kinds of basic amenities provided.

The Amdanda gate is the entrance gate to the Bijrani zone, where you can go on a safari and stay at the Bijrani forest lodge. It is around 2 kilometres from Ramnagar city. The forest rest house is located 7 kilometres from the Aamdanda Gate. The rest home is around 9 kilometers from Ram Nagar, deep into the jungle. It also has a well-kept canteen with appropriate mess facilities, where you can sample a wide range of delectable cuisine given in a buffet format at a very reasonable price.
