Tiger Tops Karnali Lodge and Tented Camp are
situated in the Royal Bardia National Park in far west Nepal.
Accessible by flight from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj, a trip which
offers breathtaking views of the Himalaya, followed by a 2 hour
scenic drive along the East West Highway through the lowlands of
Nepal passing many fascinating Tharu villages.Tiger Tops Nepal has
pioneered adventure tourism in far West Nepal with the opening of a
uniquely styled Jungle Lodge on the edge of the Royal Bardia
National Park and a comfortable Tented Camp within the park, 18 kms
north of the Lodge on the banks of the great Karnali River.
Approximately 1000 sq kms in area, the park has a rich and varied
wildlife - wild elephant, the Greater One Horned rhinoceros,
leopard, blue bull, sambar and swamp deer, Chital (spotted deer),
wild boar, and the most magnificent of cats, the Royal Bengal Tiger.
Bardia is remote and still relatively unexplored, but over 300
species of birds have been recorded here. The park is surrounded by
villages of some of the most spectacular and colourful Tharu tribal
peoples.
Tiger Tops Karnali offers a unique wildlife cultural and adventure
experience. The lodge, built appropriately from local materials, is
decorated in the style of the Tharus and blends perfectly with its
surroundings. Its twelve double rooms with attached bathrooms offer
comfortable accommodation whilst the central dining area and a well
stocked bar provide an ideal setting for dining and relaxing.
Over looking the snow-fed waters of the Karnali River is one of the
most enchanting jungle camps in Asia - Tiger Tops Karnali Tented
Camp. Patterned after the famous Tiger Tops Tented Camp in Royal
Chitwan National Park, it offers the same high class
facilities-spacious safari tents with twin beds, separate hot and
cold showers and modern jungle toilet amenities. A fully stocked bar
is open until the last guest retires. Nepali and Western cuisine is
served around the campfire.
Tiger Tops Karnali Lodge and Tented Camp, in conjunction with its
affiliate Himalayan River Exploration, has introduced river running
on the Bheri and Karnali Rivers. White water and scenic float trips
are arranged for several days through the exciting rapids, deep
gorges, forested hillsides and remote villages of these little known
rivers before arriving at Tiger Tops Karnali Tented Camp. |
