Overview
I had the opportunity to craft a unique private dining experience for Meghauli Serai, a Taj Safari, located in the heart of Chitwan National Park, Nepal. This project focused on creating tailored dining events for discerning guests, offering them luxurious, immersive culinary experiences in stunning, secluded locations.
The Problem
The challenge was to design an exclusive dining experience that not only met the luxury standards of the Taj brand but also aligned with the serene and wild atmosphere of the Chitwan National Park. Each dining event needed to be both personalized and extraordinary, ensuring it felt special and unforgettable for the guests.
Goals
Create exclusive and immersive private dining experiences in breathtaking, secluded locations.
- Ensure the menu and dining setting align with the lodge’s prestigious brand image while reflecting the local culture.
- Provide guests with a luxurious, memorable dining experience that stands out as a unique part of their stay.
Design Process
Conceptualization: Collaborated with the team to conceptualize unique dining themes, like romantic dinners under the stars, Tharu Cultural Dinner by 101 lamps, and jungle dining experiences. Each setting was designed to be intimate and harmonized with the surrounding nature.
Menu Collaboration: Worked closely with the chefs to create a menu that complemented the dining experience, combining local flavors with luxurious culinary techniques.
Design: Developed visual concepts for menus and décor that enhanced the exclusivity and luxury of the experience while incorporating local cultural elements to stay true to the heritage of the region.
Feedback & Refinement: Gathered feedback from the lodge management and guests, ensuring each event was tailored to the guests’ preferences and offered a unique, memorable experience.
Final Execution: Successfully delivered a series of dining events that exceeded guest expectations while maintaining the high standards of the Taj brand.
