Nestled on the periphery of the splendid Bardia National Park, Nepal’s largest wilderness area, lies the exquisite Tiger Tops Karnali Lodge. Set against the humbling enormity of the Himalayas, it’s a place of extraordinary beauty. This intimate lodge offers nine chic and contemporary suites, dressed in soft natural colours and fabrics that encapsulate traditional Nepali design and feel. While you’re treated to the epitome of service and comfort, you can rest assured: each suite has been designed to minimize its impact on the environment, and the lodge runs almost entirely on solar power. The property is close to self-sufficient, featuring its own vegetable garden which provides the kitchen with fresh organic produce. Explore Bardia National Park by foot or by jeep, keeping an eye out for tigers, rhinos, elephants, crocodiles, leopards and deer. Take a mesmerizing river safari or morning elephant safari and get your adrenaline fix rafting on grade two to five rapids. Trek amidst the snowcapped peaks of the tallest mountains in the world. Or simply relax closer to home in the lodge’s sunny gardens and get to know its eight resident elephants.

The great outdoors beckons, and you can choose to spend your time trekking, birdwatching or exploring the nearby Phewa Lake.
