Rooms
Spread over twelve hectares, the lodge offers 35 deluxe boutique guest rooms, built as individual and two-in-one private villas. Each room opens to a private balcony from which the green canopies of Chitwan and waters of Rapti send a blissful aroma throughout the day.
Standalone cottages bear a whiff of austere Tharu Culture; our rooms speak volumes about our pledge to offer luxury in an ecological way! Each guest room features a décor with a blend of contemporary and traditional Nepali furnishings, indigenous elements such as used wood, bamboo, elephant grass and animal arts and crafts.
Meals
The lodge provides a multi-cuisine culinary experience enhanced with organically grown healthy products. We serve Continental and authentic Indo-Nepalese cuisines. We also welcome a la carte choices. The scrumptious taste of organic and assorted grains from home-grown fields and home-made pickles lingers on your taste buds.
The Tiger’s Den bar has been environed in a way that nature can be felt more closely and deeply. A very well equipped bar that serves a selection of spirits- aperitif, wines and liqueurs.
The evenings are filled with lively performances by the locals. Colorfully dressed Tharu girls and boys exhibit their culture through dance and music performances forming a rhythm that will get you shaking a leg with them. We also offer juggling and flaming performances upon request.
