"Loved this place. The suite rooms on the top floor are outstanding. Staff are welcoming and extremely friendly. Good spoken English. Food from the restaurant (and room service) is excellent.
I would recommend this hotel to everyone. There was a small problem with the hot water when I checked in but solutions were found. "
"Incredibly hard-working and professional staff. I highly recommend staying in this hotel, especially for business purposes and team trips. They went out of their way to accommodate our every need and I am so grateful. "
"This is the nicest hotel in the city. Excellent and professional staff and management. All facilities are first rate -- excellent swimming pool and dining room. Extremely comfortable room with a huge and nicely appointed bathroom. First rate."
"Our group of 7 students and faculty from my college had an incredible stay at Kasara Resort in Chitwan National Park. From airport transfers to check-out, everything was smooth and well-organized. The resort was clean, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. Rooms were comfortable, and the service throughout our stay was excellent—professional, welcoming, and attentive.
The food at the on-site restaurant was a highlight. Each meal was fresh and flavorful, and the servers were courteous and professional, enhancing every dining experience. We also enjoyed two game drives, both of which were outstanding.
A special thank you to our dedicated naturalist, Sujan. His knowledge of the flora and fauna of Nepal was impressive, and he took time to educate and inspire our entire group. He made the wildlife experience truly memorable.
The resort staff even helped us check in and secure boarding passes at the airport—just one more example of their incredible service. Kasara exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Chitwan, especially academic or student groups."
"The staff are amazing. Whether that’s the guides, or the restaurant staff, everyone is lovely. It’s a much quieter area than staying in Sauraha, which is one of the reasons we picked it. We also picked it as it has a much better reputation for how it keeps its elephants compared to most lodges and was one of the the first to ban tourists riding them which I liked.
The safari experience was epic, saw tonnes of rhino, as well as gaur and birdlife. We also heard tigers. The lodge gardens are full of birds.
The lodge rooms are clean but quite basic. I do think they need a bit of an investment upgrade - eg painting a H in tippex on the hot tap isn’t really what you expect given the cost. There was also a bit of noise on the second night, but minimal compared to what we’d had in the rest of Nepal. The stay is inclusive of all meals, all drinks (except filtered water) are extra, the food was pretty decent.
Great place "
"We stayed at the Vivanta for three nights in April and loved it! The hotel is beautiful, clean and extremely comfortable but what we loved most was the staff. I don’t remember being treated better at any hotel. From check in to the wait staff, hostess, manager and even the chef, we were treated like family and taken care of so well that we hated to leave. We will be back Vivanta! "
"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."
