We just returned from a few days at the Sapana Village Lodge and it was absolute bliss after time spent in Kathmandu. The rooms were simple, but clean & safe. The property is laid out with lots of green space, swings, areas to chill outside and a nice open air restaurant that looks out onto a small river. We spent... More

We stayed for 3 nights with our two kids (9 & 10) in this comfortable lodge with spacious, leafy gardens. The very kind manager helped us organise our itinerary of visits to the park and arranged for the kids to bathe with an elephant in the river at the rear of the hotel - which they adored. We thoroughly recommend... More

During my stay i was amazed by the surroundings, the countryside which is still natural and rich in wildlife. With Dhurba i had a great time, he took me to a lot of spots you would never think of going as a tourist. Seeing the local villages and meet the local people was interesting and fun.

Sapana village lodge is a haven in a somewhat touristy village and staying here definitely made the difference between an ok stay (if we had stayed in Sauraha), to a fantastic stay which was a highlight of our Nepal trip. The lodge is slightly out of town, but they lend you free bikes and it only takes 5 mins to... More

Sapana is really a fun place to stay, especially with children. Unlike many of the other nearby hotels it is set in a very spacious garden, with lots of space between the various accommodations. There is plenty of space to relax (or play). Also unlike most of the other hotels, it is quite far out of town, which means it... More
