Diphlu River Lodge

★★★★★

Diphlu River Lodge sits on the bank of the Diphlu, a small river that marks the southern edge of Kaziranga, opposite the park. The cottages are built on stilts, in bamboo, cane and thatch, in the local way. Each has a private deck looking over the river or the forest. They are simple and well made, with no televisions, and the sound at night is the water and the birds. It is a small lodge, run on eco-friendly lines, and it is the property the British royal visit chose in 2016. The park's Central Range gate is a short drive, and the lodge arranges every safari, with naturalists who know the animals. It is the best stay at Kaziranga, and it books out well ahead in season.

The same build, set back among the trees, with forest rather than river outside the deck. A little more private, and good for light sleepers away from the water.
