Safari Narayani Hotel- All Inclusive

A rustic lodge on the banks of the Rapti River. Stay in small duplex style cabins across the Rapti River from Chitwan National Park.  
The rooms are air-conditioned.  The beds are fine and the bathrooms have hot water.  Wifi is available at the main lodge.
The food was fresh and delicious.  Staff attentive with good service.  
They house four Asian Elephants so you can meet them and even participate in bathing them in the river.
Good place to stay for a "real" Chitwan experience.

Being able to have the opportunity to meet an asian elephant up close during the briefing was fantastic. We were told all about them and even how they differed from other elephants, getting to feed them what our nature guide called an "elephant sandwich" after.

Canoeing along the Rapti river after lunch was just the right activity to settle down. The slow swaying of the boat, warm sun and cool breeze all fit to the calm surroundings of the still water. We were even lucky enough to run into some of the crocodiles that inhabited the area, which dipped in and out of the surface. 

Waking up early to experience the elephant safari ride is a must do. It really is as simple as strolling through a wild jungle on the back of an elephant, searching for animals hiding in the bushes and trees. Some of the animals we came across included: herds of spotted deer, a wild boar, a kingfisher (which was brilliantly blue), monkeys, a peakock and a rhino with its baby, which we had actually tracked from a clearance of grasslands after seeing its footprints. This was definitely one of my favourite activities of the whole trip.

The little jungle walk leading up to the crocodile breeding was exciting. Walking on the jungle floor with monkeys swinging in the trees above us really felt like an adventure. The nature guides were amazing as well, showing us all different kinds of flora and fauna. There was even a log bridge which everyone had fun trying to cross. After this we had a friendly reception before going to see the crocodile breeding centre. It really was fascinating seeing how they grow, and you could tell how old they were by the signs that had their hatching year on them.

The ox-cart ride around Tharu village was very eye opening to how the local people live. We were pulled by two bulls and sat in a wooden cart with the driver at the front. Eventhough it was raining during our ride, it didnt stop us from climbing on board with umbrellas and watching the beautiful scenery roll by. The mustard fields were the star of the show for me, the yellow flowers stretching into the distance where the hills provided a natural backdrop. 

Birdwatching was also one of my favourite activities. We walked slowly through Tharu village with our nature guide leading the way. The most memorable bird we spotted was one he called a blue roller sat on the electricity cables. With another chance to see the village, we also stopped to take pictures with by the hay stacks, huts and farm animals. 

The jeep safari was the last activity we did. We were again traveling through the jungle but this time sticking to the paths. The river was next to us for some time, and on the other bank lay crocodiles much larger than the ones we saw when we went canoeing. Further down we got the opportunity to climb a wooden watchtower with outstanding views at the top. 

All food was served buffete style, and you could request tea or coffee at anytime. You eat either in the lobby, which houses a cosy log fire, or out on the veranda looking out over the Rapti river. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are very enjoyable, as the staff and cooks are happy to help with any enquiries.

Accommodation is simple but has everyhing you need for a good stay: shampoo, soap, towels, mineral water etc. All staff are kind and welcoming, pleased to help and keep company.

as part of our 10 day trip to Nepal, we stayed at Narayani. Bear in mind that this is on the edge of the jungle beside a crocodile inhabited river. Some might think the accommodation basic but it provided us with everything we needed. 
The rooms were basic but clean, the air-conditioning worked and the fan did too. 
Food in the restaurant - breakfast, lunch and dinner were all great and the extra attention given to providing me with  a vegetarian alternative was greatly appreciated.
The staff could not have been more pleasant, happy to help with any requests. Our Elephant briefing was wonderful, meeting Tsumi Nkoto (I think that was her name) and being able to feed her and interact with her was an experience to remember.
The canoe journey, jungle walk and bathing with four magnificent elephants was brilliant. Thank you so much for a wonderful time.

The staff were fantastic especially Toosie (not sure if I've spelt that right) who was at our beck and call 24/7 and such a knowledgable and very funny man.  Food was great. Accommodation very comfy,clean and complimented the environment. The elephant safari was my highlight - early morning sunrise absolutely beautiful

It’s my second time to this place after 4 years and place got even more better. Rooms and furniture are renovated. Staffs became more professional. Food was even more tasty. The trip was much more fun.

We stayed for 2 nights here during our trip through India and Nepal. The chalet accommodation was the most basic we experienced. Hard beds with duvet type covers that are so heavyweight they pin you to the bed!! No safe, fridge, tea/coffee or hairdryer, however a hairdryer and kettle can be requested at reception. Water pressure in the shower is poor, water not very hot, no toiletries provided, only sachets of shampoo. However the friendliness of the staff and the camaraderie at breakfast and dinner make this place a lot of fun. Breakfast was the same for the 2 mornings, choice of 2 cereals, an omlette with fried potatoes, fried tomatoes, chicken livers and toast. No fruit or yogurt.

The hotel is in beautiful grounds and near all the places to visit. The rooms are chalets and basic but have all the amenities needed.
The staff are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble and they really want to ensure that your stay is perfect.
Meals are eaten on the verandah of the main building with beautiful views across the river.
Beware of mosquitoes.

Had 2 nights here with a group of like-minded travellers.  Had a fabulous stay ... the staff were amazing and couldn't do enough to be of assistance.   The elephant bathing was a highlight ... and the tireless Toozie, the resident naturalist, was amazing.  What a wealth of knowledge ... and the funniest sense of humour .. he made us all laugh all the time! Can highly recommend this accommodation

Rustic yet Wonderful!

We had the experience of a lifetime!

Basic accommodation

Basic but very comfortable

On the edge of Chitwan National Park

Fabulous stay...

Wonderful stay - wonderful staff

Second time and even better

We visited the lodge as part of a tour of India. We knew the accommodation would be basic but we expected the bedding to be in better condition. The sheets and pillow cases were grey and the duvet have some unexplained marks on it. The sheets on the bed did not feel fresh although I expect they were. The sheets felt clingy giving the impression they were dirty. The food at the lodge was very tasty and the bar prices reasonable. If you visit the lodge ensure you do the elephant safari and washing the elephants. For me this was the highlight of the stay. Message to the lodge. Get the bedding sorted.
