When we began planning our trip to Chitwan, we knew we wanted something a little different. Rather than the typical resort stay or hotel-based safari, we were looking for a more intimate and immersive experience—something that would bring us closer to nature and allow us to truly connect with the jungle in a meaningful way. That’s when we came across the idea of staying in a tree house deep inside the Chitwan jungle—an experience known as a "Tower Night Stay." It sounded perfect for what we were seeking.
We sent inquiries to several local operators, but it was Raj from Getaway Nepal Adventure who responded promptly and warmly, standing out immediately. Not only did he provide detailed information about the Tower Night Stay, but he also gave us confidence with his professionalism, responsiveness, and deep knowledge of the area. After a few thoughtful and informative email exchanges, we confirmed our booking for a 2-night tower stay combined with a full jungle safari experience.
From the very beginning, the trip was incredibly well-organized. We were met by our guide upon arrival, who remained with us throughout the experience. Friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about wildlife, our guide set the tone for a journey that was both adventurous and deeply enriching.
Arriving at the tower—essentially a comfortable treehouse structure elevated above the forest floor—we were struck by how peaceful and serene everything felt. Tucked away in the jungle, the location was remote, quiet, and magical. The structure itself was rustic yet well-maintained, offering all the basic comforts while preserving the authentic feel of staying inside a forest sanctuary.
As evening settled, the sounds of the jungle came alive. Birds calling from the treetops, the rustle of leaves as animals moved below, and the gentle hum of nature all around created an atmosphere unlike anything we’d experienced before. We slept incredibly well, enveloped by the natural world, far from any urban lights or sounds. The experience of drifting off to sleep to the songs of the forest was both humbling and meditative.
Over the course of our stay, we were lucky enough to see a wide variety of wildlife. From majestic rhinos wandering near the water, to a rare glimpse of wild elephants, herds of deer, sloth bears, and countless bird species, the sightings were nothing short of magical. The jungle felt alive in every direction, and each outing brought new surprises.
Our stay wasn’t just about sleeping in the tower—it was a comprehensive jungle experience. The package included guided jungle walks, a peaceful canoe trip down the Rapti River, and birdwatching tours at dawn, all of which were executed with a focus on safety and respect for the natural environment. We felt like explorers, yet never unsafe, thanks to the experience and calm assurance of our guides.
The meals were another highlight of our stay. Simple, wholesome, and prepared with care, each dish was a reminder of Nepal’s warm hospitality. We especially appreciated how meals were served fresh and tailored to our preferences. Dining under the open sky, surrounded by trees and accompanied by jungle sounds, made each meal feel like a celebration.
What truly set this experience apart was the balance between adventure and tranquility. There was an undeniable thrill in staying deep within a national park, but it was matched by an overwhelming sense of peace and connection to nature. The solitude, the rich biodiversity, the star-filled skies at night—it all combined into something far more meaningful than just another tour activity.
We can’t thank Raj and the team at Getaway Nepal Adventure enough for arranging such a special and memorable journey for us. Every detail, from communication before the trip to the on-ground execution, was seamless. It was clear that this wasn’t just a business for them—it was a passion for creating genuine, impactful travel experiences.
If you're someone who’s looking to step away from the ordinary and dive into something truly unique, we wholeheartedly recommend the Tower Night Stay in Chitwan. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a chance to experience the jungle on its own terms, to slow down, and to appreciate the natural world in all its beauty and unpredictability.
This was, without a doubt, one of the most unforgettable parts of our Nepal journey. We returned from the jungle not just with photos and stories, but with a deeper sense of calm, awe, and respect for the incredible ecosystems that still exist in places like Chitwan.
Thank you once again to Getaway Nepal Adventure—this was truly the experience of a lifetime.
