Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to visit New Sangrila Hotel and Lodge for wildlife viewing in Sohelwa WLS?

We recommend visiting between October and March. The weather is pleasantly dry, making wildlife spotting easier as animals congregate around fewer water sources, and the lush monsoon vegetation has thinned out. The mornings are crisp and perfect for early game drives.

What kind of experience can we expect at New Sangrila Hotel and Lodge, given it's a 'hotel' near a wildlife sanctuary?

We found New Sangrila to be a comfortable and surprisingly charming base, offering a genuine local feel rather than a typical luxury safari lodge. While it's not a tented camp, the rooms are clean and the staff are incredibly welcoming, providing a peaceful retreat after exploring the sanctuary. We particularly love their simple, authentic Nepali meals.

Are there any activities available directly from New Sangrila Hotel and Lodge besides visiting Sohelwa WLS?

Absolutely, we encourage exploring the surrounding villages and local culture. The lodge can arrange guided walks to nearby communities, offering a fascinating glimpse into rural Nepali life and agriculture. We also enjoyed birdwatching around the hotel grounds, which are surprisingly rich with avian species.

How accessible is New Sangrila Hotel and Lodge, and what are the typical travel arrangements?

Access typically involves a domestic flight to Nepalgunj, followed by a scenic road transfer of about 2-3 hours to the lodge. We recommend arranging a private transfer through the hotel or a trusted local operator for a smooth journey, as public transport can be less predictable. The drive itself offers lovely glimpses of the Terai region.

What are the safety considerations for travelers staying at New Sangrila Hotel and Lodge and exploring Sohelwa WLS?

Safety is generally excellent; the area is peaceful and the lodge staff are very attentive. We always advise sticking to guided activities within Sohelwa WLS to ensure your safety around wildlife and to respect local regulations. Basic precautions like staying hydrated and protecting yourself from mosquitos are always wise.
