Отель Chital lodge, Читван, Непал

Bishnu and Saoru manage a wonderful homestead site with several units for guests. They are now the caretakers of the site that Bishnu's father originally built in the 1980s. It has amazing charm and is located immediately next to Chitwan National Park. You can do multiple types of safari tours and are guaranteed to see lots of wildlife. The food the family prepares is amazing, and they will help you with any arrangements you need. Highly recommended.

The main attraction is Vishnu, who own the place with is wife. I had a great walk safari with him and the place and food was really good.

When you come to Chitwan, your main purpose is to see the animals. Bishnu is the best for this purpose you can find in the area. He has been in the jungle since his very early years, he knows Chitwan better than I know my neighborhood. Plus he is an excellent manager and tries to do everything for you way and beyond. The food his wife is cooking is the best we ate in Nepal, since it's true home cooking. They are all very attentive to your needs. And we fulfilled the purpose: all kinds of deers, monkeys, birds, crocodile and the close encounter with the rhino! What we also liked is the location. It's the other part of Chitwan, far from the crowds and touts. The facilities are very simple, but it's expected. You have very comfortable beds with mosquito nets and hot water.

Bishnu (the owner) is absolutely wonderful!! His tours are fantastic!! The walking tour into the jungle is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever experienced! Also I did the Jeep safari with him and it was incredible! I saw at least 20 rhinos during me time there, wild bison, so many different types of deer and monkeys and so many other birds and things. He is so knowledgeable about the plants and the jungle and history of the area! We also talked about how healthy mud huts are. The lodge itself consists of these quant huts with lovely porches where you can read. Mosquito nets over the bed but there seemed to be less mosquitoes here than in Pokhara. I stayed here 4-5 days! It was wonderful!!

My stay in Chital Lodge in Megahauli, hosted by Bishnu and Saoru, was fantastic. Although I enjoyed my walking safaris near Sauraha as well, I do wish I had spent all my time here near Megahauli. Less known and less touristic, beautiful and just as wildlife-rich area of the national park. The safaris are guided by the host Bishnu who clearly lives and breaths the natural world of Chitwan. Bishnu and Manoj were amazing and knowledgeable guides who put up with monsoonal rain, heat, and bugs to help us see many rhinos, monitor lizards, great hornbills, and, lucky enough, even a bengal tiger. And way more. And as a huge plus, Saoru is another very kind host and a wonderful cook. The food was always delicious. The lodge is clean and pleasant, I added an extra night just to relax there. If I return to Nepal, Chital Lodge will be a place I revisit. Grateful to have found this beautiful gem.
