Gaida Wildlife Camp borders the Rhino
(our namesake) Zone in the central area
of Royal Chitwan National Park. Guests
on elephant-back safari quite often 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.
Incentive Programs for tour groups,
special interest tours, agencies and
companies can be handled for up to 120
people. Please inquire for more

Getting There
Flight
A 15 minute flight from Kathmandu to the
Bharatpur airport in Chitwan followed by
a drive of about 40 minutes is one of
the popular ways to arrive at Gaida.
Road
A scenic and enjoyable access to Gaida
is by road. The four hour country drive
on the Prithvi Highway following the
beautiful Trishuli river is a very
rewarding experience. The drive through
small villages, seeing people of diverse
ethnic origins and terraced fields,
presents an enchanting scene.
Raft
A raft trip of varying lengths on the
Gandaki, Trishuli or Narayani rivers
followed by a short drive escorted by
Gaida representatives to the Gaida
Jungle Lodge & Camp is another popular
means to get the resort.
