“The absolute best place in entire Nepal!”
Calm, quiet and far from the bitten track. The family is the nicest people I've met. The owner has an extensive knowledge about not only Chitwan but also the Himalaya mountains. The safari they organize is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, during which you can eat delicious meals in a jungle watching wildlife and cruise in a jeep spotting rhinos and elephants! They truly put so much care in everything the guests experience. If you want a unique moment away from all the touristy noise, this is a fantastic place! Sincerely recommend!

“Off the beaten track in Chitwan”
Stay with welcoming and friendly family well off the beaten track. Our host arranged a safari in Chitwan for the day and we saw rhinos, elephants and many other wild animals and saw parts of Chitwan far away from the main tourist area. It wasn't very clear how to get there ... but it wasn't that hard. We left the Tourist bus at the first stop in Bharatpur (not the main stop - just ask the conductor for advice) and walked a short distance to the main bus terminal. After asking around a couple of times, we found the local bus to Madi and let the conductor know where we were staying. Then just sat until we were dropped off right outside the Guesthouse. The alternative option (and the one we wished we had taken) was to take a taxi/tuk-tuk to the Guesthouse - there is plenty of choice. This would be far quicker (the bus took 2+hours and the tuk-tuk would have been just over an hour).

If you’re looking for an authentic homestay, in the middle of rural Nepal where you can relax and enjoy Nepalese culture and food, then this is the perfect place. The family is kind and helpful, the food was absolutely delicious and the surroundings are beautiful. The rooms are spacious though not super luxurious (which is to be expected being this far from commercial touristic places to be fair). They also arranged a jungle safari for us! We loved our stay here!

If you want to experience local, rural Nepal then this place is perfect! The family you stay with are all amazing, and make the experience even more memorable! The wife cooks the best traditional Nepal food too! Mr Rama has a jeep and took us on a jungle safari and to a waterfall as well! Mr Rama is the kindest man and also provided me with lots of information on their religion and traditions! I was a solo female traveller and I highly recommend this place!

“Wonderful Nepalese experience, you won’t leave hungry!!”
This guest house is way out off the tourist route, it’s is as described a ‘rustic guesthouse’ the family who run it are lovely people who truly care about their product and showing you their wonderful country. Nothing is too much trouble for them they make you feel so welcome with lots of tea, cold water and great food. The jungle safari was heaps of fun, 8 hours to be precise, great value for money with many animals spotted.

“Beautiful countryside guesthouse with super welcoming hosts!”
This beautiful guesthouse is in the Middle of the countryside, it's so peaceful and quiet! The hosts are a local family and they did everything to make us feel at home! The mother of the family and one of her sons made us fresh Nepali food everyday. One of the other sons cane to get us from bharatpur and helped us arrange a taxi for a good price They also arranged a whole day safari for us in Chitwan National Park, father of the family was the guide on this tour. We saw so many animals! A lot of deer, peacock, a black boar, a lot of birds and 3 Rhino's! We really loved that they we're so welcoming! We would totally reccomend others to stay here if you want to get away from the main crowd and experience the real Nepal countryside life!

A truly rustic homestay far away from the tourist centres. Harry and his family (and dog) are very warm people and, as a lone traveller, I especially enjoyed having our meals together

“A lovely stay in the jungle”
If you're looking for a rural, authentic experience in Chitwan then this is perfect. Very rustic and basic, but we liked this :) The food was extremely fresh and delicious if you like healthy veggie cuisine (best dalbhat)! The dog and family were very friendly and helpful. We had a trip to a lovely nearby waterfall too. It was a great place to stay. Thank you :)

“Little gem”
The main house is a gem! Old traditional wooden house with view at rice fields. Very remote location (!), in a true Nepalese countryside. The only place we could see buffalo carts on the way to and from the property. Lots of wildlife too, including wild boar coming every night to feed on rice. Considering how far it is from other places, staying few nights is in our opinion the best option.

“A truly rich experience of Nepal hosted by a lovely family.”
We had a tremendous stay at Shanta Ghar guesthouse! The family were so welcoming and offered a tremendous eco room and facilities! We got the best tour around the park with a private jeep and saw many animals with this whole day excursion. We also got a jungle walk to 3 water falls. Besides this the food was local Nepali vegetarian food and absolutely delicious! Thanks again! We loved it. Namaste

“I think I would have enjoyed it way more if I wouldn’t got scammed.”
If you want to experience the rural life of Nepal and take amazing pictures with the sunset on the rice fields, this is a place to stay. To rest and to discover local life. But it is surely way more expensive than other places especially the safari. If you are willing to pay more and you don’t mind you can book. Otherwise I recommend to go there as a holiday on a farm. The room was very cosy and the bathrooms cute and clean.
