About
Small on purpose, warm by default
Sauraha Cottage is run by a family who puts everything into it, from the gardens to the kitchen. It is close enough to walk into town and quiet enough to hear the birds. You are looked after by the people who own the place.
Family-run
Personal hospitality from a host family, not a front desk.
Garden to table
Vegetables picked from our own garden for fresh, flavourful meals.
Quiet, but close
A short walk from the busy main street of Sauraha.
Wildlife
Seen from our gate
Greater one-horned rhinos wander out of the national park into the fields around the cottage. These photos were all taken at our gate.
Rhinos are wild animals. Watch from behind the gate, keep your distance and never approach one on foot. Sightings are never guaranteed.

The family puts 100% into their business, from the beautiful gardens to picking organic vegetables for fresh and flavourful meals. The best I have had in Nepal, might I add.
Comfortable rooms with AC, delicious food, and excellent hospitality. The hotel arranged a wonderful National Park tour with a guide, a cultural dance program, a canoe ride, and a visit to the Elephant Breeding Center.
Such a peaceful getaway, yet everything you need is within easy reach. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Rooms are affordable and comfortable.
The prices are very reasonable, the portion sizes are generous, and the service is excellent. I felt very welcomed and satisfied.
The atmosphere was calm and comfortable, very peaceful and quiet, perfect for relaxing and enjoying a meal. The service was friendly and quick.
