I want to first start with the good stuff! The lodge is very nice, rooms were comfortable, food was great, service was great and the staff was super friendly and helpful! I would give 5 stars to that and I totally recommend Manuri as a lodge to stay! One complain that I have is that they really do not do... More

We were booked into this lodge by a comprehensive travel service in Kathmandu. ALL activities were pre-arranged and pre-paid: air fare from Kathmandu, hotel, all meals, canoe trip, ox cart, vans, jeep, elephants, hikes, guides, park fees, etc. – strongly recommend this approach, to avoid misunderstandings. The only “extras” were beverages, souvenirs, and tips. Excluding the reasonable Buddha airfare, the... More

Travelling around Nepal, staying in so-called 'five-star' hotels... now, this is a real one, because it doesn't pretend to be one and yet offers you an unforgettable experience. The manager is so concerned about the habitat of the wild animals and the people living with them that without you being aware of it, you are taken into an exceptional atmosphere... More

The schedule runs on its own time. Although we were given a schedule by our agent, the manager seems to have his own time for activities. I guess it's the jungle time. Clear with the manager about your programs, you could be waiting for a while before it begins. The lodge staff tries to make an effort. Good food and... More

After experiencing the over hyped wildlife of the Corbett in India, with sweltering heat and over charged hospitality. Chitwan National Park is a haven in the wildlife circuit of South Asia. First and foremost, the weather is charming in October, the hotel we stayed in Maruni Sanctuary Lodge provided excellent hospitality for half the price than India. Having stayed in... More

I almost never write reviews because I’m aware that not all stays will be perfect and at times hotels can be very busy but if you stay at the “Maruni Sanctuary Lodge” you can only blame yourself for an unpleasant experience. I have been traveling on my vacation “holiday” from Thailand, Cambodia, and India before making my way to Nepal.... More

Arriving into the lodge through a local Tharu village was a seen from the British Raj times. This lodge tucked away into the jungles and the two villages is just a perfect setting if one is specially interested in nature and wildlife. Great food and clean rooms with good size bathroom. A must if you are a nature lover. More

Although not it the regular program, but a bit pricey the jeep safari is perfect. Although the jeep that are used are over a decade old, but the ride into a d through the jungle is just amazing. Saw a TIGER, and everything else is history. The staff were great and the food amazing, they even have chilled beer. Since... More

The Staff were fantastic but they seem have more knowledge of the guest than the Jungle. New resort but I guess it will come with time. Fantastic restaurant and air conditioned too. Great Buffet but breakfast could be better. Rooms are comfortable but can get moisty, if you are going in monsoon due to humidity. More
