Mohan Aryal is currently the Managing Director of FOREST HIDEAWAY RESORT established in 1994 at the edge of “Bardia National Park” of far west Nepal. He fetched decent training in “Chitwan National Park” and “King Mahendra Trust for Nature Conservation” relating to modern wildlife before being declared a Senior Naturalist. He had been a jungle excursion operator since 1986. Having gained profound experience around the national parks of South-East Asia he helps you to quench your thirst for flora and fauna. He started working as a naturalist in “Chitwan National Park” and in event extended his jungle tour to “BardiaNational Park” and other national parks in Nepal and India. He at first visited “ Bardia National Park” in 1989 simply as a tour guide. The untouched wilderness of “Bardia National Park” fascinated him so much that he was under charm of Bardia’s beauty to start his own small tourist cottage in 1994. Ever since he has been serving nature lovers as a guide, manager and above all as a friend.

Thank you all for an awesome time and helping us to appreciate this aspect (the terai ) after our Himalaya trek (Everest region) for three and half weeks. Our guide Gautam was fantastic. Our last day was made memorable when we got very close to a mother Rhino and her baby. The hospitality shown by Mohan & staff was superb and we shall be sure to tell our friends acquaintances what a fabulous time we had at Forest Hideaway. Again, thank you for an exciting end to our nepali adventure.
Best Wishes
