Frequently Asked Questions

What unique wildlife experiences can we expect when staying at Deep Shajan Hotel & Lodge, given its proximity to Koshi Tappu?

We love Deep Shajan for its direct access to the incredible birdlife of Koshi Tappu. While it's a hotel, not a traditional safari camp, we often spot various species right from the lodge grounds, and the reserve itself is a birder's paradise, especially for the endangered Swamp Francolin and various waterbirds.

When is the best time of year to visit Deep Shajan Hotel & Lodge for optimal wildlife viewing in Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve?

We highly recommend visiting between October and March. During these cooler, drier months, migratory birds flock to Koshi Tappu, making for sensational birdwatching, and the clear skies offer beautiful views of the surrounding landscapes.

What is the overall ambiance and level of comfort like at Deep Shajan Hotel & Lodge? Does it truly feel like a safari lodge?

Deep Shajan strikes a lovely balance; it feels comfortable and well-appointed, more like a charming guesthouse than a rustic safari camp. We appreciate its relaxed atmosphere and the genuine warmth of the staff, offering a peaceful retreat after a day exploring the reserve.

What specific activities or excursions can Deep Shajan Hotel & Lodge arrange for us to explore Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve?

The lodge excels at arranging tailored excursions into Koshi Tappu. We recommend their guided birdwatching walks and jeep safaris, which are excellent for spotting the wild water buffalo and various deer species, and their boat trips on the Koshi River are a must-do for unique perspectives.

How accessible is Deep Shajan Hotel & Lodge, and what are the best travel options for reaching it from Kathmandu?

Reaching Deep Shajan typically involves a domestic flight from Kathmandu to Biratnagar, followed by a scenic drive of about 1.5 to 2 hours. We advise arranging a transfer directly with the lodge for a seamless journey, as local transport can be less reliable.
