I recently spent two night at this resort and have to say that it was one of my worst travel experiences. We were taking for a boat ride in the river, which was pleasant and were expected to meet down the river bank with a set up picnic to view the sunset. When we arrived, there was no one there and were told that there was a slight delay and the set up would be done in five minutes. The five minutes turned into one hour and there was a “no show”. We stood at the bank like idiots while the rest of the customers from the other resorts enjoyed a relaxed sunset. I rang and tried to talk to the manger who had nothing but excuses to present which seemed to suggest that it was not their fault. Not only was he not helpful but also rude, impolite and lacked the basic communication skills to deal with a justifiably irate client. Upon return to the resort, I asked to meet the manager but he was conveniently absent. I categorically asked to speak with him, but he did not show up and even when we left the next morning he was no where to be found. I guess he did not think that it was worthwhile or necessary to personally explain and apologize to the client. I have never felt so taken for granted in my entire life. There was also no hot water in the room and when we had complained we were told that “perhaps we had turned the wrong nob” because there is constant “boiling” water in the property (we must be a bunch of idiots). They however promised to look into it and assured us of hot water but when we returned after the no show - “no hot water” (why am I not surprised). They then promised to look into the matter and at around 10:00 said they would send an electrician!!!! Two days no shower is not a fun way to experience a safari. On the positives, the support staff was friendly and genuinely welcoming , the food was good (nothing to rave about but good), the jungle safari was fun if you were willing to overlook the dilapidated condition of the vehicle, the room was simple but spacious but evident that they had not done a check to see if it was in good order before clients were hosted (power plugs not working, no batteries in the remote, not well aeriated etc). The entire set up lacked the “eye for details”. Over all very disappointed and would not recommend this resort to anyone who is looking for a relaxing, rejuvenating and stress free experience.

Chitwan Tiger Camp

Not as in photos

Reviewed By shilpaneel

As hotel was on the bank of river and now on river army has built short of wall so one side of flow is not there and became tar road and lots of hotels popped up. Room was cleaned. Staff is very friendly particularly Mr. Arjun. Unfortunately in the month of May 3rd May) it was raining very heavily. Breakfast has little choice but sufficient. Book your activities and forward bus journey by yourself only do not do it through hotel staff. In house restaurant has limited menu but food was very good and reasonable. Lots of nice hotels in the vicinity at same rate with better infra and facilities.

Jungle Safari Resort Chitwan

Reviewed By Seaside401746

I booked a last minute trip to the Jungle Safari Resort in Chitwan online while I was in Kathmandu. They responded within 24 hrs to confirm the availability and arrange bus transport the next day. The bus was easy and comfortable. The resort accommodations were very nice and the jungle lodge was also very comfortable. We took an evening walk into the jungle to find the lodge, dropped our bags and then took another hike around the preserve. My guide, Ram was knowledgeable and very kind and I felt very safe as a solo female. The canoe ride the next day was nice as well and we were able to see many birds, plants, crocodiles, and a rhino. I was not a huge fan of the elephant breeding center because the mothers were chained and it did not seem very humane. Lastly, I was a bit sick the second day of my stay and the staff were very kind and accommodating even offering to push my transport back to Kathmandu back if needed. I was glad I took this last minute trip!

Relaxing Stay

Reviewed By Jenny679

Welcoming staff, attentive service (my experience of breakfast) and comfortable /secure rooms. Rooms had mosquito nets, power outlets, television and most importantly a hot shower. Drinking water is provided on first night thereafter can be purchased from reception. Beds were a little hard but that’s the way in this area, extra duvets were provided if needed. Tika, the hotel manager was friendly and very helpful when our colleagues needed to change hotel to this one. We also booked a fantastic walking tour of Chitwan NP through the hotel and would definitely recommend. I don’t know the prices of other tours in the area but this was 4500 rupees (£30/$57aud) which includes park permit fees and a 4 hour guided walk - definitely worth it in my mind! If you leave the hotel early enough you’ll also be in with a chance of seeing a Rhino in the street! The only downside is that it was a 20 minute brisk walk to Hotel 7 Star where our conference was held - but if you don’t feel like walking the Gaida Lodge will arrange a car or tuktuk for you which won’t cost much at all.

Rhino Lodge & Hotel

Breakfast with a rhino

Reviewed By roryo513

One of the highlights of our month-long post-Covid trip to Nepal. Comfortable room, expansive east-facing garden garden with generous tables for sundowners, attentive staff, particularly Sugam. But all of this is secondary to the rhino who ambles through at breakfast, followed by the elephant at sundown who turns up for washing in the river. These beasts are used to people, but we were lucky to also have a rare wild elephant who burst in through the scrub just as the rhino was making making a second pass for the day. The rhino ran for cover. Highly recommended.

Best stay to experience the jungle in Nepal

Reviewed By gijshooghiemstra

Evergreen Ecolodge is a nice place in Sauraha, where you really experience the jungle. The staff is really nice, and Suraj would love to help you with everything. We booked a two day walking safari through the hotel and this was amazing! They work with some great guides and we were lucky to have two really nice guides, whom we would definitely recommend?. After the safari we booked one more night at Evergreen Ecolodge, because we loved the vibe and wanted to relax in the nice garden. The rooms and the bathroom is really nice and the place is very cheap. Finally the food and especially the Organic Coffee is very good?.
