Chitwan Park Village

Location: Centrally situated near the town, riverside, and major attractions .

We had to include the Jungle Tower in our Chitwan National Park plans and I was greeted by Ranjan upon my inquiry. He was as responsive as he could be to my every question and change of plan. Ranjan arranged everything for us during our 3-day stay, including our trip to the Elephant reserve, drive and tour of a small village and trip to a cultural performance. He facilitated a full day of touring on a jeep, picked us up for lunch, then sent us off with sack dinners into the capable hands of Depok, our jungle guide. We canoed to our Tower in the Jungle, seeing birds, crocodiles and water buffalo. After walking to our Jungle Tower, we saw a pair of rhinos, apparently mating. Depok was a lovely, heart-filled and knowledgeable guide, making our Tower experience remarkable. After walking back during the sunrise, Ranjan picked us up and fed us one more delicious and huge meal before taking us to our bus. I would highly recommend a stay at Hotel Chitwan Park Village - the food was delicious and plentiful and we felt very well cared for by Ranjan.

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights as part of a package tour and it is by far the worst hotel experience we have ever had. We had a significant amount of money stolen from our room twice by staff. The hotel manager pretended to help but was completely useless and stopped replying to messages/calls as soon as he could. To add to this one evening, the staff were too drunk to cook us dinner (that was included in our package)! We were left with a small plate of half cooked momos. Otherwise, the rooms are not clean and the bathrooms smelt very musty. Do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else!!
