Barahi Jungle Lodge
A comfortable riverside lodge at Meghauli on the edge of Chitwan National Park, with its own naturalists, jeep safaris, canoe trips and village visits. A calm alternative to Sauraha with good access to the park's western grasslands and the Narayani.

Barahi Jungle Lodge stands on the banks of the East Rapti at Meghauli, with the national park across the river. Rooms are set in gardens with views toward the forest, and the lodge has a restaurant and bar where guests gather after the evening drive. The village of Meghauli is a short walk away.
The lodge's safari team runs jeep drives into the western grasslands, canoe trips on the Rapti, guided walks with licensed nature guides and visits to Tharu homes and the Narayani confluence. It is a good choice for travellers who want a full programme of activities in a quieter part of Chitwan without going to the very top end of prices.
Why we use it
- Riverside location opposite the park in quiet Meghauli
- Full activity programme run by the lodge's own team
- Easy access to the Narayani for gharials and sunsets
