Meghauli Serai Chitwan National Park - A Taj Safari Lodge

We had high expectations for our stay, and the reality exceeded every one of them. We stayed in a villa that was thoughtfully furnished and decorated and extremely comfortable. The view of the river was perfect, joyful to sit outside and just relax. The property itself is attractive and welcoming, with lots of places to appreciate the surroundings and to rest and/or socialize. The dining area takes advantage of the views whether sitting indoors or out. A shout-out to Chitra and his associates for taking such fantastic and attentive care of us. A truly amiable host. It was like being treated by an old friend. The food was delicious and varied. Everything was excellent, but we especially enjoyed the Chinese offerings. And the safaris..... We were going in large part to see a tiger. We'd failed in our efforts in India, and the odds are even less in Nepal. Our deep and abiding gratitude to Santosh and Santosh for their extraordinary skills and, as important, their patience, which allowed us to see a tiger on two of our three drives. Just seeing one would have been a miracle, but two? Most people will take just one drive and cover a lot of territory. In our case, we arranged for a private vehicle and were able to sit quietly where Santosh and Santosh identified as highest probability based on their considerable knowledge, and it paid off. Please keep expectations in check, as sightings are very rare, but worth the effort. Beyond the tiger, we had exciting sightings of a sloth bear, crocs, rhinos, lots of birds, and many other animals. I also recommend taking taking the boat ride on the river. Beautiful scenery and stunning bird sightings. Many thanks to Amit and his superb staff. Without exception, they made us feel welcome and appreciated, responding immediately and cheerfully to whatever we needed. I recommend this property with great enthusiasm and appreciation for all the staff did to make our stay so memorable.

Thank you for the incredible hospitality! The attentive service and warm atmosphere made our stay truly memorable. We appreciate the attention to detail and friendly staff, My son had an amazing time with the entire team. Looking forward to returning in the future.

The bathrooms were very clean. The service was amazing and the staff really made us fell like we were at home special a staff member, Sanjay. The food was amazing. We got to try so many cuisines like Chinese. The hi- tea in the jungle was a different experience The safaris were great. The rooms were very clean and we got a beautiful scenery. Overall everything was great and I would definitely recommend.

One of best landmark in Megauli very close to Chitwan National Park . On the bank of rapti River . It can be a turning point to boost for luxury tourism in in Nepal . Jeep safari and boating down to golaghat to see a sunset trip . its a best hilights of this place .

This lovely safari hide-away is located by the river, all lodges have a terrace with views into nature. The lodge organises safaris by jeep and boat, we saw rhinos, crocs and elefant, numerous birds, and took a sundowner by the river. Lodges are confortable, indoor and outdoor shower, great bathrooms. Great food and wonderful friendly service everywhere. Wonderful place!

A truly wonderful & special way to explore Chitwan. The property itself is beautifully laid out with villas looking directly out over the Rapti River and into the Chitwan Reserve. But what really made the stay so special was the staff and their incredible Nepali hospitality. From the amazing Naturalists to the wonderful F&B staff. A call out in particular to Sanjay - who went out of his way to make our meals (& coffees) exceptional - and Santosh whose passion for his home and habitat really made our safari very meaningful.

After a back breaking journey of 7 hours from Kathmandu through bad road and traffic jam we landed at this property and it was definitely worth the trouble. I am a big fan of Taj properties and the hotel met all my expectations. The villas are wonderful, spacious, clean with huge a bathroom. Food was good. Service was great with all staff always attentive to guest's need. Best part of the hotel is it's location. The flowing water of the Rapti river and the Chitwan national park at the other end is truly amazing. We went on a safari ride of about four hours, spotted few animals. The evening boat ride with watching the sunset on the river bank with tea and snacks was very enjoyable. Thanks to the entire team of Meghauli Serai for making our stay so memorable. Special thanks to Aakruti, Sandeep, Sanjay, Mr Amit and tour guide Asbin. We would love to stay again at this hotel.

it's about 45 min. from the airport along a road lined with colorful houses, beautiful fields, etc. The resort is in a quiet and tranquil location; faces the river. Each unit has a small and private pool. Rooms is large with a very big bathroom. Overall pretty modern mixed with local antiques and art work. Breakfast buffet is not particularly extensive and not really western taste oriented (which is understandable) however, you can special order things. Huge swimming pool with lots of lounge chairs - in the shade or sun. Most exciting were the small boat trips over to the island where we were met by guides (max of 6 to a vehicle) who drove us through the jungle (absolutely wonderful). Never saw a tiger, but quite a few rhinos which was incredibly exciting (one crossed the river and took its time). overall lovely scenery. Our guide, Asbin, was very informative and spoke very good English.

A truly 5-star experience: 1) First class property all-round. Tranquil and luxurious. 2) Great room - comfy bed, loads of space, huge bathroom with great shower and separate bathtub. Private plunge pool was great too. 3) The staff are friendly and attentive - always smiling and ready to help. 4) The food is excellent - just be aware of the set meals with multiple courses - sometimes too much food. 5) The main pool is stunning, with a view out over the river (we even saw elephants from the pool one day). 6) The safaris (jeep, boat and foot) were excellent. The guides (all from the local area) are highly knowledgeable, and the whole experience was amazing, especially for the kids.
