Barahi Jungle Lodge sits on a wide bend of the Rapti River, directly across from the forests and grasslands of Chitwan National Park. Spread across spacious grounds, the lodge feels more like a secluded jungle hamlet than a hotel, with standalone mud-and-thatch style huts and a signature river-facing pool framed by tall trees.
Wake to birdsong, watch rhinos and deer from the deck, and end the day with soft sunset light over the park. Evenings bring a warm fire, local cultural performances, and unhurried dinners under the open sky. A strong sustainability focus runs through the property, from extensive tree planting to community-based staffing and reduced plastic use.
