Nature Is The New Luxury
Bardiya Nature Lodge (BNL) is a small, family-owned wildlife lodge located along the Khaata migration corridor in Bardiya, Nepal. Nestled on the edge of the Tharu village of Khairini and bordered by the Aurahi River — a tributary of the Geruwa (Karnali) — BNL is one of the first eco-lodges to be established in this lesser-explored region.Â
But Bardiya Nature Lodge is more than just a place to stay—it’s a commitment to sustainability, cultural respect, and experiences that draw people closer to the land.
