Barahi Jungle Lodge

We stayed 3 nights and it was amazing. Our family of 4 booked 2 waterfront bungalows. The décor was so special, with hilarious clay bird sculptures pooping on the bed, gorgeous stone flooring, and a bathroom like a spa. The terrace was unreal, right on the River, we watched crocodiles, rhinos, and elephants crossing and bathing. It felt like a wildlife documentary. The hospitality here is from another world. The general manager, Prakash, a truly wonderful, impressive man, was very attentive and solved a little private problem we encountered right away. We can’t say thank you enough! Prakash and Krishna both waited for us at the front reception when we arrived, making everything smooth and delightful from the start. Their crew’s kindness and thoughtfulness, pampering us, anticipating every need, just beautiful people. The whole team’s warmth outshines even this resort’s gorgeous setup. We were so lucky to take the jeep safari with Tek, our expert guide. His knowledge was extensive, and he patiently answered every question with incredible detail about the wildlife, the diverse plants, everything. He tracked animal footprints and dung, leading us to rare sightings. We came real close, just a few meters away to a herd of wild elephants with a baby on migration from India, rhinos, countless spotted deer, birds, monkeys, and wild boars with their striped babies. This man’s a legend! We’ll never forget it! We also loved the couple’s massage therapy, so relaxing we sent our kids for their own session. The buffet meals were marvelous, along with the evening cultural dances. This place is a piece of heaven! Huge gratitude to Prakash, Krishna, Tek, and the entire crew for making this unforgettable. We’ll be back!

This lodge is a GEM meaning it is small and precious. We woke to the sight of Robby the elephant munching on breakfast across the river! We did a morning boat safari and two jungle safaris led by Sagar. Sagar was very knowledgeable about animals, birds and the vegetation. We learned so much from him! The staff treated us like royalty especially our fave Sanjana. Mr Tej Thanait, the food and bev manager helped make excellent recommendations. We had a beautiful candle lit dinner by the river with lots of local specialties. I was very sad to leave.

The most amazing place the people, the food and the accommodation was fantastic. We got to see 8 one horned rhinos as well as a couple of baby rhinos. I go to get up close and personal with Kalani the elephant. The evening river cruise was beautiful and ended with an amazing evening afternoon tea by the river watching the sun go down. I will be doing my best to return for a longer stay, 3 days was not enough.

I had a wonderful stay at the Barahi Jungle Lodge, Meghauli, Chitwan National Park. I'd definitely count this among my most favourite resorts. The Barahi Jungle Lodge is located by the banks of the Rapti river, opposite Chitwan National Park. Naturally, one gets a beautiful view of the river and the grasslands from this lodge. Another great property of this area, Taj Meghauli Sarai is situated adjacent to the Barahi Jungle Lodge. First of all, the resort staff is exceptionally good. Everyone exuded natural warmth and gave genuine smiles. They give a lot of personal attention to each guest. The check-in procedure was smooth and since I had reached Chitwan quite late in the evening, I also discussed my safari and boat ride plans before going to the room. The staff patiently explained all the activities, as well as the facilities the lodge offers. The lodge employs a team of knowledgeable naturalists, with each guest being assigned a dedicated naturalist to manage safari plans and ensure a seamless experience. I was fortunate to have Rajesh as my naturalist. He was not only present during my check-in but also guided both the jeep safari and boat ride the following day. I would highly recommend the jungle safari, which is organized by the lodge itself. It starts with a short boat ride to cross the river, after which you board the jeep. I took the half-day safari. It was definitely worthwhile! Thanks to Rajesh, I was able to spot at least 6–7 rhinos. In fact, we spotted the first rhino barely 2–3 minutes into the safari. However, the highlight was the jungle breakfast. At some point during the safari, they park the jeep in a quiet spot and lay down the food. Having breakfast while witnessing the sights and sounds of the forest is an experience! The sunset boat ride was a wonderful experience. I was the only person on the boat that day, and with no other boats on the river, it felt like a truly private and peaceful moment. I had the opportunity to spot several birds and gharials along the way. After about an hour, the boat was anchored near the bank, and I was served snacks and drinks, all while watching the sun set in the background! Talking about the accommodation, one gets to stay in small private huts. A stoop leads to the hut. Each hut is spacious and artistically designed. There is a spacious bathroom with a lovely tub as well as a small balcony. The huts have all the necessary amenities. I would like to thank the housekeeping team for their kind gestures such as keeping rubber hot water bottle in the bed. In fact the entire hotel team excels in these small things. For example, they promptly bring you warm face towels when you return from a jeep or boat safari. The food served at their restaurants was good, and the service was very professional. I'd particularly like to mention the name of Sanjana, who was particularly kind. In the evening, a Tharu cultural performance was organized by the riverside. Witnessing the performance next t

We had an amazing time at Barahi Jungle Lodge. The room was beautiful with an amazing view. People were very friendly and they were always ready to help with a big smile. We felt truly special. Our guide Sagar took our safari experience to another level. He put so much effort into helping us find animals and shared so much knowledge with us. Ps: Lemon grass drink was an addiction.

Jungle lodge is probably the best place I have stayed. You can feel how much they care in every single detail. From the perfect room to the delicious dinners. The activities are amazing. We loved the Jeep Safari so much that we had to do it again. We also recommend the boat safari (if you can, do it during the sunrise and during the sundowner, it is completely different vibes). Our naturalist, Sagar, made our trip even more special by teaching us about the jungle and it animals. If you can, ask for him! He is so passionate about his work that it will contagious you with that energy. Regarding the wild life, the only thing we missed was a tiger. However we saw so many rhinos that we had to get one of their wooden rhinos souvenir. I can’t recommend it enough. Stay here and you will have the time of your life.
