Excursion Program

Preparation and Departure 🥾

The evening before your adventure, Daman hosts an information session at the lodge, covering the day’s program, safety instructions, and answering all your questions. The next morning, depart from the lodge by 4x4 to Bardiya National Park, leaving the vehicle at the embarkation point.

Safari 🚣‍♀️

Board an inflatable boat and paddle slowly to maximize wildlife spotting opportunities. Glide silently along the river, staying alert to every movement on the banks and in the water.

Picnic in the Wild 🍴

Around midday, enjoy a riverside lunch while remaining attentive to the wildlife around you.

Afternoon 🌄

Continue your safari in a 4x4, moving slowly and attentively. No stops are scheduled; every pause depends on tracks, sounds, or a rustle in the foliage.

Return & Final Discoveries 🚙

As the park closes just before sunset, visit:

The Crocodile Breeding Center
The Elephant Breeding Center
The Tharu Culture Museum

Finally, return to the lodge with hearts full of unforgettable memories and eyes still sparkling from a day immersed in the wild.

The Jungle Like Never Before

Serene nature escape

Offrez-vous une parenthèse paisible au cœur de la jungle de Bardiya, à bord d’un bateau pneumatique glissant doucement sur les eaux calmes de la rivière. En saison sèche, cette rivière devient l’unique point d’eau pour les animaux sauvages : un lieu d’observation privilégié.

Quiet wildlife observation

The river draws an incredible variety of wildlife to its banks — elusive tigers, solitary rhinos, and majestic elephants. You might even catch sight of playful otters fishing or a crocodile drifting silently through the waters.

The riverbanks come alive with activity, while the sky is filled with the graceful flight of birds, alert to every movement below. Quiet and refreshing, this ride offers a unique way to experience the jungle — carried by the current, surrounded by the gentle lapping of the water and the soothing sounds of nature.
