hollong forest lodge?

tacita

if you have any first-hand (or even second- or third-hand) accounts of staying at the hollong forest lodge inside the jaldhapara wildlife sanctuary, i'd be interested to hear them.

i read in some now-dated posts about other accommodations in the area, but i am booked at hollong and would like to know a bit more (beyond what's in the LP and other guides) about what to expect, including the safety of the food, which i understand to be included mandatorily. (presumably, this will not mean i shall be force-fed!)

an FYI: i wound up booking this through a tour company i'm using for some private car arrangements, as it proved impossible to reserve any other way. in addition, hollong requires payment in advance. the tour company is not requiring that of me, but i will obviously honor any valid expenditures they make on my behalf.

thank you, ananda, for the link. it seems there are many virtual and guidebook descriptions, and no personal experiences i've been able to track down. (i guess i'll have to be sure to postr about it when i've returned.) i'm hoping they have plenty of blankets! brrrrrrrr.....

Hi

I visited Hollong just a week ago. Food is safe and good. The view is great and we saw rhinos, wild elephants, sambar dears from our window. There are now air condition but they have mosquito net so sleep with windows open and listen to the jungle.
