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

I will try to keep it short, but that will be difficult, because our stay here was so amazing and there are a lot of aspects which made it so great. - Employees; everyone who works there is so kind and helpful. You feel that they love working there, it really shows. They are genuine and make you feel like they want you there and are happy to work with you. The two lovely ladies in the restaurant were an absolute joy to see three times a day. Also our guide and driver were super kind, we just loved spending time with them and felt very safe around them. - The lodge itself: really so so beautiful. This is how I imagine paradise looks like. So peaceful, green and beautiful. In pictures it looks great, but in real life it’s just special! Also the house cat who just had a kitten a few days before we came, it’s all very in touch with nature. We stayed in the bungalow room which was amazing. From the lodge you can see their elephants grazing in the grass, it’s just wow! - Ethical approach to the elephants; the elephants are just magical animals, so smart and beautiful. The way the lodge works with them is just how it should be everywhere. No elephant riding and no elephant abuse, just harmony and love between elephant and human. We booked via their website, and emailed them to ask for the packages. We went with the four days, three nights package and really enjoyed this. We had a jungle canoeing, jungle walk, jeep safari, elephant bush walk and breakfast, tharu village walk, tharu dance evening, massage, bird watching and candle light dinner with elephant views. Really we enjoyed our stay here so much. Even in the rain season, which was July, we really could enjoy our time here. Sometimes it would rain, but we would adjust our itinerary, and normally only rain early morning, night and sometimes very short during afternoon.

It was a very special and beautiful stay there. The idea behind Sapana (e.g. charity), the sustainable aspects (e.g. no plastic), the beautiful houses and rooms and the awesome service/people are a special experience. We also did a walking and a jeep safari and it ist totally worth it. The jungle is so amazing and we had the best guide Hemanta!

The property is aesthetically pleasing, featuring expansive green areas, lush fields, and a designated bathing area for elephants. It serves as a sanctuary for elephant rehabilitation, providing a nurturing environment and proper nutrition to the elephants. The staff demonstrates exceptional care, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for visitors.

Everything at Sapana was exceptional. From the welcoming, sweet, helpful, friendly staff to the delicious food, the amazing programs with knowledgeable guides, the beautifully appointed rooms and gorgeous grounds. We can’t recommend Sapana enough and would come back any time.

From the very first impression and our warm welcome on arrival, to the last moments before departure, we were delighted by Sapana Village Lodge. It is in a beautiful setting, the staff were attentive and polite and the range of activities available was outstanding and good value for money. The food in the restaurant was also of high quality and varied. We had an expert guide on our canoe and jungle tour who was knowledgeable and respectful of nature and the animals. You are not guaranteed to see all of the animals on the list, but you will have a wonderful time just being in the wild, and we were lucky enough to see rhinos, elephants, crocodiles, monkeys and lots of different birds and butterflies. The owner has a created special destination that also contributes to the local community and is truly inspiring.
