Machan Wildlife Resort
Where the Sal forest of the Chitwan
jungle meets the wide and beautiful
valley of the Rapti river, the world is
wild and splendid. Broad grassland
sweeps north to the Mahabharata range
and virgin jungle extends south to the
Churia hills. For centuries the dense
jungle bordering on the foothills of the
Himalayas formed an impenetrable
barrier, keeping Nepal a hidden and
mysterious kingdom. The last three
decades have seen that barrier breached,
but the jungle of the Royal Chitwan
National Park remains a world apart.
Here the spirit of great
explorer-adventurers still lives.
With the opening of Machan Wildlife
Resort a new chapter is being written in
adventure and exploration in the Chitwan
jungle. The perfect beauty of its
setting allows one to realize a fantasy
most of us have cherished since
childhood: the spirit of Mowgli in the
world of Rudyard Kip ling.
LOCATION
Machan Wildlife Resort is located 190 km
southwest of Kathmandu in the eastern
edge of the Royal Chitwan National Park
.
GETTING THERE
By land -
Our vehicles will drive you there on the
same mountain road which originally
revealed Nepal 's hidden beauty to the
outside world. The road crosses the
Mahabharat Range at 2500 m and follows
the Trishuli river most of the way.It
offers splendid views of the Himalayas
in clear weather.
By air -There
are two daily flights from Kathmandu to
Bharatpur airfield, the nearest to
Machan Wildlife Resort, and from
Bharatpur guests are transported by
Land-Rover to the resort which is 40 km
from the airfield.
By raft -
You can opt for a raft trip down the
Trishuli river which follows the road
down into Chitwan National Park , with
our trained rafting crew, and bivouac at
camps on riverside beaches. This is
Nepal 's most popular rafting river, for
its impressive gorges, exciting rapids,
and some easier sections. For many
people it represents the ideal
compromise trip: just the right length
of, exhilarating rapids, and not too
difficult.
