PREMIER WILDLIFE VIEWING DESTINATIONS
Calling all nature lovers, Kasara Resort offers simple luxury on the border of Nepal’s most visited national park.
Surrounded by mature gardens and flowering plants, Kasara Resort stands in harmony with its natural environment. Accommodation is provided in 37 minimalist, Balinese-style rooms with an emphasis on clean lines and neutral furnishings that create a light and airy space for guests to relax in. Each has its own water-garden courtyard and private sundeck, while the Family Rooms enjoy the addition of private plunge pools. As well as growing its own organic vegetables and fruits, the resort sources the ingredients for its restaurant from nearby communities.
Providing sanctuary for rare rhinos, Bengal tigers and various species of monkey and deer, UNESCO-listed Chitwan is one of Asia’s premier wildlife viewing destinations. Perfectly placed on the edge of the park, Kasara invites guests to explore the jungle with the help of expert naturalists on wonderful canoe and jeep safaris. You can also set out on foot for some bird spotting, or borrow a bike to explore nearby villages. In the evenings, vibrant cultural performances are put on by members of the local Tharu community.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
