I was really thrilled with my experience at Chitwan Village Resort and it has been the highlight of my stay in Nepal. The staff was so helpful, offers pickup from the bus station, and made it so that I didn't have to worry about a thing while I was there. I was really impressed by just how helpful and genuinely caring the staff was. I booked a safari through the hotel with canoe ride, jungle walk, jeep safari and Tharu cultural program, and I felt it was a great value and I wasn't at all being taken advantage of. I recommend booking with them and particularly recommend the canoe ride and Tharu cultural program. My guide through the hotel was really kind and I very much enjoyed talking with him throughout the day. I also found the location of this hotel to be really nice, situated next to a rice paddy with two elephants kept next door. It was very cool to be among the local farms even in the tourist city of Sauraha, and it's a close walk to the main row of restaurants and shops.
