Diphlu River Lodge

An idyllic retreat surrounded by nature

Nestled on the edge of Kaziranga National Park and overlooking the river, Diphlu River Lodge offers you an idyllic retreat surrounded by nature. The lodge features eight individual cottages and four semi-detached cottages, all constructed from natural materials like bamboo and wood, with thatched roofs that blend seamlessly into the forest environment.

The 12 cottages can accommodate up to 24 guests. Four of the cottages are river-facing, while the remaining eight offer views of the lush paddy fields. Each is equipped with an en-suite bathroom, featuring a spacious shower area, dressing room and fitted wardrobe. Wide folding glass doors open onto a verandah, where you can relax in cane chairs and enjoy your surroundings.

The lodge’s charming common area, known as ‘Machan’ (jungle platform), is a raised, air-conditioned river-side space. It serves as both a sitting and dining area, opening onto two verandahs. The larger space, with its high thatched ceiling, wooden flooring and well-equipped bar, offers stunning views of the river and the national park, making it an ideal spot for birdwatching or scanning the banks for wildlife. The smaller verandah overlooks meticulously tended farmland, providing a perfect setting for al fresco breakfasts.

Dedicated to working in harmony with the natural surrounds, the decision has been taken to not install fencing between the national park and the lodge, allowing the existing animal corridor to remain undisturbed. The lodge’s naturalists have identified over 57 species of birds in and around the lodge, so keep a lookout for these avian visitors during your stay.
