A small group of business friends drove together from KTM to visit Chitwan Park and we booked one night at Sapana Village Lodge. The experience was top notch from the welcome we received to the relaxing patios, our rooms and - the best part - the jeep safari into the park. We took a half day tour with Janak and he was the best guide and naturalist we could have had. He knew to shepherd us quickly to our jeep and get a head start in front of the crowds. He was very knowledgeable about the birds - able to identify them visually as well as by their calls - and all of the wildlife that we saw along the way. He made sure that we saw as much wildlife as possible, even toward the end of the safari taking a small side trip to see a rhino. It's clear he loves his job and sharing his knowledge with us - I highly recommend him as your guide. The best part was we were fortunate enough to cross paths with a bengal tiger - once in a lifetime experience. I hope to get back to SVL again next time I'm in Nepal!
