I have stayed at the Island Jungle resort many times, first visit in 2004 last one this year, it is my place of choice when in this area. Being on it's own island, affords a wonderful isolation that surely people seek when heading for a Chitwan destination. The wildlife is prolific and sightings include, rhinos, monkeys, Sloth Bear, Deer, many... More

Being in the heart of the jungle the resort promises a great stay. Unfortunately it fails on so many fronts. I would certainly not stay here again or recommend anyone to. We were promised a pick up from the airport but no-one was there when we arrived. Eventually a driver and car arrived, delivered us to a main collection point... More

We enjoyed our stay. The location is interesting and great scenery. The rooms are very basic and not particularly clean. The food was truly abysmal - this wasn't helped when the slide presenter on our first night told us that they find snakes in and around the kitchen - attracted by the rats. The guides were very good. Our trips... More

Excellent hotel with excellent guides to take care of you - the food too simple but tasty and fresh. The Thani cultural show organised was enjoyable and the the tours well organized and fun. The cottages were lovely. More

this place is somewhat hard to get to as it is located on an island deep inside the jungle.. you'll need to take a jeep, then a boat, and finally walk some more to get to IJR the staff was superb, the lodges comfortable enough and clean, the food good enough, hot water available, and most importantly the tour/jungle guides...

I visited this resort last month with my boyfriend and we really enjoyed our stay. I thought the jungle setting was absolutely beautiful and from the moment of our arrival we were kept busy with activities. During our two night stay, we went on two elephant rides, one canoe ride, one walking safari, one jeep safari, watched a slide show... More

Was a bit surprised by the bad reviews as we had a great time here. Great relaxing jungle setting, decent buffet food and a busy schedule of interesting activities. We suspect everybody paid a different price but for most people it was good value at 150 USD PP for 2 night 3 days including return regular tourist bus from KTM.... More

Like the lodge, tours were well organized, food was oke (would be a bit more variety) rooms were oke (hot showers & electricity in the evening). Nice thing about the lodge it is within the boundaries of the NP, and I saw a lot of wild life (Rhino, crocs, lots of birds, and lots of monkeys) More

I stayed with a friend for two nights in mid November. We had spent three weeks in Nepal already - mostly trekking and this was such a relaxing and wonderful way to finish our trip. The resort is located on an island within the jungle of the Chitwan National Park. Accommodation is basic but it has everything you need, the... More
