Paradise in Sauraha! The place is amazing, in front pf the jungle (I saw a Rhino after 10 minutes I was there. The staff is amazing and the Co-owner too.

Stunning, relaxed river side lodge with everything you could possibly need. Staff are super helpful. The pool is gorgeous. The rooms are simple and comfortable.

Not a con, just a note. Establishment was still in progress. More rooms/houses will be added. Will be even better in the near future!

Perfect location, amazing view of the river. Sunset chill with drinks. Friendly staff. Treehouse was dreamy! Owner helped us book a day safari. Delicious toasts! Unique common shower.

Nothing

The staff were really warm and friendly and very helpful with booking tours for our time in Chitwan. The room was rustic as it was a treehouse but we slept well after our long safari! The food was also delicious and we loved sitting enjoying a beer near the river.

The outdoor shower could have better lighting.

Dharmik was extremely welcoming and helpful during our stay! We absolutely loved the unforgettable safari tours arranged by him with a very passionate safari guide, Bishner! After the long tiring days on the safaris, we enjoyed relaxing at the accommodation and admiring the view of the river. The freshly prepared lemonades and food let us enjoy our stay even more.

The beds are seriously solid - we even slept on top of the duvet they gave us to try and add some softness but after 3 nights my back was in bits. That’s really the only negative to the place!

A beautiful resort with a really chilled vibe. The setting is perfect, the staff are very friendly and helpful and the surprise of a pool was great. They also helped us organise our safari. Brilliant location and a really cool place to stay!

Had a great stay at the Happy Lemon tree. Fabulous view over the river and relaxed vibe. Really helpful with mini tours into the Chitwan Park - I definately recommend an overnight in the Tree House

Can be noisy at night with all the noises from the animals in the forest. Earplugs are recommended

Great location with beautiful river view. Lovely food and staff. Went on an evening walk with the guide free from the Hostel and saw a Rhino bathing in the river with lots of birds identified too, Would recommend for your stay in Chitwan.

- The food is slightly more expensive than in town, - Hotel guests, should have a reduction compared to town visitors ahah, - It would be great if there were mosquito nets on the windows to be able to sleep with the windows open

- A beautiful location right by the river, - The owner and staff are welcoming and helpful, - Plenty activities available, often at a better price than elsewhere, - Be sure to Ask for Bisnu! He’s fantastic, - I did the evening walk, a full-day jeep tour and the full-day walk tour with overnight stay in the tower (I regret not doing the canoeing/walk), overnight stay : highly recommended! - The beds are very comfortable, with towels and mosquito nets provided, - The outdoor shower is great, - I would have stayed longer if I could!

Despite the great view, if I'd known how far it was down the rickety outdoor stairs and around a few corners to the loo and shower, I'd probably have chosen a different room. I'm older than most guests, and my aging knees and bladder were sometimes somewhat challenged...

I stayed in the room with probably the best view: high up on stilts, with a fantastic view over the river and toward the park that could be enjoyed from bed. Walls and floor were of bamboo, so not mosquito proof, but the bed net served well. The temperature was comfortable (it was March) both night and day, so I didn't need the fan that was provided. My guide was very knowledgeable (and we saw a tiger!!!), and manager Dharmik was quite helpful in realising my photo-safari wishes. The butter chicken was very nice, as were other dishes.

Could write a long review, but these 3 words are enough I think -> ‘everything was perfect’

What’s not to like.

We love the Happy Lemon Tree. My husband and I stayed here 4 years ago and brought friends here this past week and are so impressed by what Dharmik has created! It’s a perfect representation of Chitwan—peace, earth, and community. The food is delicious the lemonade is spot-on, the views are spectacular, the outdoor movies and new pool are so fun, and the cottages are handmade from bamboo—simple and clean. I wish we could have stayed longer to relax and experience the whole property and offerings more! We will be back.

The first thing that brought me to the Lemon tree lodge was the idea of a sustainable lodge made of Bamboo. So don’t expect fancy hotel rooms and traditional luxury commodities. This is an immersion in the nature, nicely integrated to the surrounding of the National park. You have everything you need, beautiful rooms, super clean toilettes (I loved the outdoor shower), beautiful food, relaxing vibes far from the noisy touristic street and the view by the river is just unbelievably stunning. From sunrise to sunset you breathe Chitwan’s magical atmosphere. Loved the safari both in jeep and on foot. The guides know the area well and they really make sure you have a safe and great experience in the jungle.

Super friendly staff, amazing food and an incredibly beautiful view.. 10/10⭐️

The food was lovely, especially the breakfast and the coffee! The location was beautiful - waking up to the river and feeling like you are so close to nature was amazing.

We booked the room with a balcony, expecting the room that is highlighted on the pictures. We had a different room with a lesser view and a tiny balcony you couldn’t sit at comfortably, so maybe make sure when booking that you get the proper one.

Very hippy feeling, very nice location just at the river

Without a doubt, this was one of the best and most unique experiences we had during our one-month trip through Nepal. From the moment we arrived, Dharmik (the owner) and his team made us feel so welcome. Dharmik is incredibly kind and attentive, always quick to respond to anything we needed. The rooms were spotless, and the showers were honestly amazing! The bamboo rooms added a special, rustic charm, though they aren’t insulated or soundproof. For us, that wasn’t a problem at all—it was actually part of the experience we were looking for at Happy Lemon Tree. If you’re a light sleeper, you might want to bring earplugs, but we slept perfectly fine. We also loved the yoga sessions offered on top of the tower at the lodge. Practicing in the peaceful jungle surroundings felt so relaxing and made the stay even more memorable. The entire place has such a laid-back vibe, perfect for soaking up the jungle atmosphere. Sitting by the riverbank with a cold drink, watching animals wander by, was a real highlight for us. The lodge is also in a great location—just a short walk to the main street of Sauraha. Plus, they let us store our bags while we went on a three-day jungle safari, which was super helpful.

Nothing

It’s so close to nature and center were everything is very close. Safe and quiet at night. Whole day private safari trip was organized. Everything was so perfect from A to Z.

Stayed in December 2024

There was a crazy drunk guy who tried to attack us one night but that was no fault of the owner just a bad tourist!

The views were amazing, we upgraded to a room with a view and wow! You can see elephants and rhinos crossing the river. Crocodiles are sunbathing on the bank opposite! Great watermelon juice!!

Nothing that I can think of. Everything was perfect! Would stay here again if I come back ever to visit Chitwan.

Beautiful scenary from the property, great & helpful staff & owner, cozy bar and rooms!

Stayed in November 2024

The room is quite basic and the bed pretty hard. We didn’t mind it, still slept like a baby because of the nature sounds. There are a enough tables and chairs but only two chill beds, could’ve been more in my opinion but as said above, they’re building that at the moment.

Great place to stay, relaxed and chill atmosphere and great view over the national park. Good (especially the chicken burger) is great. Plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the sunset/rise. Owner Dharmik is very helpful. They’re building a yoga and lounge space and swimming pool. Very curious to see how that turns out. Location is great as well, couple minutes walk to the Main Street and still in a quiet area.

I really appreciate the kindness and the competence of the owner, the activities we book with the hotel were very good and guides very professional, highly recommend

They were working on a new menu whilst I was there so the food options were limited. But their new upcoming menu looks great.

Excellent location and accommodation and hangout space. The national park is right across the river so you can see deer, peacocks, crocs just chilling near the river banks. Great value. Very comfortable. Great staff. Super friendly resident dog 😄
