"Great trip. Beautiful hotel. Wonderful service. We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Barahi Lodge in october. The lodges are beautiful, very comfortable and the service from all the staff was outstanding. The hotel sits on the river bank opposite the wildlife reserve. You are looked after by a naturalist who organises your trips - safari, boat, walks into the jungle and ensures that you have a good time. We were lucky to see Rhino, crocodile, monkeys, deer and, in the distance, tigers ( unusual and very lucky). The road to Chitwan from Pokhara is difficult but it was well worth the journey. We flew back from Bharatpur (about 1 hour from the lodge) to Kathmandu and can recommend that"
