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.
