Sauraha

Laid-back Sauraha is known as a gateway to sprawling Chitwan National Park, just across the Rapti River, with rhinos, tigers, and crocodiles inhabiting its tropical forests. Low-key safari lodges dot the district, alongside down-home cafes and restaurants serving Nepalese specialties like momo dumplings.

I found it an absolutely amazing experience witnessing the cultural shows at the Sauraha Tharu Culture House, when visiting Nepal. These shows were nothing short of spectacular, leaving a lasting impression on all of us who had the privilege of experiencing them then. Moreover, beyond the sheer entertainment value, these performances served as invaluable educational experiences, offering invaluable insights into the history, beliefs, and values that shape Tharu identity. For anyone seeking an unforgettable cultural experience that transcends boundaries and enriches the soul, these shows come highly recommended.

An entertaining dance shows by local ethnic Tharu members. An hour long dance show in evening is one of the memorable shows during visit of Sauraha

It's nice to see the culture and the energy the performers bring. 3 star because the mic audio can't be understood and audience made lots of noise. It would be better if they asked the audience to be silent.

Enjoyed the cultural dance and each of them telling a story. The skills of the percussion was really good. The dhols were a nice treat as they harmonise with their voices. The peacock dance was a a highlight.

It was really wonderful cultural performance by tharu community who have created a platform for themselves to preserve and showcase their culture and traditions to the world. If you are in sauraha for jungle safari then do not forget to mark up this place in your list as in the end you will be mesmerised. The show is all about different forms of dance performed by tharu community(boys, girls, men and women) throughout the year in different seasons. The show begins right after the dusk, around 7pm lasting for about 1 and a half hour with 5 to 6 performances of various forms of their traditional dances in a wholesome traditional attire with their own instruments. Long stick dance, short stick dance, fire dance, peacock dance etc. are different forms of dances performed here for the visitors. Peacock dance is epic as the moves are so smooth and fluent as if some peacock has came and is performing. During the last dance performance do not hesitate to go to the stage and dance ;) Entry is based on tickets and the prices are nominal. The hall is fully air conditioned with a slight touch of theatre. I have some videos which i will be posting. One genuine setback which i have faced during the show is that the lady who is describing and handling the stage has to be little soft with her english accent as it was becoming difficult to understand the descriptions in between. Overall the show was super and what i have learnt from them is to preserve and conserve one's heritage, customs, culture and traditions.

Elephant Breeding Center

Mentioned on 
Wildlife rescue service
Nature & Parks
The Elephant Breeding Center is a family-friendly wildlife refuge where visitors can observe elephants of all ages and learn about their care and feeding. The center has recently been upgraded with a large bridge that allows for easy crossing of the river. While there are many elephants to see, it's important to note that this is primarily a breeding and training center. Visitors must pay NRs 50 for admission and can observe mother and child elephants as well as an adult elephant's skull.
Very cute little elephants roaming free is the best view. Lots of elephants here. This place has upgraded since the last time with a huge bridge that's just across the river which else had to be crossed on a canoe made of tree hollowed out. It's a nice place to meet nature but. It's a breeding and training center for elephants.

Good place to watch elephants, we need to cross a bridge on foot to reach this place. Bridge in itself is an adventure. Good place to visit in area, one can spend around 45 minutes here including bridge walk. Entry ticket 100 NPR for foreigners!

You have to pay NRs 50 for ticket to entry. You can observe mother elephants and child elephants. There is a adult elephant's skull too. Since this is breeding center, don't expect too much as a visitor. If this is your first time then you will enjoy it.
AMAR THAKURI — Google review
Fun experiences,especially for kids. Visit before 8 am in the morning,im summer ,as the weather will be cool and pleasant. Also, at around 9 am, the elephant leaves to graze in the jungle. Or visit after 4:30 in the evening.
bipashwi uprety — Google review
The place is nice. But not much you can expect. These looked like more for short stay elephants. You will see some small once’s running around or being chained near their mothers. The place can be visited in the morning within an hour max. Nothing much to do or see. The place is serene and nice for an early morning stroll. If you are lucky you may see a group of deers wondering outside the breeding area.
John L — Google review
You can see bunch ko elephants and their kids. Nothing much but is a pleasant and peaceful place. I did take a short walk in the jungle, so reaching the breeding center was somewhat of a relief. The entry fee is 50 rupee for Nepalese citizen. They claim that the fee is used for the welfare of the elephants.

Oh my God .... Just loved the way it has segregated sections of mother elephants and their calf. A view that eyes really love to behold Can be visited by all aged .... if they are comfortable in walking . Jeeps also take you to that breeding hub . Horse carts , bicycle an be taken on rent . Such lovely sight to see babies enjoy watching them . Tooooooo goood
Richa Lunia — Google review
Elephants that are bred here are called ‘working elephants’ which means they will be used for breeding, elephant rides, elephants safaris, for various other work their entire lives. When I was taken I saw many animals rocking back and forth which is a sign of stress and depression in elephants. There is a room which explains how the spirit of baby elephants are broken to make sure they are obedient to the mahouts. That’s not how these gentle giants should be living their lives. Please don’t support animal cruelty. Nepal has stunning mountains and beautiful people, visit and enjoy those attractions but not this place where elephants are chained and used for work.

It's a good project by government of Nepal. Elephants are breeded in protected environment with proper care by doctors and veterinary. Very impressed with overall care and facilities available for elephants here.
ashish a — Google review
This is a pretty sad place to visit. No one in Nepal will be honest to tourists especially about animal cruelty. Ironic when elephants are considered a god, but one religion that is the most important to our guide is ‘tourism’ and that is the only reason this EBC is operating. To breed elephants that will continue to work and safari and bring in the tourists money. I was excited as I thought a breeding centre meant they were breeding them for the wild… this is not the case. They are bred into captivity. Born a slave. Die a slave. 😢 we need to stop this sort of animal abuse.
Courtney Jones — Google review
Worth to visit if you go to the park and safari as well but don't expect much. It's more like a parking lot for elephants than a breeding center. You can see little cute elephants playing with each other which is really lovely but if you want to see more realistic and natural breeding center, you might want to go to Sri Lanka

❌️❌️!!! These elefants need to be saved from this horrible life !!!❌️❌️ Really Really bad 🐘🔨 Far away, we heard the elephant making sounds. It sounded like a scream of pain and fear💔. When we came more nearby, we saw the man hitting the elephant really hard with the hammer on his head to push him and make the elephant follow his commands. This was only a short footage of the day, and it shows directly a lot of how they treat those poor caged animals behind the scenes and before the scenes. The other reviews online say more then enough!! DON'T GO TO THIS KIND OF ANIMAL ABUSERS 🐘🔨 ❌️❌️!!! These elephants need to be saved from this horrible life !!!❌️❌️ 🤍🌿🐘 When you like to see elephants visit and support the organisation: 'Stand up for elephants' also located in Sauraha this non profit organisation is helping these kind of elephants that life in those horrific circumstance.🐘🌿🤍

The Elephant Breeding Centre at Chitwan National Park offers a unique insight into elephant conservation. While the experience was informative and the elephants well-cared-for, a four-star rating reflects room for improvement in certain aspects.

The museum features artifacts and exhibits that offer insights into the lifestyle, traditions, and beliefs of this fascinating population. This petite institution endeavors to preserve the unique cultural heritage of the Tharu people while providing visitors with a deeper understanding of their customs and practices.

The museum is clean and you can feel the aura of the Tharu people settled all around Nepal. Great job Team. Dont forget to visit.

Well, Tharu Cultural Museum & Research Center is one of the famous cultural museum which is located in the city of Bachhauli. It represents the detailed view of Tharu culture and their lifestyle. It is undeniable that the museum is easily accessible. We can go there by bike, car, taxi, auto, rickshaw, bus, and so on. Peple with wheelchair can easily go there. We can purchase ticket outside and visit the museum with family and friends. The price is very reasonable. The museum is full of information along with pictures and sculptures which provide the detailed overview of the Tharu culture and their lifestyle. I strongly recommend people to visit this place and enjoy the time with family and friends. 🙏

Great museum that portrays history of Tharu people with informative notes. Besides it has on display the rich culture and traditions of Tharus, that range from birth rituals, marriage, festivals to death.

Beautiful place to vist. It has a lot of ancient stuffs. This place holds a lot of information about the tharu people. Tharu were the dominant resident of terai region. There are a lot of cultural stuffs of these people. Many dummy model to show the cultural dresses of this ethnicity. There are a lot of photographs showing the hunting done by ancient king of Nepal which i don't loved cuz i don't like to see any animal being hunt or curled.
Shree Krishna — Google review
I suggest to visit this place while you are in Sauraha area .. your perception toward Tharu will change.. you will understand cultural and historical part of Tharu's in Nepal . The museum is just 20 min walking distance from Sauraham Rhino Chowk and if you take 3 wheeler it is 5-6 min drive.. Student get 50% discount on Entry fee so do not forget to bring your card ... Value for money to visit and experience
Lila Baniya — Google review
The traditional culture and lifestyle is on a rapid pace of Change. Those people were the most primitive settlers in the Tarai Region of Nepal. The culture of going abroad has greatly contributed to the well being of society. However, it has also contributed to the change of their day to day culture and life style with the modern style buildings and western or non Tharu food. This Museum is keeping the some of the informations on the traditional Tharu Culture.

The establishment boasts a lovely garden where patrons can indulge in a serene candlelight dinner accompanied by chilled beer, providing an opportunity to escape the city's chaos.
My go to place for dinner, lunch or breakfast in Sauraha. First of all, I love the ambience and music of this place, and the decorations, it feels so touristy! They have a beautiful garden. I enjoy having candle light dinner in this garden with a bottle of chilled beer, feels very relaxing and peaceful, away from the hustle of Sauraha. The menu is extensive, a proper continental restaurant. The food is good. The pricing is also surprisingly cheaper in comparison to restaurants in Kathmandu. Pizza gas good amount of cheese. You get Sizzlers and Mexican food as well. A wide variety of alcohol and coffee. You won't find a better place is Sauraha.

Sauraha is a tourist place, but that doesn't justify charging rates equivalent to a 4-star hotel for food in a restaurant. This pricing might be suitable for foreigners but not for local people who visit for lunch or dinner. It's too expensive for the average taste offered. They have added a Nepalese cultural program, which is something new, but it's still too overrated.

One of the best restaurants in Sauraha. I love the ambience and the music they play. The place is really clean, so is the bathroom. You can sit indoors or on a small balcony overlooking the sauraha road. For indoors they have AC, which is a must during summers and mind it,very few restaurants in Sauraha have AC. You can also sit on the bar. The coffee is very good, they have l!the varieties. I have no complaints about the food. I think this is the only place is Sauraha where you will get wood fired pizza and they also serve olive oil, chilli flakes and oregano. The bathroom is really clean. The staff are friendly. I don't find this place expensive in comparison to similar services in Kathmandu. Do visit!

Good freshly cooked food, reasonably priced drinks and great craft Sherpa beer. Attention to detail in all respects - in a different league. ... and the rest room is super clean!

We loved the Iced Americano and Iced Cappuccino. Honey on the side was delicious. 💛 The Mushroom soup was fresh and so smooth. The French fries were crisp and hot - good for a traveler’s stomach. Be sure to get the Banana Fritters - wow! 💛💛 The atmosphere is relaxing and clean, a great place to watch elephants wander by the window.

Really amazing place. Their momos are amazing and so was all the other food I tried there. We almost went there everyday after the first time we ate there. The coffee is great and the staff are always so kind and welcoming. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable and I would totally recommend a visit here!

I had breakfast at this place and it was amazing. They served fresh fruits and a delicious omelette. The best part was that it was cooler inside than outside. In an area that can reach 40 degrees Celsius, it was nice to enjoy a meal in a comfortable setting.

Hands down the best coffee in town! The food is also delicious weather you’re wanting a fresh breakfast smoothie bowl, mo mo or a nice craft beer in the evening. We went several times during our stay and enjoyed each time. Thanks you!

Very nice little art carve and l must say the Art is very good. Very relaxed feel and good music being played. It was quite busy at the time l went tho still got a table. Greeting and service was friendly and the young female waitress was so nice and always smiling which is fantastic. I ordered the grilled chicken salad and it was a lot different than l pictured in my weird brain as it looked very different tho it was really tasty & full of flavour. I also ordered their crispy chicken burger to take away as l had seen the reviews on them. OMG it is by far the best Chicken burger l have had in Nepal hands down. It’s even up there easily in the top 10 best that I’ve had anywhere in the WORLD 🌍.GREAT SIZE, NOT TO BIG while keeping it simple and not going over board. It’s 5stars from me all the way. Well done Art Cafe Crew 🤘🏼 Ps- l never got a photo of the burger as l didn’t have time to get the camera out before l devoured it 🤩👌

The best coffee in all Sauraha ( at least in my opinion) extremely good aroma + flavor and good strength. I kept going back for the cappuccino. Tried other dishes as well like the Minestrone Soup, Sandwich, pizza etc and i have to say all were just perfect! Staff and owner are very nice service is quick as well.

Food was okay, had fried rice and my partner had the crispy chicken burger, We laughed so hard when the burger came out as they gave 10 fries with the burger, incredibly small portion! My fried rice was tasteless. Only good thing was beer on tap. Definitely tourist prices too…

Really great coffee, and an awesome breakfast in both taste and presentation. The cafe is covered in really cool art, and the front entrance with garden is most inviting. Highly recommended
