It was the perfect stay after the Manaslu trek: Warm weather and luxurious while still being outside of the crowded town.

The trips they arranged for me where really good & value for money too I would definitely stay here again and I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends who want to visit Chitwan national Park.

It would have been nice if the hotel was within walking distance of Sauraha, local center of the tourism action, but the hotel was happy to call a tuk tuk, and at a cost of only $3 (US) for a quick ride into town, it could be considered part of the fun. I also missed having an in-room safe, although it’s really not essential here since the entire property is walled and guarded.

The property was beautifully designed, finished, and maintained for luxury safari accommodations. All luxury amenities are provided, staff were kind and accommodating, WiFi was strong throughout the property, food at the restaurant was very fresh and delicious, rooms are generously sized and comfortable (as are the beds!), and the tropical-style pool was wonderful. The property is eco friendly with home grown fruits and vegetables, the pool recycles its water, the landscaping is tropically lush with indigenous plants abutting the meandering stone walkways, each room is a free-standing Nepali-style structure that blends into the landscape, the furniture is locally designed and made, and the individual buildings reflect local building traditions and use high-quality materials including stone floors, and rough hewn wood walls. My bathroom was elegant with high-end fittings and fixtures, and was spotlessly clean. Staff is happy to arrange full or half-day safaris with elephants, jeeps, canoes or walking at a very reasonable cost, and the hotel sponsors periodic outdoor programs around an outdoor fire pit featuring local performers.

Nothing really! Everything was fantastic.

Banbas is a hidden gem! From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was stepping into the national park. The property is right outside the national park, but it genuinely feels like part of it. The pond and wetland are teeming with life—100+ bird species, fish swimming around (a staff noted that fish are fed with waste food from the hotel kitchen!), and even a waterfall in the pool area. It’s so peaceful! The rooms are villa-style, super comfortable, and have amazing views of the pond. I loved the Tharu-style artwork in the decor—such a nice touch that celebrates local culture. The property is also wheelchair-friendly, which I really appreciated. The staff was fantastic—welcoming me with drinks and flowers at check-in. The food was a perfect mix of local and international dishes, and everything felt thoughtfully curated. Can’t wait to visit again!

Very good resort hotel. Very clean and very cosy. It is near to the Nationalpark. They offer tours with fair prices. The food at the restaurant is delicious. All the stuff is friendly and help if you had the need for. We saw a traditional dancing show which was very interesting. When we arrived, we got a small flower and a good juice.

The hotel was slightly far out from the town Center, needed to get a tuktok.

Wondeful setting, The resort is a couple of kilometres from the town in a quiet rural setting. The resort has been built to a very high standard, The main main of the resort has a spacious reception area, where we were greeted with fruits Juice whilst we checked in. We were show to a bungalow by very helpful and eager to please hotel staff. The bungalow was spacious and layout of the room was tastefully laid out. There was a big swimming pool, next to a lake which was beautiful.

there was absolutly nothing to complain about.

The resort is a truly gem. Tasteful architecture with respect for traditional building style and traditional material - all with refinement and that extra touch. The bungalows are all placed round the pond with a balcony facing the waterfront. The rooms are spacious and decorated with sal wood details. Lovely bathroom With all the comfort you can ask for. The rooms are cleaned and filled up with water, flowers and consumables every day. The pool area is a perfect place to rest after a long day in the Jungle. The garden around the pool area is surrounded with nice greenery and filled with birds and beautiful butterflies. The nature guides are very knowledgeable and likeable persons - wich I think is important when you are going to spend a whole day in the jungle. All of the staff is very helpful and friendly and you definetly feel that their aim is to make your stay something extra!

Lovely hotel setup with individual room ‘cabins’ arranged around the lake, with an abundance of birds. The room was spacious and extremely comfortable. Very attentive staff. Great breakfast and good food at the restaurant. Wonderful pool overlooking the lake. The location is slightly outside the hustle and bustle of Sauraha but easy to get a cheap Tuktuk to and from the centre. It’s a relatively new hotel, hence only having a few reviews on here, so don’t be put off by that!

Amazing facilities! Very attentive and friendly staff, we were treated very well. The pool and the lake were beautiful and we even got a chance to go on a birdwatching tour with a naturalist. The property has over 80 birds and it created a great atmosphere. Overall this is a very beautifully designed resort with great amenities.

You simply cannot improve on perfection. From the toiletries in the bathroom to the linens on the bed, everything was chosen with comfort, care, and you as a special guest in mind. I sincerely cannot think of one single thing that could be improved upon. Banbas isn't just a delight, it is heaven on earth.

The breakfast was a culinary delight--anything and everything you could possibly want to start the day. Whether you are vegan, gluten free, vegetarian, or just regular eggs--fixed any way you like, sausage, toast, juice, coffee/tea, it was delicious, the service great, and the presentation lovely. Staff was always smiling, polite, and helpful. Breakfast, lunch, dinner--you cannot improve on perfection. Every care has been taken to delight your senses. Trees, plants, flowers all chosen to attract birds and butterflies. The other morning over 80 species of birds were spotted on the grounds. The swimming pool is gorgeous, with multiple layers of deck all with comfortable seating, lounge chairs, and tables for your comfort and enjoyment. Dining may be inside or out as you refer. At night there is a lovely area and seating for a bonfire. Local crafts, building materials, and architecture are reflected throughout Banbas. The jungle is just across the street. A cacophony of beautiful birdsong greets you morning and evening. Such a gorgeous place to relax and get rejuvenated. I did not want to leave! On your standard 5-star rating scale, Banbas is definitely a 10-star resort.

My experience at Siddhartha Vilasa Banbas Resort was nothing short of enchanting. Nestled beside Chitwan National Park, the tranquility of the surroundings offered a perfect retreat. The resort's safaris and river trips allowed me to witness diverse wildlife in their natural habitat, creating thrilling memories. The rustic luxury of the resort, combined with a delightful fusion of local and international cuisine, made each meal a culinary journey. Kingfishers' melodies by fish-filled waterholes added a poetic touch to the dining experience. Exploring the peaceful gardens teeming with native plants or lounging by the infinity pool provided moments of pure relaxation. What struck me most was the seamless integration of nature with modern amenities, ensuring accessibility for differently-abled guests. Moreover, the warmth and hospitality of the Manager, GM, and the entire staff made my stay truly memorable. Their personal touch added an extra layer of comfort and made Siddhartha Vilasa Banbas Resort my top recommendation in Sauraha, Chitwan. It's not just a place; it's an immersive haven where nature and exceptional service intertwine.

Fabulous location. Right next to the safari park. The rooms are large and well appointed. Loos are spacious and well equipped. Pool, breakfast and common areas are beautiful! I wish I had stayed for longer.
