We stayed at the jungle lodge for 3 nights, and we loved every minute there. My 11 year old daughter keeps asking when we can go back. The cabins are old and rustic, and yes the electricity is limited. How wonderful to be off the grid! We were able to keep our camera batteries charged, and really it was great... More

We knew we'd have no power, though recharging was available a couple of times a day. The lodges were comfortable, good beds and excellent showers. Good range of activities, jeep safari, elephant safari, bird-watching and nature walks, bathing with elephants. Guides were personable, attentive, and knowledgable (20+ years experience for many) and were able to take us to good sights....troops... More

This place was an oasis of calm after Kathmandu. It is really well organised, enough time for activities and relaxing. Rooms are simple but well done and the elephant bathing is a real highlight. Tips are to take a torch as there is no electricity at certain times and if you like bird watching your own binoculars. If you are... More

We stayed at Chitwan Jungle Lodge for two nights as part of a two week tour of Nepal. The problem for me was that the accommodation was not correctly described by the tour company that we booked through, hence the "What a Shock" title to my review. Having stayed at "Lodges" whilst on safari in Kenya, I was expecting something... More

We picked this lodge out based on other recommendations. We didn't know what to expect but went away very happy. The director of the lodge spoke perfect english and was very courteous. Activities were well planned and kept things moving along to keep us busy. We saw many different animals and enjoyed the scenery. The rooms were simple and clean.... More

We stayed there 2 nights and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere set by the skilled and top service minded staff. Went for elephant safari, elefant bathing, birdwatching, jeep safari etc. The rinos and crocodiles lives right outside your window. The nature is fantastic and the staff does everything to make you feel so well. The rooms are a little old ....... More

On arrival there was no introduction no welcome, no orientation. The "manager" didn't greet us or even ask our names. Instead he informed us that there was no electricity (not correct there is limited power at specified times) and that activities started promptly (bootcamp style we discovered later, with a bell ringing) . He then demanded  payment  in full immediately for... More

We bought a three day / two night package from Pokhara to Chitwan Jungle Lodge. The lodge itself is somewhat rustic and fits in the surrounding nature. Guides were very helpful and did their best to try to show us as much animals as possible (although we didn't end up seeing very much). Food was ok. Nothing special but at... More

It was March 2012 and we spend 3 amazing, awesome and restful nights. The main lodge, with the dining room and outside lounge area is complement by... More

I have never stayed in the jungle before so for me this was a totally new experience. This lodge is located in the heart of the nature reserve - it takes an hour by jeep to get there from the pick-up point. Rooms and bathrooms are very basic but they are clean and bug-free. Hot water was a bit iffy... More
