An unforgettable jungle experience with wonderful hosts and deep connection to nature.
Pros:

A truly special place in the jungle

When we arrived, it felt like stepping into the world of The Jungle Book. And when we left, we carried with us a heart full of images, moments and the feeling that we had taken a few steps into a world full of wonder and mystery.

The guided jungle safari was an extraordinary experience. At one point we even followed the tracks of a tiger on foot, while Bishnu quietly and attentively shared his deep knowledge about the jungle, its animals, plants and the people who live here. Experiencing the forest this close and in such a respectful way was unforgettable.

The lodge is beautifully set in the middle of nature. We slept deeply, surrounded by the sounds of the jungle, and felt truly recharged. Bishnu and his family welcomed us with such warmth and kindness that we immediately felt at home.

The food, lovingly prepared with ingredients from the garden and the surrounding nature, was wonderful.

Thank you, dear Bishnu, for opening the door to this fascinating world. Something from this place will stay with us, and we will often remember it with gratitude and respect.

We hope to return one day.

Home away from home
Pros:

Everything. The family is the most genuine, kind and enthusiastic you could never meet. Each member is a ray of light. Vishnu is extremely passionate about his work and it was awesome to go trekking with him. I believe it's not only about the experience itself but mainly about who you share it with and we are very grateful to have done it with him.
Saru cooks delicious meals and is very flexible and friendly.
The rooms are clean, spacious and bright. The bed is comfy and you can sleep like a baby. The place is very peaceful and we loved the surroundings.
The family puts a lot of effort into having a pleasant environment where life is more than enjoyable and it makes a difference.

Pros:

La rencontre merveilleuse avec cette famille, l'environnement paisible, la nourriture, et surtout les activités proposées par Bishnu en forêt.

Cons:

Des petits détails : avoir un drap aurait été mieux. Il manque un système pour évacuer l'eau de la salle de bain après la douche

Pros:

Une immersion totale dans la jungle. Un séjour authentique et proche de la nature. L'accueil incroyable de gentillesse, la connaissance de la jungle de Bishnu. Les repas excellents ! Nous avons passé un séjour qui restera longtemps gravé dans nos mémoires. Un immense merci à Bishnu et sa famille 🥰

Cons:

Bishnu construit 4 nouvelles chambres toutes neuves qui seront bien mieux équipées que les actuelles. Je recommande cet hôtel qui est le meilleur de Chitwan !

Great family stay in a village near the jungle
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay, peace and quiet in the bosom of nature - we highly recommend it as a break from crowded cities. You can experience a bit of village life. The owners are very nice, they will gladly tell you about life here - Bishnu is a great jungle guide, organizer and cook! We could rely on him.
We highly recommend it :)

Cons:

As in other comments - basic standard of stay, but good food and atmosphere instead :)

Amazing experience with amazing host
Pros:

Chital Lodge is perfectly located next to Chitwan National Park, where we were able to walk in to the park for our walking safari during our stay. The yard and dining area is cozy where we spent some of our evenings eating delicious Momos from the kitchen. Our most valuable memory from Chital lodge is the walking safari hosted by stay owner Bishnu, who is knowledgeable walking in Chitwan since a kid, where he took us in to the national park on foot teaching us a lot about the nature, the area and the animals. It was truely a once in a lifetime experience! Learning about Chitwan and Nepal walking through the beautiful terrain and seeing the animals that day! Rooms are bare and for us wanting the experience by the nature was really value for money. Could not recommend enough!! Thank you to Bishnu and your family!

Cons:

Nothing, great value for money

Wonderful
Pros:

Wonderful stay at Chital Lodge
Bishnu and his family welcomed us in the best fashion.
We enjoyed a 3 days safari including jeep tour, boat tour and walk tour. Bishnu and his friends are very good at spotting animals and we have been able to observe beautiful birds, rhinos and their babies, blackfaced monkeys, dears…
Unfortunately, we run out of luck to see the tiger but they are so difficult to spot. Maybe next time ?
We had the opportunity to get food from Bishnu’s wife (at the lodge but also on the go during safari) and it was very good
Finally, we had the chance to experience a celebration with friends during the first evening. It was very special and meaningful for us.
We fully recommand staying at Chital Lodge and doing safari with Bishnu !
It wasn’t only a safari but kind of a therapy and cultural sharing !

Bishnu and Saoru are perfect hosts and take care of your every need.
Pros:

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.

Cons:

Everything was perfect.
