Meghouli Serai-Taj Safari Package

Overview

Standing on the banks of the Rapti River and looking across a vast expanse of water to the core of Chitwan National Park, Meghauli Serai – A Taj Safari is one of the most stylish wildlife lodges in South Asia. The Meghauli Serai Taj Safari Package (2 nights / 3 days) combines its 30 elegant rooms and villas, all-inclusive dining and expert naturalists with two scheduled safari activities per person per day, park and forest-guide fees and Bharatpur airport transfers.

The lodge is designed to showcase the wilderness: the main lounge hangs with a chandelier of 10,000 hand-painted Nepali beads, a large carved door from a local Tharu village leads into the lobby, and the infinity pool, viewing deck and riverside machan offer uninterrupted views of the jungle. Choose from Meghauli Rooms with balconies facing the Himalaya and the Terai grasslands, or Rapti Villas and Rapti Mahal with their own pools and river views, where unique dining experiences are included.

Your days follow the rhythm of the jungle: an afternoon river cruise on the Rapti on arrival and a traditional Tharu dinner with cultural dance; an early jeep safari deep into the park with breakfast in the jungle in search of rhinos, gaur, deer, leopards and the Royal Bengal tiger; and walking safaris, canoeing and village walks led by Taj naturalists, with time to relax by the infinity pool before a barbecue dinner.

FAQ

3 days. It starts in Chitwan and ends there. Overnight stops: Meghauli Serai. The day-by-day itinerary above shows travel times, places visited and meals for each day.

October to March is the most pleasant time on the Terai plains; February to May is best for wildlife sightings but April to June is hot. The tour runs all year, with fewer activities in the July–August monsoon.

The grade is easy. It is suitable for most travellers, including families with children and seniors; walking is mostly short and on paved paths or easy trails.

One-horned rhinoceros, spotted and sambar deer, wild boar, monkeys, gharial and mugger crocodiles and a huge variety of birds (more than 540 species) are seen on most visits. Royal Bengal tigers, leopards and sloth bears live in the park too, but sightings are a matter of luck. February to May, when the tall grass is cut, usually gives the best sightings.

Wear light, neutral-coloured clothing (green, brown, khaki), a long-sleeved shirt and long trousers, closed shoes and a hat. Bring insect repellent, sunscreen and binoculars. Bright colours, perfume and noise disturb the animals.

The Tharu are the indigenous people of the Terai, famous for their painted mud-and-reed houses, fishing and farming traditions, and the lively stick dance performed for visitors in the evening. A village walk with your guide gives an insight into their culture.

Wear clothing in muted colors Deer raise their tails to expose the bright white underside as a warning call – so leave those crisp white shirts at home! Rhinos do not respond kindly to bright colors, such as white and red. Please do not wear these colors so you do not provoke a rhino to charge at you Blending into the jungle colors helps camouflage you, so you can spot animals more easily Recommended colors: Olive green, Sand, Brown, Black. Keep quiet Most animals in the jungle have excellent hearing, so you might scare them away without realising it if you talk Animals are used to the lumbering sounds of the elephant and the drone of the LandRover, but respond to our speech with alarm. If you must converse, do so in a lowered voice Be alert Most wild animals blend excellently into their surroundings, so they are nearly invisible to us. The key to successfully spotting wildlife is to watch out for movement – our eyes are naturally trained for that, you just need to practice it! Also keep your ears tuned for odd rustlings, often it is an animal quietly slipping away!

Wear a pair of comfortable shoes that cover your feet completely, such as walking shoes or sneakers. Leave your flipflops and sandals for lounging around the camp instead. Wear socks with your shoes, preferably those that are higher than ankle-length. Sprinkle some salt just inside and around the edge of your socks Cover exposed skin Wear pants and long-sleeved shirts Keep a hat on Insect repellent If the weather is hot, excess clothing might be uncomfortable. In this case, apply insect repellent liberally on all exposed skin. If you end up with ticks or leeches on you anyway DO NOT attempt to pull it off! You might end up with either a tick head embedded in your skin, or a leech stuck to your finger! Apply a concentrated salt solution/camphor medication to the area until the insect drops off Remember that these insects only take a miniscule amount of your blood, so you could just let them drop off naturally. Apply a topical analgesic (if you have one) to the affected area to treat itching.

Pigeon Travel is easily one of the best travel companies I have dealt with! I don’t know how busy Mr Min Katri is, but i think he has many clients on the go, but he made me feel like I was his only customer. He was so conscientious. The guides he organised for my travels in Nepal: Pokhara, Kathmandu, and the Everest flight, Lumbini and then in India at Kushinara for a few days, was well organised with excellent guides, good drivers and cars and a good choice of hotels. They accommodated me with the places I wanted to visit and were very flexible and everything went smoothly, including navigating across the Sunoli border to India, which is chaos at another level. These guys are really excellent. Totally recommend Pigeon Travel. 👍👍

Amal Karunaratna

We spent 4 days in Nepal, visiting different places with the Pingeon Travel Agency, Mr. Min Khatri was very friendly, helpful and was attentive to us at all times, with 24-hour service. for anything we needed and was attentive to us via WhatsApp every day. We booked everything from Spain, they picked us up at the airport and at the end they took us, including a driver, guide in Spanish, visits and hotels, and we had no problem, they complied with everything agreed and we were able to visit everything. The driver (Mr. Pawan) is a very good driver, friendly and kind, and the guide (Mr. Giri) is friendly and helpful. Punctual, helpful and attentive. We were in 2 different hotels, and both were very good, highlighting the one in Kathmandu, Hotel Hyatt Place Kathmandu, a new hotel, excellent service and very friendly. The Pingeon Travel agency is highly recommended and they have everything from tours to complete packages. We were happy with the services.

Fantastic

JagdishMan Rajbhandari

Pigeon Travel has been an exceptional ressource for me in both travel support to and from Nepal, India, and Bhutan. Min Katri is simply always there onnecway or another, checking fright and other arrangements, hotel schedules and in Bhutan excellent ( required) tour guides. As well, he and Pigeon Travel are exceptional in meeting last minute changes to my plans and really are “there” 24/7. I thinking now about next trips and highly recommend Min and Pigeon travel for your trips— as in planning my next trip to India and Nepal and am using Pigeon Travel the whole way. Highly recommend!

I contacted them via Facebook messenger and asked them for a price estimate for two people to Dubai. The representative told me I will receive the quote tomorrow and it’s been three days I haven’t heard from him yet. I will remove my one star rating once I hear back.
