Meghauli Serai Chitwan National Park - A Taj Safari Lodge

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 .

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

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.

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 enjoyed a wonderful stay at Meghauli Serai. Even though our plane was five hours late leaving from Kathmandu, we were greeted with smiles at the airport and at the hotel. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds. The large bathroom and balcony were an additional benefit. We were thrilled to know the hotel has a policy of four garments free per day, per person for laundering our clothes which was greatly appreciated. Every meal was delicious with amazing detail to their presentation. When dinning, Sanjay always greeted us with a smile and was very accommodating with any requests. He was an ambassador for their resort including leading the guest in dance cultural dinner show. Buddhi, our safari guide was personable and incredibly knowledgeable as he led us on our trek into the park. He made sure we were able to see a rhino up close. Amit, as the Hotel Manager, you have an amazing staff. We appreciate your continued interest in our stay including making sure to adjust our arrival and departure coordination impacts due to delayed flights. No easy task. We enjoyed our stay greatly!

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.
