  Welcome to our Lodge – A Journey into Nature, Creativity, and Wellness
  
  Nestled on the serene banks of the Rapti River in Sauraha, the lodge is an evolving eco-friendly bamboo retreat that blends sustainability with creativity and freedom. Surrounded by lush greenery and the melodies of nature, we are thrilled to invite you to be part of our next chapter of expansion and discovery.
  
  We’ve been working tirelessly to bring more than just a place to stay – we've created an immersive experience. Imagine waking up to the sound of birds singing, doing yoga or meditation in our newly built meditation hall among the trees, cooling off in our beautiful bio swimming pool ( working Progress ), and watching the stars twinkle above during our outdoor movie nights on the acoustic stage. The lodge is designed to inspire a deeper connection to nature, foster creativity, and promote well-being.
  
  What We’ve Built So Far:
  
  Bio Swimming Pool: Dive into a natural, eco-friendly swimming experience.
  Reception & Bar: Relax with a refreshing drink, enjoying local flavours or a chill beer.
  Acoustic Stage for Live Music & Outdoor Movie Nights: Connect with fellow traveler through music, film, and shared creative energy.
  
  Meditation Hall: A space for inner peace and mindfulness, perfect for yoga or quiet reflection under the canopy of trees.
  
  What’s Next: We are currently working on enhancing the lighting around the property to create a magical, warm ambiance during the evening. We’re also preparing to host live music events, so if you're a musician or just love the idea of jamming by the riverside, this is the perfect spot to unleash your creativity.
  
  Our space is built for freedom – whether you want to engage with like-minded conscious travelers or enjoy solitude, there’s a balance for everyone. You’ll experience firsthand the vibrant wildlife of Chitwan, with occasional sightings of rhinos across the river and the gentle presence of our friendly neighbourhood crocodile, Morgan, basking on the riverbank.
  
  The Adventure Awaits You
  
  This is more than just a stay – it's a chance to immerse yourself in nature, tap into creative energy, and enjoy wellness practices like meditation, all while contributing to the expansion of an eco-friendly lodge. We believe in building something beautiful with collective minds and hands, and we welcome those eager to explore, create, and connect.
