和國家公園隔河相望的度假酒店，一定要選別墅，普通客房平平無奇。半日Safari 看到了犀牛大象兩種猴子三種鹿

The Meghauli Serai is set in amazing grounds and views . The entrance overlooks an infinity pool with the jungle in the background . We were fortunate to have Swatika as our guide for the safari drive, walk and boat safari , she is extremely knowleable and engaging . We were lucky enough to see a Tiger , Rhino with calf , Sloth bear monkeys and Deer. Sujan in the restaurant looked after us for all our meals and was very attentive and friendly . The food is amazing and varied , often we just didn’t have the capacity to eat all offerings .All the staff are very attentive and trying to make your stay memorable . The traditional local dancing on our last night was a lovely end to our stay .

My stay at the private pool villa was unforgettable! The villa itself was luxurious and serene, offering complete privacy and comfort. The wildlife safari was thrilling, bringing us close to nature and offering incredible sightings. Ending the day with a peaceful sundowner boating experience was the perfect touch—watching the sunset over the water was magical. This combination of adventure and relaxation made for a truly one-of-a-kind getaway.

Meghauli Serai, Taj Safari, is a stunning gateway into the wild beauty of Chitwan National Park. Our stay was filled with unforgettable moments—from close encounters with majestic tigers and one-horned rhinos to watching hornbills and kingfishers take flight across the river at dawn. The variety of birdlife alone is reason to visit. The safari jeeps are the best in the park—open, comfortable, and designed to offer an immersive and safe experience. Our naturalist, Sandip, brought the jungle to life with stories, insights, and deep local knowledge passed down through generations. Our driver, Santosh, was equally fantastic—skilled, sharp-eyed, and always respectful of the animals and their habitat. The lodge itself is serene and luxurious. We stayed in a Rapti Villa with its own private pool and sweeping views of the river. The spa is a hidden gem—peaceful, professional, and surrounded by a breathtaking lotus and water lily pond. The culinary experience is exceptional. The chef is incredibly talented and happy to tailor each meal to your preferences. Much of the produce is grown onsite in their organic garden, and every dish we had was both fresh and beautifully prepared. And don’t miss the fresh lemongrass martini—Sanjay crafts it perfectly using lemongrass snipped from the garden right in front of you. This was more than a trip—it was a transformative experience, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

We were lucky enough to stay here as a family on a trip in October 2024. Upon entering the grounds, it is apparent the level of attention to detail and service paid by staff. We were warmly greeted at check-in (the main building is stunning, with views directly across the river into Chitwan National Park. Each excursion into the park was spectacular; our guide was incredibly knowledgable and took us to many different spots, allowing us to see the endangered black rhinos on many occasions in addition to numerous other flora and fauna. I want to specifically shout-out Sanjay, who was managing the culinary experience. His positive, friendly, welcoming energy was contagious and he went above and beyond to consistently ensure we were enjoying every meal. He was outstanding in every way, and set the bar absurdly high for excellent hospitality. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone traveling to see Chitwan.

I came here in search of Rhinos, I’d heard Chitwan national park was a great place to see them. I did some research and the Meghauli location seemed to be a great place to stay to have Rhinos encounters. Firstly the hotel and staff from general manager Amit to every single employee were exceptional. This was my first experience staying at a Taj hotel and if their other properties are half as good as this one I’ll be looking to experience their resorts and safaris around the world. Santosh the naturalist and Santosh the driver got me some of the best animal encounters I’ve experienced as a wildlife photographer, they even spotted a leopard which was an unexpected but amazing surprise, Chitra and Anupa in the restaurant were also extremely hospitable as were the whole front desk team. 10/10 recommend, all in all I saw 20 plus rhinos some from the resort, most from the safari, an Indian leopard and countless species of bird. The rooms are amazing, a plunge pool looking over the national park amazing bathrooms and comfortable beds. Thank you again the Taj Meghauli team I will be back!
