Machan Country Villa

We only got to stay here for two nights but I wish it had been much longer. The staff were so helpful and couldn't do enough for us. They accomdated my vegan diet and served delicious food at every meal. The grounds are attective and well maintained and the bungalows are clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjyed the activities we experienced there. The ride around the surrounding village, the boat ride, the jeep safari and the Tharu cultural dance. Although we packed a lot into our stay, we never felt hurried. There was also time to soak up the calming atmosphere. On the boat ride we saw crocodiles and several species of birds. On the jeep safari we saw elephants, several rhinos (including one that came up close to investigate), deer, wild boar, monkeys a mongoose and more species of birds. The naturalists on the safari were excellent at spotting animals and birds allowing us to see a tremendous amount of wildlife.

What a beautiful peaceful lodge. The service is second to none. We were able to spot Rhinos, 4 types of kingfisher and many deer on our morning jungle safari with very knowledgeable and helpful driver and guide. The whole program was well thought out and timed. The food was freshly cooked with local produce and special vegetarian dishes prepared for us. I didn’t want to leave as this is a very special place for relaxing by the fire at night and seeing nature in the daytime. I can’t recommend highly enough

This was my fourth time visiting Machan. Staff are friendly, professional and we felt well taken care of. We really appreciated that the naturalist shared his knowledge and dedication to Chitwan National Park. Looking forward to next time!

Manchan Country Villas was an excellent place to stay while experiencing Chitwan National Park. SWOTAH travel booked my stay and arranged my tours with Manchan, and Manchan provided both excellent naturalist tours of the park, visits to the surrounding community, and a place to rest up after the adventures of the day. My room above the reception area was one of the best kept and well-appointed places I stayed while in Nepal. On my jeep safari, walking safari and birdwatching excursion, the team of naturalist guides was able to share a wealth of information, and provide experiences that will last a lifetime.

Lovely place in Chitwan National Park. From the first moment I have arrived, the staff welcomed me with a smile on their face and I could feel their sincere kindness. The room is great with comfortable bed and the food is delicious. You can feel the nature running through your veines. Chhanu, my guide was very professional and showed me the jungle and he is truly dedicated to his job.

Very good accommodation and very friendly staff. Clean, comfy rooms and plenty of hot water for showers Good internet at all times. Very well presented grounds and swimming pool a bonus. Food tended be a little predicable and often the same menu for lunch. The barbecue was very good. The dance evening was entertaining and made a pleasant last evening for our visit
