Banbas Resort, Chitwan

Loved my stay here. Very nicely run lodge— a great choice in the area that provides an upscale experience for a very reasonable amount. The staff were all lovely, the owner ever-present, making sure you’re having a great stay. But the stand-outs were the safari guides, who were so friendly and knowledgeable and worked very hard to ensure a great experience in the park. Saw tons of animals—so many rhinos!—but sadly no tigers, though the guides were super committed to trying to spot.

Most enchanting setting, vilas surrounded by nature just steps from entrance to Chitwan National Park. Greeted by Prakash the operation manager who treated us the friendliest smile, made us feel like we were the only guests.. excellent host. Vila was beautiful perfectly stocked w amenities and water, clean and very spacious and the balcony is right in nature next to a pond, the birds each morning were music to our ears. The restaurant has amazing Nepali, Indian and Chinese cuisine. Plus the breakfast is also excellent and the view from the second level makes it even better. Didn’t wanna leave the pool area for it’s surrounded by nature and has a soothing sound of a waterfall overlooking the pond. Each vila enjoys a lot of privacy due to the lush landscaping. Beautifully designed property and its staff is truly top notch. Will return next year!

Wonderful staff. Great guide provided for Park
