Beautiful bamboo lodges overlooking the river where you can see wildlife! Food and drinks were also very good and they have a fabulous outdoor shower. Hot showers also!

Our room was a little small and the bed was quite uncomfortable but other rooms seemed larger.

The location on the river provided a fantastic place to watch the wildlife and to enjoy the sunsets. Our room was very quirky..more like a treehouse. The owner and staff were friendly and attentive. There was an excellent hot , outside shower as well indoor showers. The property was very clean and attractive.

Just know that the rooms are made of bamboo so you can hear almost everything that’s going on outside, for us it was no problem, but if you’re a light sleeper it might be.

We had an amazing stay here! The owner is so friendly and helpful! The location is great, it is directly at the river across the national park. You can spot wild life while enjoying the very good food and drinks from the bar! They arranged a walking safari and jeep safari for us, both were very good! Great outside hot shower!

We had a great time at Happy Lemon Tree Lodge! Our room was good sized, not cold at night and had a beautiful little patio facing the river, perfect to relax reading on the hammock while looking our for animals to appear on the other side of the river. Beautiful outdoors shower too.

Dharmik and Suchenna are fabulous hosts and their Lodge is totally fantastic. I was so happy that I'd booked a 4 night stay and next time will stay even longer. My room was really comfortable and I love the thought and care that has gone into the quirky construction of the rooms, the rest areas outside each room, the dining areas, the washrooms, the open air hot water shower--in fact everything. The location is perfect, totally peaceful, right on the riverbank and with wonderful views at sunrise with the mists and at sunset and throughout the day. I was so happy to see rhinos, crocodiles, hornbills and many other birds from my seat on their riverbank and Suchenna was really good at making sure that I spotted all of the wildlife as it appeared. It is an easy flat walk to the local shops and to the bus station but there are plenty of tuk tuks if you don't want to walk. The food at Happy Lemon Tree was all freshly prepared and excellent and really reasonably priced and there's an amazing variety of both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks available. Nothing is too much trouble for Dharmik and Suchenna and all of their staff are just as helpful and friendly as they are. I particularly enjoyed Suchhenna's home made croissants and cinnamon rolls for breakfast and was really impressed when Dharmik sent out for some diet coke for me which is not on their menu. So many thoughtful touches that epitomise Dharmik and Suchenna's philosophy on hospitality. They go far beyond what should be expected and are absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend Happy Lemon Tree enough--do not hesitate to book and make sure that you stay for as long as possible.

Fantastic lodge in a superb location. It was like staying in a treehouse! You have views across the river into the national park. Saw an elephant and a rhino from the bar. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful.

The owners and the staff were very heplful. They organized the tours to the Chitwan National Park and a few other things. The guide we had was very professional. The location by the Rapti River was amazing. It was great to observe rhinos, elephants, crocodiles and peacocks while enjoying a delicious breakfast. The area was very quiet and peaceful. Happy Lemon Tree Lodge is a very special place to stay. I loved it but I guess it´s not for everyone.

The place has a very special and hommy atmosphere... owner and staff are extremely warm and gentle. The hotel (bar and rooms) is absolutley respectfull with the natural environment and landscape. Happy lemmon tree is, probbly, the best place to stay in Chitwan. The bonus: it has a beautiful shower under the trees.

Honestly there was nothing I didn't like.

Happy Lemon Tree was a vibe that I've never experienced in Nepal before. I have been to Nepal and particularly Chitwan 4 times. This was my favourite hotel from all my previous trips and my favourite hotel in all of Nepal. Not just Nepal but any other country I have been to. The staff and owners were lovely people who went out of their way to make my stay as good as it possibly could be. I celebrated my birthday there and they surprised me with a cake and wine. It will be a birthday ill never forget. The location is amazing and you are right on the river banks and can catch a beautiful sun set each evening. You can just sit there for hours and relax. It's the most relaxing experience I have had in Nepal. Well needed after spending 4 days in Kathmandu. I will be back to this hotel when I come back in the future. I don't even need to look for other hotels. I will be staying here for sure. It is just a beautiful peaceful vibe and the room is so cool. It's like living in a tree hut 🛖 well it's like that because you are lol I couldn't fault anything. I wish I could of stayed longer. Thanks to the owners and the staff for making my stay so amazing. Peace and Love 🤪❤️

The beautifully built bamboo apartment on the riverside is a perfect place to spend your time in Chitwan. Nice host couple, always there to help. Nice cuisine and drinks, local beers from the tap are a specialty!

Great vibes, tasty food and drinks, beautiful structure, great people. Dharmik was awesome and sat down with me when I arrived to lay out all the options for exploring Chitwan, also was very knowledgeable about how to explore it ethically. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Nothing!

It is a really cute accommodation with a perfect view at the river. We saw crocodiles while we enjoyed the delicious draft beer. The owner is a really nice person, who helpt us with everything we needed. The rooms are like a treehouse, which was so cool! Highly recommend this place! We extended our stay.

We loved the location of Happy Lemon Tree, right by Rapti river, with lots to see from the terrace, including wild elephants, crocs, lots of birds. Dharmik is a charming host, very friendly and nothing is too much trouble, including organising trips. Our room was basic (as expected) but had mosquito net, washing facilities are good and the bar and food were really good facilities to have, Staff very nice.
