Jagatpur Lodge

Chitwan National Park


Accommodation here is rather oddly split between five blocks of modern and spacious rooms, which feel a bit like a high-end motel, and some very nice luxury safari tents from South Africa, with big decks and internal baths, arrayed along the river. All the usual activities are catered for including excursions to nearby lakes. Be sure to negotiate your rate.

The lodge is located along the western border of the park, near the village of Jagatpur, and has enough security for the most paranoid billionaire.
