I can only highly recommend Rainbow Safari. The owner is lovely and helpful. The tours arranged and the guides organised are just fantastic. The food was great and the setting is lovely. The only issue were the showers, they were very cold! But it didn't dampen the great time we had! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

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?.

Best place to stay in Sauraha

Reviewed By KajJensen

The new Rhino Land Jungle Lodge is a Luxorious Hotel in the heart of Sauraha (close to the river). As Tour Guides, this is our absolute favorite pick in Sauraha. The rooms are spaceous, and the quality exceeds anything that we have tried in Sauraha (during more than 20 years visiting and living in Nepal, we have tried quite a lot). Especially the bed's are super soft, and the hotel is - although centrally located - in a quiet and naturally beautiful spot, where you can get perfect rest between the daily activities. The room contained TV and mini-bar, and of course also AC and a spacious wardrobe. The toilet is spacious as well and shower facilities worked perfectly. The food is also in a class for itself in Sauraha. The menu card contains a rich variety of food, and the kitchen is top-notch. Hotel staff are very service minded, and will help you to feel at home and relax. For your jungle safari etc. they have a very experienced tour guide, which is the main factor to get a chance to see the Tiger. If you are looking for a luxorious and comfortable adventure, where everything is cared for, I recommend this hotel for you.
