Location
Located in the heart of Chitwan, Bharatpur, the hostel is just a 2-minute walk from the Narayani River and close to the city center and transportation hub, making it easy to travel anywhere in Nepal.
They offer pickup from the bus station in Narayangarh, Bharatpur. The distance from Kathmandu to Chitwan is about 146 kilometers (91 miles), typically a 5 to 6-hour journey by bus or car.
Known for Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, it offers opportunities to see rhinos, tigers, and other wildlife.
For a comfortable journey, book tickets with reputable bus services. Local transport options include rickshaws and taxis.
The best time to visit is from October to March when the weather is mild. Remember to bring appropriate clothing for jungle activities and a good insect repellent.
