Bardia Forest Resort

We had booked to stay elsewhere but after one disastrous night there, we cancelled our booking and found Bardia Forest Resort had last minute availability for us. It was like a breath of fresh air. We had a lovely comfortable cottage, very clean and quiet. The resort is super close to Bardia National Park and the setting is wonderful. We are avid birders so managed to spot many species in the gardens there. We booked two walking safaris and 2 jeep safaris during our stay. Our guide Jal was fantastic and his expertise enabled us to see wild tigers, rhinos, a large herd of Indian elephants, Ganges River dolphin, Jackal, mongoose and countless birds. It was incredible!!! I had developed a terrible cough and Jal was so kind with making me basil tea and trying wild herbs to alleviate my symptoms. The kitchen created us the most fabulous dal bhat for lunch one day. The team were all very kind, welcoming and friendly.

We booked all inclusive but this only included water and tea for drinks. Non-alcoholic/soft drinks were an additional charge. The food was good but became a little repetitive especially for the safari lunches, being chicken fried rice every day. We would have given the resort a 10 if it weren't for these points.
