After long travel in the Terai, this place is a surprising godsend. The old rooms are so-so, but the renovated rooms are top-notch, with modern furnishings, nice baths and satellite TV: you will stand there blinking. It feels calm and relaxed – just what you need in hectic Birganj – and there’s a good Indian restaurant. Book ahead.
