Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Bhurkīā

This family makes me happy. They became family to me. We first met in 2020, but then covid happened and I suddenly had to go home. We kept in touch over the years. This March I returned to Nepal, to find some closure for the abrupt ending of my trip, and I came back to Bardia for them especially. ♥️ They all have a big heart, helping out with whatever you need. They really go an extra mile for you. Basu does important work within the community, helping and volunteering, giving education. He teaches others about the wildlife and how to live together with the wildlife, to protect both animal and human. Shardul is always there for you, stands beside you and you can come to him with any question. He's like a little brother to me and became a dear friend. Sarita is warm and welcoming. Her cooking is really the best I've had in Nepal. She now teaches this to Jyoti and Sumitra, two sweet girls they have in employment. And lets not forget their puppy Chelsey 😍 I've stayed 2,5 weeks this time. I went into the jungle for 8 days in total, jungle walks and twice jeep safari. I saw tigers more than once, a leopard, an elephant herd, single male elephant, rhino's, otters, the great hornbill bird (very rare to see), crocodiles, mongoose, many dear, golden jackell, river dolphins, monkeys and many birds. We even had a very special sighting of a tiger very close by (less than 100m on eye level). Their guide Santos is great; you can tell that he's connected to the nature around him and highly values your safety. My other days I spend in their garden with many flowers, to write and read and do my yoga practice. I slept in a treehouse in the community forest (part of the jungle) for one night (heard the tiger roar!) and Basu took me on a village tour to see the Tharu culture. All in all I can highly recommend this homestay! You'll be taken good care off and have everything you need for a comfortable time in Bardia. You can ask them anything.

Nice and lovely staff who give good recommendations and Prakash is a good guide to spot tigers in the jungle. The rooms are big and very clean and the wifi works well. I recommend this place if you want to stay in bardia.

We would get freshly prepared local Nepali food which was absolutely delicious! They have a wide selection of authentic local food to choose from. If you're in the right season, you can also get to try some fresh local honey! The location of the homestay is great, it is very close to the entrance of the national park. We had a great stay here, and had some incredible wildlife sightings (Rhinos, elephants, tigers, hornbills) thanks to the sharp eyes of Tek Bahadur (fondly called Pappu). Will definitely come to visit again!

Everything. Lovely secluded huts surrounded by jungle, across the road from a river and a short stroll to town and the jungle. The manager Krishna was very helpful and a guide through the park. His family were very friendly and his wife cooks delicious food that is well priced.

We have visited Bardia National Park 4 times. There are a lot of lodges and resorts, and they all offer pretty much the same things. But Bardia Wildlife Resort TRULY stood out. We stayed in a newly renovated room with air conditioning, good wifi, excellent meals. We took all our meals in the beautiful garden. We were surprised to see pizza and lasagna on the menu! And even more surprised when it really WAS pizza and lasagna! A welcome change from the usual Nepali food. The personal attention was incredible! Hira, the owner, took my wife into town to a fabric store where they made her two comfortable dresses for 1700 rupees, about 14 USD. I work in health care, and they arranged a visit to a local clinic, as well as the usual jeep and walking trips into the park.

From start to finish I can just say that I had a wonderful time at Mr B's Place. The property is situated in a beautiful location right next to the entrance of Bardia National Park. I opted mainly for local food and that was delicious. The guided walks into the park were great and the guides were attentive and very knowledgeable. It was a privilege to see bengal tigers and indian rhino in the wild like that and the evening talks around the fireplace will stay long in the memory bank. I will definitely recommend Mr B's Place to friends and family. Thank you for a great time.

Great location, lovely staff, very helpful.

This small hotel is set about 10 mins walk from the main gate into Bardia National Park. The bungalows are set well back from the small road hence they are very quiet indeed. The bungalows are spaced out so you are not bothered by noise from anyone else. The bungalow was well constructed with a spacious bathroom and air conditioning if needed. The two single beds were very comfortable. The hotel has a small restaurant and bar set in the garden. There is a good choice on the menu and food arrives in good time . It is cooked exactly as you asked for. The staff were exceptionally friendly helpful and informative. They organised our pickup to and from the airport and organised two walking tours in the forest with their resident guide who was so helpful. They also cooked some great food to take into the park as a small picnic. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to others.

The stay was comfortable rooms were amazing. My family and friends (15 people) travelling loved it. The food was spot on the safari was amazing the staff was very very attentive and helpful

I had a fantastic time staying with Nanu, Kali and children! They were so welcoming to their home and hospitable once you were there. My stay was made up of an amazing walking safari (but they can also do keep), delicious food cooked by Kali (possible the best dal bhat I have had) - including a mo mo cooking class - and lots of fun relaxing at their house and playing with the children. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a wholesome and inclusive experience!
