Sanctuary Chitwan National Park

Great resort on the river facing the sanctuary. Fabulously friendly and engaging staff. We were upgraded to a magnificent suite. Jungle safari was very special

Don’t underestimate the travel times from Bharatpur.

Truly a Sanctuary. Top notch, super comfy rooms (and trust us - we did a comprehensive research across all Chitwan hotels) and well maintained facilities. Can't emphasize enough how happy we were us to be able to take a very comfortable shower after full day of jungle activities. Jeep safari, River safari, Jungle walks were all amazing experiences - especially the Jeep safari! On one full day safari, we were able to see 20+ rhinos, countless deers and peacocks and langur, the famous wilf elephant Dhurbe, a sloth bear, and even a tiger from a distance! Our guide Roshan has sharp eyes and went out of the way to look for animals that we wished to see - we saw many animals that we wouldn’t have been able to spot without him. Food was also top notch (beat 90% of resort food almost everywhere) - amazing fried rice and love breakfast that was different everyday! The sundowner watching rhinos from afar was also an unforgettable experience. Thank Sanctuary Chitwan team for taking great care of us. We will definitely revisit if we are back in the region to see more rhinos! Meanwhile, highly recommend Sanctuary to anyone who is visiting Chitwan :)

The ultimate place to relax and safari. I stayed here for three days / nights after 10 hectic days in Kathmandu and it was so lovely. From the minute you arrive to the minute you depart you are very well looked after by all the staff at the hotel. I stayed in a villa which was incredibly spacious and great value for money. The safari was great, I did a full day and half day with Tulsi as my guide who was extremely knowledgable. On the safari we saw Rhinos very close up to the Jeep, monkeys, and elephants. Highly recommended having a couple of hours relaxing by the pool when you arrive to really get you in the zone. Great place to stay and would recommend to anyone.

Nothing. Very enjoyable stay

We were thoroughly impressed by every aspect of The Sanctuary. The resort is a peaceful retreat with stunning, well-kept grounds and cozy rooms that are even more beautiful in person than in the photos. The amazing breakfast each morning set the stage for a day of adventure, including a safari that was one of our best experiences ever—we saw rhinos, elephants, monkeys, a leopard, and nearly a tiger. The tours were well-organized, and the professional, attentive staff clearly care about supporting the local community. All in all, the exceptional value for money and seamless blend of comfort and adventure made our stay unforgettable.

The only slight challenge was getting to the resort, but the hotel-arranged driver made it much easier and well worth it!

Beautiful setting, very helpful staff

Nothing

We are a family of 4 and we stayed at the Sanctuary for Christmas Eve and Christmas, and it was truly magical. The atmosphere was beautiful, and every detail made our holiday memorable. We also went on a safari tour organized by the hotel, and it exceeded all expectations. The organization was flawless, and our guide was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend this incredible experience!

My husband and I had an exceptional stay at this beautiful cottage right beside the Chitwan National Park. The cottage was built with attention to detail and using noble materials. It's beautifully maintained, and blended perfectly with the natural surroundings. The staff were incredibly hospitable, ensuring every aspect of our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Waking up to the sights and sounds of the jungle was an unforgettable experience, making this stay a perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. Tulsi, our host and safari guide, was fantastic—his deep knowledge, friendliness, and professionalism truly enhanced our experience. Seeing rhinos up close was a once-in-a-lifetime moment we’ll never forget. The food was delightful, and the one-day safari tour was simply breathtaking. The location was truly serene, offering stunning views and the soothing sounds of nature all around. Highly recommended for anyone looking to reconnect with nature!

Nothing, this was a perfect stay for us as a couple :). We only stayed for two nights and we wished we could have stayed more!
