3-Day All Inclusive Chitwan Jungle Safari Tour From Kathmandu

Chitwan was great, this experience was not. We would have been better off just going to Chitwan and figuring it out from there. For starters, there was miscommunication on where we were staying at. The info provided said we were staying at a different hotel which then made pick up difficult. The first day the hotel manager walked us around the elephant stable and river and clearly didn’t know anything about the elephants. Second day we had an actual guide for the river tour which was great. But after that was over there was no ride to pick us up and we had to hitch hike back to the hotel. Later in the afternoon we did a jeep safari. Our jeep was full of local families and their crying children scaring away any animals. The guide also barely spoke English, which is an issue as I clearly stated I’m english speaker. The last day we were told to be up at 7am for the bus, but our bus didn’t pick us up until 8:15am creating a logistic nightmare on the back end.

The trip was amazing, from beginning to end. They picked me up at the bus station and made sure I was comfortable during my stay at the Seven Star Hotel. My room was comfortable...with all the amenities, plus the food was delicious -- the manager Ramesh Prasai went above and beyond to make sure my stay was nothing short of perfect. Immediately after my arrival, I was greeted by my guide Arun -- he was very professional, friendly and accomodating. He is a Chitwan native and well versed in the local flora & fauna. Arun took me sightseeing and took care of all the safari logistics. To sweeten up the deal, he also arranged a local cuisine dinner.

Himalayan Recreation provided a guide to get me to the bus stop for my trip to Chitwan. The hotel they lined up was a newer, more eco-friendly place that was very nice. Our guide was very informative and helpful. He spoke very good english.
