Machan Wildlife Resort is located in the Sal forest of the Chitwan in the beautiful valley of the Rapti river. The forest also has broad grassland which sweeps north to the Mahabharata range and virgin jungle extends south to the Churia hills.

The accommodation at Machan Wildlife Resort is in timber-framed bungalows having private bathrooms providing modern toilet amenities. To blend with the environment, lighting is by kerosene lanterns which is placed outside the guest rooms at sundown. The main building with the dining room and bar and the pathway to the rooms are lighted by electric bulbs, and the power comes from a generator. The paintings on the walls and the curtains are of Nepal’s Mithila art and culture.
