Nanu's Bardiya Homestay

I highly recommend Nanu’s Bardiya homestay!! Nanu’s home and family are so beautiful and they are very kind and generous and make you feel so welcome! Nanu is an amazing safari guide. He is so knowledgeable on all the animals in the area and is super patient and persistent with making sure every guest gets the opportunity to see all the animals. He’s got great connections in the park and we loved that all the guides call each other when they have an animal sighting. We were lucky enough to see rhinos, elephants and even a tiger on our last afternoon. Bardiya national park feels like a real wild adventure. There are not many tourists and it’s not very commercial. Animals are found by following tracks and dung and listening out for animal sounds. Was a very cool experience. All the food that Kali (Nanu’s wife) makes is delicious. Best Dahl bhat and momos we had in Nepal! She was even happy for us to learn how to make the Dahl bhat and fold our momos. The two boys are great fun and super helpful with helping Nanu and Kali run the homestay. We took a private van from Pokhara to Tansen. Stayed in Tansen (beautiful place) one night then took an overnight deluxe AC bus to Bardiya. There is also the option of flying to Nepalgunj. It is well worth the effort to get out to Bardiya!

All was good. Had a fantastic stay at Nanu’s ! Room is fine and large. WiFi is working perfectly. There is hot water. I stayed 4 nights at Nanu’s place and did both a walking and jeep safari with Nanu and saw so many wildlife ! Nanu is also a wildlife guide. The food is also excellent, the best Dhal Bhat in Nepal. If you want to immerse yourself in a genuine Nepali lifestyle family and share fantastic moments, this is the place to go to ! Also there are many buses coming from Butwal, Pokhara or even Katmandu to reach the place. The bus stop is named Ambassa. And from there Nanu can organise a tuktuk to reach the village. All was perfect. Thanks again Nanu and your amazing family for this amazing stay!

All was good !

What an amazing place to stay! We have been received in Nanu’s family as if it was our own. My kids and I had reserved for 3 nights and ended up staying 6..! Our room was beautiful, spacious and comfortable. Food was always delicious. Safaris with Nanu in the national park were so nice! He is an excellent guide, very respectful and eager to make sure you have the best experience. Nanu, Kali, Ayus and Arush and so warm, kind and fun! We can only recommend to stay with them! Thank you so much for everything <3!
