“A blissful family guesthouse among paddy fields and nature”
+Shanta Ghar is far away from the busier gateways to Chitwan national park in the district of Madi. Surrounded by paddy fields, simple wooden buildings, traditional agriculture and the hills covered with jungle on either side. I stayed in the beautiful traditional wooden building with so much character, huge rooms, and very simple amenities. They also have more modern style rooms with attached bathroom. Even though the family live in the building next door I slept so well, at night just blissful peace and quiet so hard to find these days. Hari and Deppa are perfect hosts, such kind, honest and generous people, I loved their company. They also have the most gorgeous well behaved and smart dog and his best friend another sweet dog from another home that hangs out all the time there. I could see just how kind Hari is by how he treated these dogs! The view all around the property is golden and green, the feeling peaceful and authentic. I was lucky to share a safari with two other girls staying at Shanta Ghar and we saw many Rhinos, Elephants, Crocodiles and interesting birds and had a super day, Hari never stopped looking to find another interesting thing to show us-he puts 100% into hi
−Nothing bad just a couple of suggestions: a fruit option for breakfast would be good and a bicycle to rent would be great

“wonderful people”
+it's a gorgeous homestead. we shared breakfast and dinner with the family and it felt truly like old friends chatting. the animals on the property are amazing! it is pretty remote- in that it's not close to anything (except the border) but we had our own bike so that wasn't an issue. It might be nicer to experience in winter as june heat was unbearable. they also offer safaris and seemed very knowledgeable about it.

“The absolute best place in entire Nepal!”
+Calm, quiet and far from the bitten track. The family is the nicest people I've met. The owner has an extensive knowledge about not only Chitwan but also the Himalaya mountains. The safari they organize is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, during which you can eat delicious meals in a jungle watching wildlife and cruise in a jeep spotting rhinos and elephants! They truly put so much care in everything the guests experience. If you want a unique moment away from all the touristy noise, this is a fantastic place! Sincerely recommend!

“Off the beaten track in Chitwan”
+Stay with welcoming and friendly family well off the beaten track. Our host arranged a safari in Chitwan for the day and we saw rhinos, elephants and many other wild animals and saw parts of Chitwan far away from the main tourist area. It wasn't very clear how to get there ... but it wasn't that hard. We left the Tourist bus at the first stop in Bharatpur (not the main stop - just ask the conductor for advice) and walked a short distance to the main bus terminal. After asking around a couple of times, we found the local bus to Madi and let the conductor know where we were staying. Then just sat until we were dropped off right outside the Guesthouse. The alternative option (and the one we wished we had taken) was to take a taxi/tuk-tuk to the Guesthouse - there is plenty of choice. This would be far quicker (the bus took 2+hours and the tuk-tuk would have been just over an hour).
−The bed was very hard and there is not a lot to do if you are not going on a safari.

+If you’re looking for an authentic homestay, in the middle of rural Nepal where you can relax and enjoy Nepalese culture and food, then this is the perfect place. The family is kind and helpful, the food was absolutely delicious and the surroundings are beautiful. The rooms are spacious though not super luxurious (which is to be expected being this far from commercial touristic places to be fair). They also arranged a jungle safari for us! We loved our stay here!
