Musa Jungle Retreat

We had a very enjoyable visit to Musa. The chalets are simple but comfortable and have all the required amenities. We had a 'Grazing Rhino' chalet and from our verandah on our first day there, we did indeed see a female rhino and her calf about 500m away, in the national park. There is a good choice of cuisines on the menu, local and international, and the food and service were fully to our satisfaction. Musa is very close to the entrance gate to the main part of the national park (where we did three our of our four game drives) but the Eastern Range gate is 45-60 minutes away by road. The birdlife in the Lodge's gardens was delightful. I happily recommend Musa JR to fellow travellers.

Nice comfortable place and perhaps one of the better places to stay at Manas National Park. Not luxurious but reasonable sized rooms, neat clean linen, clean bathrooms. Very well maintained garden. You wake up with peacock calls and chirpy birds. Very near to the park entry gate. Veg food was reasonably good. Restaurant service ends before 10PM, probably as there were not many occupied guest rooms. All in all a simple and good place to stay.

Love the hospitality and service. Rooms were clean and spacious, it also has a garden view. Breakfast was delicious and was included within our package. It's a good location and Manas National Park is like 500meters from here. One can also go for a walk on the lawn, which is beautiful. Overall, love the experience.

The first time I stayed in Musa was in April 2022 and the stay - room, ambience, food was so perfect that I extended by stay and any time I want to escape the hullabaloo of city, I try to go there. The adventure and animal sightings at Manas National Park has also been very good. This year in April, I felt the food taste has come down. But the service, friendliness of staff and the peace one feels in Musa with bird calls and general ambience is very much intact. Hope they go back to the taste they had served in all my earlier visits.

Excellent location near walking distance of Bansberia range gate of Manas National Park. There are 20 cottages and those are spacious and maintained. Maybe quite a bit more expensive than the resorts in the surroundings but excellent service and rooms. Animals like elephant, rhino and Gaur comes regularly opposite to the resort but due to tall grass not visible from cottages. You need to get up on first floor where the restaurant is to get a clear view. Only jarring part was food was expensive and the rates charges were not standard (charged more than printed menu cards) plus 18% GST. Food quality was ok. We tried local cuisine like bamboo shoots and Chicken onla. Safaries can be arranged by the resort with prior notice to both Bansberia (more mammals sighting) and Bhuyiapara (bird sighting including Bengal Frorican). Overall a great stay with excellent staff behaviour, both frontdesk as well as housekeeping/room service staff

Charming place, nice comfortable rooms, good staff, helpful and efficient but the food needs to be better, more balanced with local flavours, the menu is too generic and overdone, overcooked, over flavoured, the chef needs to be better trained.
