Incredible stay and special in my heart
We stayed in the lodge as a belated birthday present for my boyfriend and the staff went above and beyond. They baked and decorated him a cake and even brought out the elephants so he could feed them fruit and elephant sandwiches. This place will be a special place in my heart because as a double surprise, my boyfriend actually proposed to me on the first night during the elephant sundowners and it was incredible. We had the place to ourselves and Sam our tour guide looked after us so well and helped create magical memories. The food is amazing and tastes so lovely and all the staff are very friendly and polite. They let us stay late in their main hub to use their Wi-Fi to call back home to tell them our engagement news until the late hours. My fiancée particularly liked the hammocks and chilling by the pool to top off the stay.
We went on a jeep safari which was very good but seriously expensive, it was $135 each for just a half a day and I’ve been on a few safaris before this was ridiculously expensive- the safari is no different to others where I have paid much cheaper for a full day and it included lunch so this was a rip off. Although the elephants are treated well, when you visit them to make elephant sandwiches and say hello, you can see that they are kept in small spaces and this was hard too see as I love elephants which is why we picked this lodge as we were against the elephant trekking!

Exceptional
Everything, perfect location with every opportunity to do just what we wanted re. safaris. All the staff, in whatever area they were involved in, were excellent. The food was outstanding and their elephant camp is certainly worth visiting as well. We would not hesitate in recommending this wonderful place.

worth the trip.
cosy, very cute and they did communal dining very well. food was delicious and they made sure my dietary requirements were met.
USD prices. the USD is much stronger than the AUD, so everything was 25% more expensive for me

Wonderful staff and so much wildlife to explore
We initially booked a tent but because the lodge was so quiet we got upgraded to a very nice room instead. The staff are wonderful and friendly and the guides are very knowledgeable. Being so close to elephants is a once in a lifetime experience and you get very close! there are complimentary activities included like kuchi making and feeding and also walking with the mahouts to cut and collect grass - these were our favourite activities along with the jeep safari where we saw a tonne of rhinos, birds and monkeys.
The website makes the elephant camp sound like it will be outside your window (spoiler - its not! its just a short walk down the road) The food is very...well...ho hum. Its not bad, its just western food and i wish it wasn't. Nepali food is delicious and I think the offerings could have been a lot more diverse. The lodge is on the expensive side but hey, when are you ever gonna hang out with with 8 elephants that close?

Incredible experience in the Chitwan
Beautiful setting and amazing experience in the Chitwan. Very hospitable team. The safari tents are super comfortable and great outdoor shower!
Perhaps that the activities were on top of room rate but it all goes towards supporting the elephants so it's all good.

Delighted by Nepalese staff, disappointed by everything else
The food and the service was great!!! There was one set menu per meal, and it was very tasty food. We also really enjoyed meeting the other people staying at the lodge.
We booked the tent - and were very excited about that- and arrived to find out we had to stay in a main room, which was pretty boring of a space and had black mold on the ceiling. One of our neighbors had a rat living in their room. We also chose this lodge because we thought it reflected responsible travel…that the elephants roam free (they do not, they have handlers that include utilizing sticks and chains around the elephant’s necks- even during “jungle walk”) and social responsible practices are used. A few things really bothered me with this last part- for example, the same staff who served breakfast at 6:30 -8 am, also served lunch 11-2, and dinner 7-9…and they’d be around before and afterwards….so it made me wonder what time they have off. They also had two white women as staff there - they had the Nepalese staff wait on them like they were guests and these staff did not have to wear a uniform like the Nepalese staff. I’ve worked in other countries where there were foreign and local staff, and this is definitely not an equitable practice. I guess this was particularly bothersome because of how kind, warm, generous and welcoming the Nepalese staff were - and in contrast to how rude, unprofessional these two other women were. I think it also bothered me enough to write this in a summary, because I was REALLY looking forward to this stay and to see the practices they market in play. Especially for the money it costs. One of the things that drew me to this location over other higher priced locations (that likely had much more luxurious accommodations), was the lodge’s involvement with the community….but as far as I could see while there- there wasn’t much of that. The lodge did all of the tours. There were no community walks or cultural shows (as did other lodges - which usually is another way of including communities in benefiting from tourist money). All of the tours were through the lodge and very set. After 1.5 days, we had done 3 out of 4 activities.
