We stayed at Maruni Sanctuary lodge near Chitwan and it also was very good. The guys at Maruni were really great and we almost felt embarrassed how well they treated us > the food is great > the best we had in nepal> we saw rhinos on our elephant trek which was a great experience also saw crocodiles and loads of other jungle animals > would strongly recommend going to Chitwan and staying at Maruni 3/2/2006
