Nepal's Wildest Adventure: Chitwan Resort Awaits!
Nepal's Wildest Adventure: Chitwan Resort Awaits! - A Frankly Honest Review (and a Plea for You to Visit!)
Okay, folks, buckle up, because I'm about to spill the beans on Chitwan Resort. This isn't your dry, corporate review. This is the real deal, the sweaty-palmed truth, seasoned with a healthy dose of "oh crap, did I pack enough sunscreen?" and a dash of "wow, that sunset was insane." Let's dive in, shall we? Because, honestly, if you're even thinking about Nepal, you need to consider this place.
Accessibility: Let's get the practical stuff outta the way first. Finding this place isn't Everest-level challenging. Airport transfer is a lifesaver, especially after a long flight. The website – honestly, I'd give it a C+, it could be better organized and more attractive for booking – but once you're there, things get much easier. Car park [free of charge] is a massive win, and they even have car power charging station! Nice touch. Accessibility is a bit tricky, and the website doesn't do a great job of highlighting details. I'd recommend directly contacting the resort to ask about specific needs.
On-site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges & Wheelchair Accessibility: Again, contact the resort beforehand. I couldn't determine this.
Internet, Internet, Everywhere! (Mostly)
Okay, the digital nomad in me needed to check this off. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! (and Wi-Fi in public areas) YES! Internet access, Internet [LAN] – they’ve got the tech covered. And the internet services are pretty solid. I managed to upload a few embarrassing selfies (you’ve been warned), video call my mom, and – most importantly – order extra momos. (Priorities, people!)
Cleanliness and Safety: They're Taking This Seriously!
This is HUGE, especially in today's world. I was pleasantly surprised. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, rooms sanitized between stays – they're on it. Hand sanitizer everywhere, staff trained in safety protocol, the works. It felt safe, and that's priceless. Cashless payment service is a definite plus. Safe dining setup and sanitized kitchen and tableware items. The only thing I didn't see? A dedicated "fear not, we'll protect you from everything" shield. But hey, maybe that's not a good thing. Ha!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food, Glorious Food! (And Seriously, Get the Momos)
Right, the good stuff. They've got restaurants, a snack bar, and a poolside bar. There’s 24-hour room service, which, let’s be honest, is a lifesaver when you're battling jet lag at 3 AM and suddenly NEED a plate of Asian cuisine in restaurant. Asian breakfast alongside western breakfast - and this includes A la carte in restaurant, buffet in restaurant. Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, my mouth is watering just thinking about it! I'm not a big fan of soup in restaurant or salad in restaurant but if you are, go for it! Also, you can find a vegetarian restaurant. Coffee shop. It's a must-visit. They also offer alternative meal arrangement which is pretty brilliant. The happy hour… well, let's just say I made some new friends.
Room to Roam (AKA, My Room Review)
Alright, the rooms. They're… comfortable. Not five-star-luxury-bling-bling, but clean, functional, and well-equipped. I was in a non-smoking room (thank heavens!). The air conditioning worked like a charm, which is essential in Chitwan’s heat. Free bottled water was a godsend!! Air conditioning, bathrobes, the blackout curtains (bliss after a long day), coffee/tea maker, desk (crucial for that urgent email, or, you know, binge-watching Netflix), extra long bed, hair dryer, in-room safe box, internet access - wireless, mirror, minibar (hello, late-night snacks!), private bathroom, refrigerator, satellite/cable channels, shower, slippers, smoke detector, sofa, telephone, towels, wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], window that opens. There's a complimentary tea service, and the daily housekeeping kept the place looking ship-shape. They even had slippers! It's the little things, right? I loved my seating area, and the reading light. The only down side? The views from my room were just okay, and the walls weren't completely soundproofed, so that's a minor gripe.
Things to Do (and Ways to Relax): Oh, the Choices!
Okay, this is where Chitwan REALLY shines. You're in the middle of jungle-tastic paradise! Things to do? Oh, where do I start? Swimming pool, and the pool with view? Absolutely stunning. Fitness center! I’m not a gym rat, but it was there. I got a glorious massage. It was exactly what my travel-sore body needed. They also offer body scrub, body wrap, foot bath, and spa. The sauna, spa/sauna, and steamroom felt like a little slice of heaven. And of course, the safari! I saw a rhino! Okay, it was far away, and I only got a blurry photo, but STILL! Pro Tip: Don't forget the bug spray. TRUST ME.
Services and Conveniences: They've Got You Covered
They’re pretty good with the little things. Air conditioning in public area, concierge, daily housekeeping, laundry service, luggage storage, meeting/banquet facilities, safety deposit boxes, terrace. I used the cash withdrawal, the dry cleaning, and the ironing service. The front desk [24-hour] was ace! They have a gift/souvenir shop if you're into that sort of thing, and a convenience store for those inevitable forgotten toiletries.
For the Kids (and the Young at Heart)
Family/child friendly! I noticed babysitting service, and kids facilities, so if you're traveling with the little ones, you're covered. I did see the kids meal option.
Getting Around:
Airport transfer is a must. They also offer taxi service, valet parking, and there is a car park [free of charge], and a car park [on-site].
The Imperfections, the Quirks, The Honest Truth
Look, it's not perfect. The website could be better, and the Wi-Fi dropped out once or twice (the horror!). The food, while delicious, could get a little repetitive after a week. But honestly? These are minor quibbles. The genuine warmth of the staff, the awe-inspiring beauty of the surroundings… it more than makes up for it.
My Verdict? You Need to Go! (And Here's Why!)
Chitwan Resort is more than just a place to stay; it's an experience. Yes, the internet is good, the rooms are comfy, and the staff are lovely. But the real magic is the feeling of being immersed in nature, of disconnecting from the everyday and embracing the wild.

Escape to Paradise: Sol E Luna Inn, Ghazoua, Morocco
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the chaotic, glorious, and probably slightly mosquito-infested reality of my trip to Wild Adventure Resort in Chitwan, Nepal. This isn't your perfectly curated Instagram feed; this is the actual, messy, sometimes-smelly, always-entertaining truth.
Day 1: Arrival – Jungle Fever (and a near-miss with a rogue rhino)
- Morning (ish): Landed at Bharatpur Airport. Okay, "landed" is a strong word. It felt more like a controlled bump, like they were trying to stop the plane with a particularly grumpy yak. The airport? Let's just say "rustic." Charmingly rustic, if you're into that whole "waiting in a room with a single, flickering lightbulb" aesthetic.
- Mid-Morning: The transfer from the airport to Wild Adventure Resort. The jeep ride! Let me tell you, the roads are…evolving. Think potholes that could swallow a small child, and a soundtrack of honking and the occasional squeal of a particularly terrified goat. The scenery though? Jaw-dropping. Fields of waving grasses, glimpses of the river, and a general sense of "holy cow, I'm actually here."
- Lunch: Arrived at the Resort and got a welcome drink (sweet chai, divine!). After the travel-related craziness, I feel like I could eat a whole yak. Seriously famished. Found the buffet lunch. Oh my god, that was so delicious.
- Afternoon: Okay, so this is where things get interesting. We had a little briefing for all the tourists. It went something like this. "Be careful with the animals" followed by a terrifyingly close encounter with a rhino on our way from dinner to our room. I mean, the damn thing was, like, ten feet away! Heart hammering. I am not exaggerating when I say I almost jumped into the nearest ditch (which, given the abundance of wildlife, probably wouldn't have been the wisest move).
- Evening: Dinner. The food was really good, which was a welcome relief after the near-death experience. We were trying to make some new friends around the table, with so many excited and cool people. Went back to my room and crashed.
Day 2: Safari Shenanigans and the Search for the Elusive Tiger (and my lost dignity)
- Early Morning: OMG! Woke up before dawn for the jungle safari. I actually love this. The air was crisp, the jungle was waking up. We were on the jeep. It was so beautiful.
- Mid-Morning: The safari, the main event! The guide really knows his stuff, and pointed out everything from tiny birds to the majestic (and admittedly terrifying) sloth bears. I was on the edge of the jeep and trying to take the best photos on my camera. I was so close to the animals that I could have touched them! Sadly, no tiger sightings, but the suspense alone was worth it.
- Lunch: Back at the lodge feeling pretty pleased with myself. Also, pretty hungry. Tried some of the local dal bhat. I feel like I am becoming pretty good at this.
- Afternoon: Canoeing on the Rapti River. So peaceful. The river was completely calm. I was trying to take a photo and because I don't have a professional camera, my phone fell right into the water. It wasn't a good day for technology.
- Evening: Cultural dance performance. Honestly, it was breathtaking. The energy, the colours, the drumming. Incredible.
Day 3: Goodbye Chitwan (and a lingering smell of sunscreen)
- Morning: One last sunrise over the jungle. I was gonna miss this. Packed my bags, which mostly consisted of slightly damp clothes, mosquito repellent, and a newfound appreciation for the raw power of nature.
- Mid-Morning: Farewell breakfast. One last delicious helping of Nepali cuisine. Said our goodbyes to some of the amazing staff at the resort.
- Lunch: Lunch at a local restaurant! The food was amazing, and I got to see some more amazing dishes. I spent my time interacting with the group and sharing fun memories.
- Afternoon: The drive back to the airport. Saying goodbye to Chitwan, but I am sure I will be back!
Random Thoughts and Observations:
- Mosquito Repellent: My lifeblood. I've probably gone through a whole bottle.
- The Dust Factor: Everything is covered in a fine layer of red dust. My sinuses are NOT happy.
- Nepali Hospitality: Seriously heartwarming. People are incredibly kind and welcoming.
- The Monkeys: Adorable but ruthless. I saw one steal a whole bag of chips.
- My Biggest Regret: Not bringing enough bug spray. And maybe a better camera. And maybe a crash course in Nepali.
Final Verdict:
Wild Adventure Resort Chitwan? Absolutely worth it. It’s not perfect, it's messy, and it’s a little rough around the edges. But that’s the beauty of it. It’s real. it’s raw. And it’s an adventure you'll never forget. Just remember to pack extra bug spray, a sense of humour, and maybe a spare pair of shoes. You'll need them. And also, please, keep an eye out for those rhinos. They’re serious business.

Okay, Chitwan. Sounds...wild. What's the ACTUAL vibe like? Is it just a giant mosquito buffet with a side of sunburn?

What should I pack for Chitwan? I'm imagining a pith helmet and a monocle, but I'm probably wrong...

Is it safe? I'm a solo traveler, and I tend to worry...
