Tiger Tops Karnali Lodge

Top choice in Bardia National Park


Run by the same pioneering team as Tiger Tops in Chitwan, this top-end lodge is set on the southern edge of the buffer zone near Thakurdwara and offers the most experienced wildlife guides in Bardia. Accommodation is in stylish Tharu-style cottages; the signature rooms could be used for a safari fashion shoot. And the food! Every course is consistently above par.

Package rates include all meals and activities (park fees and local transfers are extra), including jeep drives, rafting and jungle walks. Thank them for boldly leading the charge for elephant welfare.
