Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Bardia

Where to starts... Hukum, his wife and their little boy are amazing! They are some of the most hospitable and genuine people that we have met during our trip. After 5 days with them, we were super sad to leave! They make you feel like you are part of the family. The food is delicious and they make sure to switch it up as well. Also, Hukum is super knowledgable and can explain a lot about the village and the jungle. He also helped us to book our bus ticket and tuktuk for our next destination which was appreciated.

Great location, lovely staff, very helpful.

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.

Baba, Prakash and Dave are exceptional guides and you will get for sure a warm welcome. They do fantastic safaris and you feel their passion for wildlife. Had a great time seeing a lot of wildlife! Couldn't have asked for more. 👌 Their place is small but cosy and you can relax under some trees when you have a rest day. Don't expect high luxury but this is not what you probably came for. If you want to have the best safaris, these are your guys to go with. I came back even after 7 years to see wildlife in Bardia NP with them. So, it will be for sure an experience to remember :D

If you would like to stay in a true Nepali homestay, Nanu and Kali’s place is amazing. They offer a very pure, yet comfortable experience. They have two rooms for rent, and live on the property themselves. Nanu will be able to guide you on hiking safari’s as well for a good price. Apart from that the food is amazing. :) Would 100% recommend anybody looking for a Nepali experience to go here!

You become one of the Family at Golden River, I had such a fantastic time here, a wonderful family led by Pappu, Incredible guide, the most delicious food & the best location 😍😍 I saw so many birds just sat on the porch drinking Masala Chai, Recommend to anyone who wants to fulfill their dreams of seeing the wildlife & experience the warmth & hospitality of a great local family, & yes, I saw 3 Tigers amongst so much other wildlife!!!! 😍😍🐯🐯😍😍

"The location of Bardiya Eco-Friendly Homestay is breathtaking, surrounded by beautiful farms and greenery that create a peaceful, natural ambiance. The setting feels like a perfect escape from the hustle of city life. The tranquility and scenic views were truly refreshing. Adding to the charm was the warm hospitality and authentic Nepali food prepared by the hosts. The proximity to Bardiya National Park also made it convenient for wildlife adventures and cultural experiences. A perfect retreat for nature lovers and eco-conscious travelers!"

Very beautiful place near the river and the entry of the national park. The owners and the staff are really pleasant, I took the jungle tour with them, very beautiful day and we’ve seen lot of animals. Thank you Namaste Bardiya for this beautiful stay.
