Sapana Village Lodge

搞得很不愉快 攜程價和到店付不一樣 雖然攜程補了差價 但我還是感覺就坑咱們自己人 店子裏的租車啥的也很貴 位置也不是很好

Friendly caring staff, best shower in Nepal, beautiful surroundings. I was lucky enough to be able to book the personalised bungalow which was well appointed. The outlook for breakfast was stunning especially when lucky enough to watch the elephants being taken for a walk and bath. I highly recommend if you go to Chitwan. Stay here

Sapana village is a little piece of paradise on earth! We stayed five nights and we absolutely loved it - food is among the best we had during our months in Nepal, the owner and staff are incredibly friendly and being able to watch elephants and Rhinos from the hotel terrace was surreal! We booked a canoe and walking tour, jeep safari and during our jungle night stay we even saw a tiger! The gardens are gorgeous and there are a plethora of nice nooks, swings, and benches to spent time while enjoying the birds and plants. We can recommend Sapana village to anyone.

But unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. The restaurant service was incredibly slow every meal took at least an hour to arrive, which was frustrating, especially after a long day. The food was decent, but definitely not worth the wait. The room had several issues. There were no towels in the bathroom when we arrived, and we had to ask multiple times before finally getting some. The heater didn’t work, and frequent electricity cut-offs at night made it even worse. The hot water was barely warm, making showers uncomfortable. Sleeping was also a challenge due to the constant barking of dogs throughout the night. It was impossible to get a full night’s rest. To top it all off, the lodge overcharges for activities. I later discovered that you can book the exact same experiences nearby for a fraction of the price almost four times cheaper! For the amount they charge, I expected much better service and functioning amenities. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Sapana Lodge is a stunning and peaceful place to stay, taken care of very well and modern. Looking for a Chitwan package that was ethical and truly animal friendly, I'm happy I found this place. I enjoyed learning of all the beautiful projects they created and contribute to, including Women's Development, elephant sanctuary, local schooling and housing and more, which makes the place and the experience a lot more special. The staff and guides are all really lovely, and each experience unique. Dhruba made sure I was always comfortable and Dinesh Giri naturalist taught me a lot about Nepal, the culture, nature and more. The food was great and the room clean and comfy, I felt like a princess at all times. I will return🙏🏼😊💚

Of my travels to Nepal, and travel in general, Sapana Village Lodge remains one of the best places I have stayed. Located just outside Sauraha, the lodge is beautifully set amidst rice fields and banana trees. The lodge is built in the style of traditional Tharu houses and blends in perfectly with the surroundings. The rooms are comfortable, spacious and beautifully decorated. The restaurant serves delicious local and international cuisine and has a terrace overlooking a tributary of the Rapti River, the fields and the lovely garden. The Annapurna range can be seen in the distance. There is also a fireplace where you can sit and watch the flames or socialise with other guests. The lodge is run by local management and staff - all very knowledgeable, service-oriented and friendly. They can advise you on activities and arrange them for you. Not the mass tourism kind, but with the eco-tourism touch that is typical of Sapana Village Lodge. Another aspect that makes the lodge very special is that most of the profits are used for projects that support the local Tharu communities. It makes you feel good to know that your money is helping to fund a school for the poorest children and medical facilities.
