Meghauli Serai

Venture into the heart of the Nepalese wilderness and make yourself at home at the tranquil Meghauli Serai in Chitwan National Park.

Part of Taj Safaris, the lodge is surrounded by lush forests, with the Himalayas just beyond the treetops. Overlooking the Rapti River, the neutral colours in the spacious suite, 16 villas and 13 rooms create a peaceful refuge. Immerse yourself in the sounds of the jungle as you unwind in a private plunge pool, or enjoy views of the mountains and the Terai grasslands from your balcony.

At the end of the day, catch up with your fellow guests as you enjoy sundowners under the stars, or a tuck into a bush dinner of Tharu-inspired cuisine out at the bonfire. If you’re looking for something a little more intimate, find a table in the dining room or bar, or dine in your room.

A team of skilled rangers are on hand to take you on Jeep, walking and river safaris where you have the chance to spot the one-horned rhinoceros, ghariyals (a species of crocodile found on the Indian subcontinent), sloth bears and a wide variety of other wildlife. Make the trip extra special with an elephant bathing and feeding experience, and meet the inhabitants of a Tharu village and learn about their customs.
