Gaida Wildlife Camp borders the Rhino (our namesake) Zone on the northeast corner of The Chitwan National Park. Guests on elephant-back safari sometimes see as many as 10 to 15 rhinos. Gaida Lodge overlooks the river that serves as the parks natural boundary. Views from your bungalow window can include any of the mammals and birds that make their home in the park.
Reputed as one of the best managed Jungle Safari Resorts of Nepal, Gaida boasts of having two facilities; the Luxury Lodge and the outdoor Jungle Camp located within the central area of the park. Staffed by competent and dedicated professionals, Gaida offers an unusual setting and unique opportunity to observe wildlife from a close range.
Gaida Jungle Lodge is situated overlooking the Dungre River. Thirty two twin-sharing bungalows are built in a semi circle around a central dining Restaurant. Each has a sweeping view of the river & the grass land across with all standard furnishings and a spacious balcony. Attached toilet and shower facility using solar power for hot water are available. An outdoor garden and a well stocked bar provide a very comfortable atmosphere to stretch out and enjoy the surrounding jungle and even the towering Himalayas up in the north on clear days.
In order to maintain the jungle atmosphere and balance with wildlife, neither the Jungle Lodge or the Camp are provided with electricity. Candles and Kerosene lanterns will be placed at your door during the night. A/C is provided by generator and water is solar-heated.
