Meghauli Serai Chitwan National Park - A Taj Safari Lodge

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.

Starting the day with breakfast as you watch rhinos across the river bank, you would think things could get better but they do. The accomodation is truely lovely, the staff could not be more welcoming, our jeep jungle tours were impressive with local guides and drivers who knew all the best spots to kind Rhino and wait for tigers and leopards to appear after discovering footprints. The spa left me relaxed and rejuvenated. The meals were delicious and changed every night and the cocktails were an added bonus.

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!

What a fantastic experience we had 2 weeks ago at Meghauli Serai. I was there with my godadughter for 3 nights, and we were treated like royalty. From the warm greeting upon arrival, the daily surprises by Sanjay, the care to make sure we enjoyed every meal (remembering our preferences) to the amazing daily safaris, it was all magical. The rooms were very comfortable with some of the best bedding of the whole trip. The private plunge pool was a perfect respite from the hot hot weather. It was clean, clear and cool. The food was varied and we always had a choice of western or Nepali food. The chef(s) made some fabulous meals, and Sanjay and his coworkers delivered them with a smile, with some jokes, and in varied locations (pool, restaurant, bar, river view) so every meal was memorable. I spoke with my goddaughter's mom today and she said my goddaughter was still bringing up Sanjay and his wonderful hospitality. He really made it so special. The variety and combination of the jeep, boat and walking safari ls kept it interesting and fresh each day. Speaking of the safari, I had missed an opportunity to do a safari in India to look for tigers, so spotting a tiger here was on the top of my list. I knew not to be upset if we didn't see one, as the grasses were starting to get high, and a safari isn't like Disneyland- you aren't guaranteed any sightings. Our naturalist, Santosh, mentioned they hadn't seen a tiger in a month or so. In our second day, we were so very pleased to get to a vantage point to see a large male tiger crossing the river. When the locals on elephants mentioned their elephants were getting a bit spooked, Santish knew exactly where we needed to go. And our (always smiling) driver, Balkrishna, got us up to the lookout place just in time!! It was magical, and I think our excitement was matched by our guides's excitement. With bucket list item checked off, i was satisfied. But when a a tiger is sighted, it's likely to be spotted in the area again in the surtounding days. So we went back and searched the area. No luck. However, later on our way out of the park, I spotted a tiger just off to the right in the grass hanging out. This time a female and she was glorious. I know we were lucky, and finding all the animals is not guaranteed (we never saw the sloth bear), however, I believe the care, knowledge, and persistence of Santosh helped us make the most of our experience. I highly recommend if you find yourself in Nepal and want to get close to nature, you book a place at Meghauli Serai. You won't regret it.
