Introduction:
Established in the early 60s in the lush sub-tropical jungles of the Terai of Nepal for wildlife enthusiasts, Tiger Tops Jungle Lodge is the pioneer wildlife safari lodge of Nepal and Asia . Tiger Tops is located in the heart of Nepal ’s premier Chitwan National Park ; a world heritage site and provides sensible comfort and skilled staff to ensure the finest wildlife safaris in Asia today . Chitwan is one of Asia ’s richest and most spectacular wildlife sanctuaries and in 2003 iExplore, rated this park as one of the best “Wildlife Safari Destinations of the World”.
Tiger Tops Jungle Lodge (TTJL), in common with the entire Tiger Mountain Group, practices environmentally responsible and sustainable conservation tourism. Our lodges and camps are used as models throughout Asia . Tiger Tops Jungle Lodge’s famous tree houses and bungalows are built with sustainable natural materials. The lodge has twenty guest rooms with double, single and triple bed options available. Each room has solar powered reading lamps, ceiling fans, attached modern bathrooms equipped with solar-heated showers. The Lodge’s photovoltaic solar power plant is the largest in Nepal .
A feature of the lodge is the circular Dining Hall and Bar called a Gol Ghar with its huge domed roof and central open hearth; a special place to relax with friends and discuss the day’s adventures and wildlife seen. The lodge has a reputed kitchen that serves a range of western and Nepali cuisine utilizing fresh organic food supplies. All meals, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and light snacks are included in the rate. Special menus are available for children, those with special dietary needs and the kitchen can also supply a range of Japanese dishes on request. The fully stocked bar will provide international cocktails and a range of special local ones such as the renowned Tiger Tops Special. A selection of wines is also available. Each evening a range of complimentary snacks and nibbles are provided to go with evening drinks before dinner. The bar remains open until the last guest retires.
As the focus of the Lodge is wildlife safaris, you can expect the finest naturalists and guides available in Nepal. Unlike any other lodge in Chitwan, all Tiger Tops’ naturalists have passed a rigorous examination and have more individual years’ experience than the combined expertise of many other organizations. With highly trained elephants, environmentally cared-for vehicles and safe river boats, safaris can cover the surrounding jungles in search of Chitwan’s wildlife – the Royal Bengal Tiger, Asian One-horned Rhinoceros, Indian bison – known as Gaur in Nepal – Sloth Bear, Leopard, Golden backed Jackal, four deer species and a wealth of bird life. One of the highlights of a visit to Tiger Tops is a jungle walk with an expert naturalist to spot rare birds and learn the diverse uses of local plants for medical and culinary purposes.
Apart from being a tourism organization, Tiger Tops Jungle Lodge is also the initiator of “Responsible” or “Sustainable Tourism” in Nepal long before Ecotourism became a buzzword. Tiger Tops, in association with the UK charity International Trust for Nature Conservation (ITNC), conducts a range of research programmes and data collection, making this available to national authorities, individual researchers and other charities. The lodge has been recognized internationally as a leader in anti-poaching, wildlife crime and conservation activities.
Tiger Tops, although located in the remote jungle, employs many local staff and is honoured to have been part of the community for over 40 years. The Lodge organizes and supports a range of community programmes, education, rural health, family planning and other activities to enhance rural livelihoods and sustainability of the community.
Nothing can quite capture the mystical experience of travelling through the primeval grasslands of Chitwan atop an elephant that is rumbling its suspicions that a tiger is on the prowl in the first light of day. Come and experience this magic with Nepal ’s leading conservation organisation supported through tourism.
