Accommodation
If you’re planning on travelling to Chitwan, then you are most likely thinking of going on safari.
Chitwan National Park is the most famous tourist destination for travellers who come here, and rightly so.
There are beautiful wildlife to see from elephants and tigers to leopards and the famous Indian rhino.
So which is the best Chitwan accommodation to stay in? It really depends on your budget and lifestyle.
Here’s our list of what we consider the 10 best hotels, hostels and resorts to help you decide where to stay in Chitwan.
Booking.com is great for finding and booking your accommodation in not just Chitwan, but any other destination you want to travel to. We’ve used them everywhere including when travelling to different parts of Asia, America, Europe etc.
When usingBooking.com, keep an eye on reward opportunities. Those who are members of the loyalty program can get up to 10% discounts on selected bookings and benefits like early check-ins and late check-outs. You too can become a Genius member by completing at least two bookings within two years.
Agoda have come on a long way in recent years and have a range almost as extensive as Booking.com. They also have really competitive rates, especially when you account for AgodaCash. This is their unique cashback system which gives you cashback on certain properties.
You can then save this up and get money off future bookings. I also love how modern and sleek the Agoda site is, as well as their recommendations for places they know we would like; based off past bookings.
To get the best deal, I recommend choosing your hotel or hostel from the list below, and then checking it out on both Booking.com and Agoda to see who’s cheapest. Don't worry, all necessary links are included below!
