Barahi Jungle Lodge

這家酒店離索拉哈50公里，在國家森林公園的另一邊，酒店自有吉普車巡遊100美金性價比不高，索拉哈一日遊騎大象吉普車獨木舟樣樣有才500人民幣，進出酒店去索拉哈單程需要車費90美金，完全不方便，服務很好，這價錢在當地是天花板的酒店了，自駕的朋友沒事！

Luxury lodge in a beautiful setting on the river. Everything from the safari guides, lodgings, rooms and personnel is outstanding but never ostentatious. Not only is the lidge beautiful during the day, but at night time, it is quite magical. With over 600 petrol lamps scattered all over the decks, paths, and steps by the river, the atmosphere is absolutely divine. A must is either dining on the river or, even more delightful, in the bush. I cannot imagine anyone leaving this place not wanting to come back. The guides and drivers are outstanding too and not only are the Jeep safaris worth it, but a boat trip on the river at sunrise gives you the chance to come very close to the rhinos in the water.

We had a truly wonderful time Barahi jungle lodge. It was hugely relaxing and peaceful, with our beautiful room looking over the river. The beds were so comfortable and the bathroom was lovely too. Food was really delicious every meal. Loved all of it - very fresh and varied. We did two full days of drives and saw extensive wildlife, with a fleeting glimpse of a tiger in the distance. However the large number of rhino, deer, monkeys, some sloth bears, bison and birds mean that it’s a really enchanting experience in beautiful surroundings. Huge thanks to every member of the team for making it such a wonderful experience. There was extreme kindness and generosity shown. Every single one of them went out of their way to ensure that we had a great time.

We have recently returned from a four night stay at the Barahi Jungle Lodge where we had a truly wonderful time. The staff really couldn’t do enough for us and were happy to accommodate any special requests that we made (whether this was special orders for the kids at the restaurant or additional activities just for our family). Our guide, Rajesh, really looked after us and we really enjoyed all of the activities (jungle safari, boating etc) that we undertook with him. He really did go the extra mile to make sure that we had a good time. We saw lots of animals (rhinos, peacocks, and wild boar being a highlight for the kids). The bungalows are immaculately clean and well designed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. After staying at several other hotels in Nepal, we were very happy to have a comfortable bed and tea and coffee making facilities. I was also very impressed by the massage I had the spa. I had a knee issue before I had my treatment which now seems to have been resolved! Aside from that, it was a really good massage in general! Some thought has been made to ensure that the lodge reduces its impact on nature with filtered water and sensibly packed toiletries, which we were very pleased to see. The food that we ate at the lodge was fantastic - especially breakfast, although we honestly enjoyed all of our meals at the lodge, which included buffets and set menus as well as a la carte. I also really liked the unlimited tea and coffee available at the resort. Again staff at the restaurant were top notch and looked after us really well. We also enjoyed the evening performances, and learning a bit more about the local community - in fact one of the activities that we liked the best was the walk around the local village with Rajesh. Overall we had a really great stay and really didn’t want to leave!

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.

We had booked four nights at Barahi Jungle Lodge with full-day packages. My wife and I were picked up at the airport by an English-speaking host and driver, and we were later welcomed by the lodge manager who introduced us to our excellent personal guide, Sudixcha. The compound itself is lush and elegant, the guest bungalows are large, comfortable, and quiet, and all look out onto the national park. Breakfast, lunch, dinner was buffet style, and remarkably varied. The dishes were distinct and tasted fresh – a big thumbs up for the cooks. We did not see tigers during a morning hike into the jungle, but we saw foraging rhinos within throwing distance, monkeys, and herd upon herd of spotted deer. Our two stick-carrying guides did point out fresh tiger markings – they were excited, but I did not mind the big cats eluded the four of us. The river and jeep safaris revealed the park’s geographical diversity and everywhere the park was teaming with wildlife -- and our guides knew how to spot it. In general, the service in Nepal is excellent, but the guides and the staff at the lodge were particularly good at making the guest feel special.
