Wildlife Comes First
Our safaris follow park rules and keep a respectful distance. A good sighting is never worth stressing an animal.
About Us
A Family Home at the Edge of the Jungle
We are a small, locally run homestay in Thakurdwara, a short walk from Bardia National Park.
Why We Opened Our Home
Bardia Eco-Friendly Homestay started as our family home on the edge of the park. Travelers kept asking where to stay close to the tigers, so we opened our doors.
Today our guests sleep in simple, comfortable rooms, eat vegetables from our own farm, and head into the jungle with guides who grew up beside it.
We keep things small on purpose. Fewer guests means quieter safaris, real conversations around the fire, and less pressure on the forest we depend on.
“We want every guest to leave knowing the forest a little better, and caring about it a little more.”
What we care about
Local Hands, Local Knowledge
Our guides, cooks and staff are from Bardia. Your stay supports families in the village, not distant investors.
Food From Our Own Soil
Most of what you eat is grown on our organic farm, a few steps from the dining table.
Small by Design
A handful of rooms keeps the homestay calm and lets us give every guest real attention.
