Chambal Safari Lodge is an excellent location for bird watchers and nature lovers. Guests are provided with a comprehensive checklist of not only birds but also mammals, reptiles and flora. We saw in excess of 112 bird species, seven reptile species and seven mammal species during our three night stay. Our naturalist guide was keen, enthusiastic, professional, personable and fun....

Chambal provides tranquility in a country short of this quality. Although not nearly as isolated as I had been led to believe, it still provided a quiet, peaceful, and enjoyable holiday trip. Our room was large, with a/c (not all rooms have a/c and you need it between mid-March and when they close at the end of April), and all... More

We had 2 nights at the lodge. The rooms are very nice, basic[that means no TV] rustic, but nice decor. Good beds and nice showers with hot water. It is a bit of a walk to the restaurant in the dark, but wasn't a problem for us [maybe for children or older persons] There are solar torches available in all... More

Just returned home from India - had a fabulous time at Chambal Lodge! Beautiful, rural location - gives you a pretty good picture of the "real" India away from the monuments and forts. Be sure to take a walk into the town, just a short walk through the Lodge's back gate. Very safe location. The Hornbill cottage is great for... More

The place is excellent in the midst of wildlife in forest and two rivers. The suite is spacious and very well decorated. Personnel were all friendly and the food was good. We did a river safari which was stunning with crocodiles, birds and dolphins. The sunset over a calm river were breathtaking. On the downside it was pricey. But hey,... More

We really enjoyed our time at Chambal. The cottage we stayed in was very comfortable. The staff and management were absolutely great. Breakfast was limited and just OK but the lunch and dinner buffets were wonderful. We had some of the best food we ate anywhere in India. The campfire was lit the first night and the owner greeted us... More

We had four lovely days in the lodge. Our room was one of the best we had in India - nicely furnished and well laid out. The food was really good and the lunch, served under the trees, was in a dream setting. The side trips they will arrange for you are fabulous and well worth the money and our... More

We stayed at Chambal for two days in Jan 2012. As the other reviewers say, it's kind of pricey, but there are lots of great things to do, especially for kids, and we had a lovely time. Our eight year old son rated it the best place I have every stayed" and he's a pretty tough customer when it comes... More

We were slightly worried thinking we will have not much to do if we were not serious bird watchers and our 9 year old son may complain. However, we were surprised with the absolute diversity of activities, and how accommodating the staff were. Apart from the wildlife, there is so much history and culture on offer. Our son was going... More
