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

Meghauli Serai, Taj Safari, is a stunning gateway into the wild beauty of Chitwan National Park. Our stay was filled with unforgettable moments—from close encounters with majestic tigers and one-horned rhinos to watching hornbills and kingfishers take flight across the river at dawn. The variety of birdlife alone is reason to visit. The safari jeeps are the best in the park—open, comfortable, and designed to offer an immersive and safe experience. Our naturalist, Sandip, brought the jungle to life with stories, insights, and deep local knowledge passed down through generations. Our driver, Santosh, was equally fantastic—skilled, sharp-eyed, and always respectful of the animals and their habitat. The lodge itself is serene and luxurious. We stayed in a Rapti Villa with its own private pool and sweeping views of the river. The spa is a hidden gem—peaceful, professional, and surrounded by a breathtaking lotus and water lily pond. The culinary experience is exceptional. The chef is incredibly talented and happy to tailor each meal to your preferences. Much of the produce is grown onsite in their organic garden, and every dish we had was both fresh and beautifully prepared. And don’t miss the fresh lemongrass martini—Sanjay crafts it perfectly using lemongrass snipped from the garden right in front of you. This was more than a trip—it was a transformative experience, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

By far the best TAJ property we have stayed at. This place is an experience in itself, being inside the iconic Chitwan National Park, the biggest and first national park in Nepal, this place has every element which one would want to experience when on a safari. What differentiate this place is definitely the staff, people, naturalists (who are professionally trained and certified). They employ the local people from the neighbouring village to create employment and support the system around. The food (we went for full board which includes all meals but no drinks) was super delicious. Every meal was a treat and the quality /fresh ingredients could be felt. The safari experience which we did with Santosh was amazing. We opted for 2 safaris since we were here for 3 days, in addition to river safari (must do) , we also did jungle walk (as experience in itself) spotting so many rhinos, wild boar, tiger pug marks, crocs, and number of birds species with spotted deers. We also spotted a baby rhino with the mum We didn't want to leave this place and wanted to extend. But I am sure we will be back again. Thank you to the team and manager Amit for taking care of us and making it a memorable stay from every aspect

We were lucky enough to stay here as a family on a trip in October 2024. Upon entering the grounds, it is apparent the level of attention to detail and service paid by staff. We were warmly greeted at check-in (the main building is stunning, with views directly across the river into Chitwan National Park. Each excursion into the park was spectacular; our guide was incredibly knowledgable and took us to many different spots, allowing us to see the endangered black rhinos on many occasions in addition to numerous other flora and fauna. I want to specifically shout-out Sanjay, who was managing the culinary experience. His positive, friendly, welcoming energy was contagious and he went above and beyond to consistently ensure we were enjoying every meal. He was outstanding in every way, and set the bar absurdly high for excellent hospitality. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone traveling to see Chitwan.

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!

We stayed three nights at the Meghauli Serai and had extremely positive experience. The whole staff was very friendly and service minded from the first moment until leaving us at the airport (special thanks to Santosh and Sanjay). The place is well designed, clean and cozy. Having visited many hotels and resorts around the globe, Meghauli Serai stands out as one of the very best.
