ESTABLISHED 1994
Rooted in the Jungle, Dedicated to its Protection.
Warm Nepalese Hospitality, Locally Owned.
Sauraha Lodge isn't just a destination; it's a legacy. Founded by the local community of Sauraha, our lodge remains 100% locally owned and operated. This deep connection to the land ensures that every guest experience is rooted in authentic tradition and genuine care.
From our kitchen staff to our master guides, our team is comprised of individuals who have grown up alongside the rhinos and tigers of Chitwan. This intrinsic knowledge allows us to offer more than just a stay—we offer an immersion into the soul of the jungle.
