Terrible resort. Room facilities worn out and dirty. Towels & sheets were grey and thin. Heater did not work in the middle of nite and room became awfully chilly. No toiletries provided and room smelled as if not opened for some time. Staff tried their best to fix lights and provide service but over all bare basic accommodation. Food acceptable. More

Can't seem to find any posting on "Machan Paradise VIew" and so I am posting this here. I am told that they are sister eatblishments but please do not be confused. "Machan Paradise View" and "Machan Wildlife Resort" are two different properties quite a distance apart. In fact if you are on your own transport and the driver is unfamiliar,... More

This lodge is very basic but the wildlife makes the stay worthwhile (although we did have a rat in our bedroom that was not welcome). The food is very good and something for everyone. We had 2 elephant trips and they were exciting especially when we tracked a rhino. There are 2 jeeps, one where you are sitting in the... More

I'm slightly confused here so I'm not surprised if you are too... Could it be that some of the contributors here are talking about different establishments? My comments relate to Machan Paradise View, which is a cluster of five two storey chalets (each two up, two down) with no swimming pool or tented accommodation. It's a great location and we... More

Did some background reading about this 'resort' so really did not expect much, however was very pleasantly surprised. The staff were all very professional, accomodation acceptable and there was certainly a genuine willingness by the manager and the guides to make you happy and to make your stay enjoyable. Food was basic but acceptable.... good bar selection however, accomodation clean... More

We checked all options beforehand so if you want a review thats unbiased and wellinformed read this: We are a couple (22/25 years) visiting this place end of september 2011. To be honoust, it was not as good as we expected it to be. Although most of the staff is friendly and try their best, we felt that we didn't... More

I stayed for two nights in the Machan Wildlife Resort and one in Machan Paradise View, as part of a package booked through Himalayan encounters. The transfers, accommodation and food were all very professional and enjoyable, and although I was there in off season, (only a couple of people staying in the resort) the program of activities was very good,...

The place is now called Machan Paradise View. We did book this place last week as the Tiger Top is closed during Summer. We stayed 2 nights on full board: it is probably one of the worst lodging experiences over the years from all aspects: it is more a hostel than a resort with poor service & excursions, questionable cleanliness,...

It was purely by chance that i stumbled on to this litle jewel near Chitwan. Before starting our from Delhi, I had asked my travel-agent to book us at a resort inside the park so as we could get a complete feel of the jungle as well as have a better chance of spotting the wildlife. We were warned that... More
