About this site

This guide was created to provide general information about Meghauli Village for independent travellers. While touring Nepal we heard about this place from people who got there by accident so we look for information in internet to go there and we only found data from the expensive jungle resorts but very little about the logistic to travel independently there. So we took our chances and went to Meghauli Village without knowing if we would find cheap accommodation and reliable services to go on a jungle adventure in the Chitwan National Park. And what we found there was a very well organized destination, with elephants ready for safaris, certified jungle guides, an interesting cultural program and the cheap and comfortable Tharu Homestays with delicious homemade food. We also found a very welcoming community, a colourful village life and a perfect place to slow down the pace… but with little resources to promote the place, there were no tourist to give life to this amazing destination.


        At the time of writing there were more than 150 hotels and guest houses in Sauraha -the most popular entrance of the Chitwan National Park- while Meghauli Village had only 5 Tharu Homestays and 2 guest houses that are empty most of the year. Here there are no bars, wifi cafes, souvenir shops or ATMs, just a handful of local restaurants that don’t even have an English sign. But is not going to be long before Meghauli Village enters the tourist radar, so if you are those travellers who like to “discover” a destination way before the masses, you should come here now.



        We created this site because we believe that sustainable tourism can have a very positive impact for many people in Meghauli Village and they are very willing to see more visitors. But irresponsible travellers can do a lot of harm in the fragile nature and the culture of the area. So please only share this information only with travellers committed with sustainable travel practices. And if you have any comments please write to us to meghaulifit@gmail.com
