Mohan Aryal
Managing Director
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.
I spent – “sadly too short-2 nights in bardia, and the management, guides and other members of staff were professional, well informed and extremely helpful. Thoroughly recommended”

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

An early morning 30 km drive by jeep will drop you by the Karnali River. This is followed by a serene day rafting down the gentle Karnali. Drifting down the river allows you to spot wildlife, especially the endangered freshwater Gangetic dolphin, the gharial crocodile, exotic birds and big game on the nearby river banks. Swimming is also possible and sometimes the dolphins may join you!
Bardia National Park provides a number of well looked after domestic elephants. These fearless, majestic animals provide the safest and easiest way to move around inside the park. Walking through tall grasslands and dense jungle, you’ll sight wildlife safely from the back of the elephant.
These are aimed at particular habitats or types of wildlife. For example, a popular choice is a Black Buck Antelope Tour or a prolonged three-day deep jungle trek. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any further details or information on what you want to do.
Local bikes are available for you to explore the local village, with or without a guide.
FROM THE BLOGThis year I had my most amazing jungle safari in Nepal going around Bardia National Park as a part of market research, feasibility study and safari holidays.
