Kasara is a luxury jungle resort, set on the outskirts of Chitwan National Park, in south-central Nepal. The property blends a lush natural setting with modern comforts in a jungle environment that is home to a wide variety of wildlife. In the 1960s, the lodges in the Chitwan Park were seen as visionaries, with many of their ideas taken to Africa and India, while it suffered from insurgency. But Chitwan has now risen to the challenge and new additions like Kasara are coming to life.
Inspired by the Palace that once stood in the area, Kasara Resort is designed along the principle of 'simple luxury'; a blend of nature and contemporary design. It houses just 35 rooms and two, family suites, with private water-garden sundeck and indoor and outdoor bathrooms while the family suites have their own pool. The in-house restaurant offers both Nepali and Western cuisine served in the main dining hall and an upstairs bar features over 50 different wines.
Wildlife safaris is the main reason guests come to stay at Kasara Resort. It has some of the best guides, their own elephants and modified jeeps. Elephants are best to wade through elephant grass that allows a high vantage to see the one-horned rhino or tiger. Jeep safaris are often used for birdwatching and local excursions. Other activities include bush walks and cycling to nearby villages. Back at the hotel, there is a large swimming pool and spa offering a range of treatments.
