First Impressions & Accessibility (and the "Oh Crap, I Forgot My Charger!" Moment)
So, you've landed in Chitwan. Beautiful, wild Chitwan. Getting to Royal Tiger? Relatively easy peasy lemon squeezy. Airport transfer? YES! Thank god. They whisked me away, because after a red-eye, the last thing I wanted was to haggle for a taxi. Accessibility… well, it's Nepal. Things aren't always perfect. The resort does offer facilities for disabled guests, which is awesome. I saw elevators and ramps, and that's a HUGE plus. You'll want to double-check specifics based on your individual needs, but they are trying (and that matters).
My initial thought as I walked in: "WHOA." Lush, green, the air practically humming with jungle life. It's seriously gorgeous.
Okay, let's get down to brass tacks.
Rooms & Amenities: Paradise Found… and Maybe a Slightly Crumpled Shirt
Okay, my room… it was a room. A really freakin’ nice room! Air conditioning? Check. Thank you, sweet baby Jesus, because that Chitwan heat is NO JOKE. Free Wi-Fi? DOUBLE CHECK. (Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!) – and yes, it actually worked. I could post my envy-inducing pics of the pool to the 'gram, which is, you know, important. Internet access – LAN also available. (For those old-schoolers).
I loved the little touches, like the fresh flowers and the complimentary bottled water. Extra long bed? Yes, please. Bathroom? Private, with a separate shower and bathtub. (Score!) Now, the little things… the "room sanitization opt-out available" showed me they're aware of cleanliness and safety. Safe box? Needed it. The in-room safe has saved me a worrying moment.
Now, the imperfections - because let's be real. The "ironing facilities" consisted of an iron, but the ironing board was wobbly. Minor gripe, but I did have to channel my inner zen master while trying to smooth out my shirts for dinner. The room was clean, and they did “Rooms sanitized between stays,” which felt great.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking: Food Glorious Food (and the Occasional Mosquito Bite)
Okay, the food. SO MUCH FOOD! Asian breakfast, Western breakfast, a la carte, buffet… they have it all. Asian cuisine in restaurant, and even Western cuisine in restaurant! I'm not gonna lie, I dove headfirst into the Asian breakfast. The momos? Insane. The curries? Spicy, flavorful, and oh-so-satisfying. Coffee/tea in the restaurant, Coffee shop - They have it all.
The dining area… think open-air, with the jungle sounds all around you. Magical, right? Until a mosquito decides your ankle looks delicious. Pack bug spray. Seriously. Trust me.
Seriously though, the buffet was incredible. I stuffed myself silly. Breakfast [buffet] was amazing. Lots of options. They also offer a "Breakfast takeaway service." (Hangovers, anyone?)
The poolside bar is a MUST. Happy hour? OBVIOUSLY. Watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand? Pure bliss. Snack bar? Yup. And, for the vegetarians out there: Vegetarian restaurant! (My friend from my last trip was so happy)
They have: Room service [24-hour] – because sometimes you just want to order a pizza at 3 AM. They also have a Safe dining setup and Sanitized kitchen and tableware items and Alternative meal arrangement, also, they have Individually-wrapped food options. So, for safety, they've got you, my friend!
Things To Do & Ways to Relax: From Jungle Adventures to Spa Days (My Personal Nirvana)
Okay, this is where Royal Tiger really shines. Location, location, location. They're right on the doorstep of Chitwan National Park. Forget the stuffy museum tours; you're in the REAL jungle here.
First thing, they have a Fitness center, so you can work that vacation bod – IF you want to. I mostly stuck to the pool and the cocktails, but hey, choices! They have a Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, and a Pool with view.
And the spa… Oh. My. God. They have a Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, and Massage. I had a massage that was so good, I almost drooled. All worries melted away with every expertly kneaded muscle.
I saw some people getting a "Body scrub" and "Body wrap," but I was too busy indulging in pure bliss. (Maybe next time!)
Accessibility: This section touches on the resort's commitment to welcoming all guests, including those with disabilities. Mentioning the availability of facilities like elevators and ramps, and suggesting that guests with specific needs confirm details beforehand, is a good approach.
Cleanliness & Safety: The "Are We Safe?" Checklist (Turns Out, Yes!)
This is a biggie. I was impressed. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Staff trained in safety protocol? Check. They really seem to care.
Cashless payment service? YES. They have it.
They have "Safe dining setup" with "Sanitized kitchen and tableware items." A lot of people were concerned about the safety of dining, But they were all working hard to ensure a safe environment.

Family/child friendly? Absolutely. They have Kids facilities, which is awesome. Babysitting service? Yep. I saw some super cute kids running around, so if you’re travelling with the littles, you’re in good shape.

Concierge? Helpful. Doorman? Always welcoming. Laundry service? Yes. They have: Dry cleaning, Luggage storage, Elevator, Front desk [24-hour].

Internet and Connectivity:
The resort has Wi-Fi [free] and Internet access – LAN, so you can stay connected. "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" I mentioned this because it's important.
What REALLY Stood Out – My "Can't Believe This Happened" Moment
Okay, I need to tell you a story. I was wandering around the resort late one night, totally lost in thought. I stumbled upon this little shrine, a quiet, candlelit space nestled amongst the trees. It was utterly magical. I just sat there, breathing in the jungle, listening to the cicadas. One of the most peaceful, unexpected moments of my whole trip.
The Quirks, Flaws, and "Almost Perfect" Moments
Nothing is ever perfect. The "soundproofing" in my room probably wouldn't stand up to a rock concert. Don't worry, I found quiet, and a moment of peace. The "safety/security feature" was there.

Escape to Paradise: Hotel Rose, Villabassa, Italy - Your Dream Vacation Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly-polished Instagram travel blog. This is… well, this is me, stumbling through Chitwan National Park in Nepal, supposedly living the high life at the Royal Tiger Luxury Resort. And honestly? It's a rollercoaster.
Royal Tiger Resort: Chitwan Catastrophe… or Culinary Climax? (Let's find out!)
Day 1: Arrival & Jungle Jitters (and a Tiny Leopard Scare)
- 10:00 AM: Landed in Bharatpur. The airport? Let's just say it's intimate. My luggage arrived, miraculously (a testament to the gods of air travel). The resort pick-up was there, thankfully, a slightly rickety jeep that coughed its way through the dusty roads. Instantly, I felt like I was in a real-life Indiana Jones movie.
- 11:30 AM: Arrived at Royal Tiger. Whoa. Pictures don't do this place justice. Lush, green, and the kind of "luxury" that makes your jaw drop. Check-in was smooth, a welcome drink that was delicious, and, well, a welcome everything. "Here lies the pampered prince/princess", I thought as I entered my room.
- 12:30 PM: Lunch! I'm starving. Now, for the food. Uhhh… let's just say the buffet was… eclectic. I had some momos that were surprisingly good, and some kind of "Nepali Thali" that tasted suspiciously like… well, I'm not sure what it tasted like, but it was an experience.
- 2:00 PM: Jeep Safari! Oh boy. I'd heard tigers were around, it's in the name, right? The tour guide, a guy named Raj who looked like he'd wrestled crocodiles for fun, filled us in on the dos and don'ts. We went off into the jungle, and honestly, it was AMAZING. Saw rhinos up close, some crazy birds, and the sense of being somewhere truly wild… that was worth the price of admission. On the way back, we saw a small shadow in the bushes, then a flash of spots, and a small roar. A baby leopard! We were close, and I was terrified and amazing all at once.
- 6:00 PM: Sundowner cocktails overlooking the river! This was perfect. Sat there, sipping a G&T, watching the sunset paint the sky on fire. Pure bliss. Or was it?
- 7:30 PM: Dinner. Hmm, more buffet. The momos are still good. I was talking with my friends at home and told them the same.
- 9:00 PM: Jungle walks. "Spotlight safari", as they called it. It's pitch black, Raj and his colleague with a HUGE flashlight. We walked a bit, and were able to see a few of the jungle's nocturnal inhabitants.
Day 2: Elephant Encounters & a River of Regret (and a Deep Dive into the Dangers of the Jungle)
- 7:00 AM: Elephant back safari. This was the part I was most uneasy about before the trip, and oh boy was this an experience! It was slow. Very slow. Amazing views of the jungle, but I felt bad for the elephant. I hope it wasn't too uncomfortable carrying a bunch of tourists (like me, I admit) on its back. I also kept imagining my dad, who would absolutely love this, and the sadness of him not being there was palpable.
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast. More buffet. A little less enthusiastic this time. I’m starting to judge the momos.
- 10:00 AM: Okay, time for a boat ride! "Float down the Rapti River," they said. "See crocodiles," they said. "Relax," they said. It started off great, very peaceful. Until the boat hit a snag! Not a boat, but a log, that got pushed and nearly tipped us over. People started screaming. The guide did not look happy. Luckily, everyone was okay, but I spent the rest of the ride gripping the sides of the boat, convinced we were going to become croc food.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. I opted for room service today. Needed to recover from the boat incident. The chicken fried rice was surprisingly good. Maybe I'm starting to get used to the food.
- 2:00 PM: Nature walk. The guide, a new guy named Ashok, was super knowledgeable. He showed us footprints, explained how the jungle works, and how to survive in the wild. He also told me about an incident with an abandoned leopard cub, and the struggles the local wildlife experts went through. Incredible.
- 4:00 PM: Relaxation time. Reading a book by the pool. Bliss. Although, the incessant noise from the monkeys felt a little annoying.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. Okay, I'm starting to like the buffet again.
- 8:30 PM: I went swimming in the pool. The stars, though… the stars in Chitwan are breathtaking. I spent a long time just staring up at the sky, feeling incredibly small and incredibly connected to something bigger than myself.
Day 3: Farewell Chitwan (and a Final, Slightly Bitter, Blessing)
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast. Well, the momos are back, baby!
- 9:00 AM: Packing. This has been a wild ride. I was starting to feel like I was finally adapting to Nepal and Chitwan, and the resort, I could see its charm in a way.
- 10:00 AM: Check out. A bittersweet farewell to the Royal Tiger.
- 11:00 AM: Flight back to Kathmandu.
- 12:00 PM: Goodbye, Chitwan. You were a mess. You were scary. You were beautiful. And I wouldn't have traded a second of it.
So, there you have it. My Chitwan adventure. Not perfect, not polished, but utterly unforgettable. And hey, the momos weren't always bad. Remember, travel isn't about perfection, it's about the mess, the mishaps, and the moments that make you go, "Whoa." And for that, Royal Tiger, you delivered (mostly). But hey, at least I'll have some great stories.

Escape to Paradise: Royal Tiger Luxury Resort - The REAL FAQ (Because Let's Be Honest, You Need This)
Okay, so... is it REALLY "luxury"? Like, REALLY really? (Be honest, I can handle the truth!)
Alright, buckle up Buttercup, because 'luxury' is a slippery word. Let's just say… it *attempts* luxury. The rooms? Spot on, beautifully appointed. Think four-poster beds swathed in impossibly white linens (which, let's face it, I spent half the time trying not to spill my morning coffee on). The bathrooms? Glorious, with rain showers that feel like actual waterfalls on your weary traveler soul. The service, mostly excellent, though sometimes, let's just say, there's a bit of a communication hiccup. One time, I asked for a "small, plain breakfast omelet," and ended up with an omelet the size of a small child, loaded with everything *but* plain. (Good? Yes. What I wanted? No. Lesson learned: be VERY specific!). So yeah… luxury-ish. Definitely a step above backpacking, but maybe not, you know, the Burj Al Arab. Still gorgeous though!
Chitwan National Park… Tigers? Rhinos? Did you *SEE* anything cool? (Spill the tea!)
Oh, Chitwan. The wildlife. This is where things get… *interesting*. The resort organizes jeep safaris, and that IS a must-do, friends. I went twice (because, hello, I'm a sucker for a good adventure). Did I see a tiger? Nope. (Don't hate the player, hate the game – wildlife spotting is just luck sometimes!) Did I see a rhino? YES! Majestic beast, just casually munching grass, like it owned the place (which, let's be real, it probably does). Witnessing that rhino, a prehistoric-looking monster, was a serious "pinch me" moment. I also saw several types of deer, a few monkeys, and more birds than I could possibly identify (birdwatching is a whole other level of chill… and maybe a little boring, let's be honest). The guides are fantastic. They can spot a tiny speck of movement twenty miles away and weave you some amazing, and slightly exaggerated, stories. The second time? We got slightly stuck in the mud. The jeep was tilted for a good 45 minutes and all I could think was, "Well THIS is a story I never imagined!" But all round, a brilliant experience, and a must do.
What's the food like? (Because a hangry traveler is a dangerous traveler!)
The food… well, it's a mixed bag, just like life. The resort restaurant offers a fairly diverse menu, with both Nepali and international options. The Nepali dishes are AMAZING when they're at their best. The dal bhat (lentil soup and rice) is a game changer. Seriously, I'm still dreaming about it. However, sometimes, and I say this with the utmost respect...the international options maybe try a *little* too hard. I had a burger… let's just say it was not the highlight of my culinary journey. The breakfast buffet? Pretty standard, but with good coffee and that's the most important thing. The service can be slow, so don't be in a rush. Order a second coffee, and just relax. You're on vacation! And honestly, the view makes you forget about any minor food issues.
The Pool! The pool! Is it as Instagrammable as it looks? (Priorities, people!)
The pool is… gorgeous. Truly. Picture this: turquoise water, surrounded by lush greenery, and maybe, if you're lucky, a cheeky monkey or two watching you from the trees. It's practically begging for Instagram. And YES, I succumbed. I took way too many pictures. (Don't judge me!) But here's the thing: It gets busy, especially in the afternoons. And sometimes, the kids are having a screaming competition. But hey, that's life, right? Grab a good sunbed, a fancy cocktail (they do a mean margarita, by the way), and just soak it all in. The pool is worth the price of admission, and the perfect way to spend an afternoon after a sweaty safari.
What are the rooms *really* like? Cleanliness? Comfort? Give me the gritty details!
The rooms themselves are really lovely – I'm talking spacious, with balconies that overlook the jungle. They're thoughtfully designed, with nods to Nepali artistry, and generally spotlessly clean. The air conditioning worked *super* well, which is a lifesaver in the Chitwan heat. The beds are HUGE and comfortable – I slept like a log after those grueling jeep safaris, which is a massive thumbs up from me! The bathrooms are also amazing, with their rain showers. The only "gritty detail"? One minor issue. After the second Safari, there was a small snake at the entrance of my room. I screamed loudly, and the staff came and removed it immediately. I'm sure the staff get that all the time! But all in all, the rooms are really great - the location in the jungle means you're likely to see wildlife. Don't be too surprised!
Is there anything I should pack that I might not think of? (Travel pro tips, please!)
Okay, listen up, because I learned some of these lessons the hard way: * **Bug spray. Loads of it.** Seriously, you're in a jungle. They're hungry. I got eaten alive. * **Sunscreen. The sun in Chitwan is no joke.** Trust me. * **A decent pair of binoculars.** You'll thank me later. * **A waterproof bag.** For your phone and camera on the river. * **A sense of adventure and a healthy dose of patience.** Things move at their own pace in Nepal, and that's part of the charm. Try to embrace it. * **A travel adapter.** Duh. Never know when you may need to charge your phone for the next Instagram post. * **Finally, and this is crucial, a travel journal and a pen.** Write down your stories. You will have them.
Are there any "hidden fees" or costs I should be aware of? (Gotta watch that budget!)
Not really "hidden," but things to keep in mind: * **Park entrance fees.** These are separate from the resort cost, and can add up. * **Tips.** Bring some small bills (Nepali Rupees) for tipping the staff. The service is generally wonderful, and they appreciate it. * **Drinks.** Alcohol and some specialty coffees/teas aren't always included. Factor that into your budget if you enjoy a cocktail or two (or three, like I might have). * **Laundry.** The resort does laundry, but it's not free. * **Spa treatments.** They're available, and tempting, but at an extra cost.
