How it works
|
- Here we have a brand new package from the pioneers of eco-sensitive travel to Nepal - Tiger Mountain - and this one is going to offer you an unforgettable 11 night journey discovering the wildlife of Nepal.
- For a start you will spend your first 3 nights in Kathmandu at the Soaltee Crown Plaza to get you well rested for the adventure ahead. Then it will be straight off to the legendary Tiger Tops Tented Camp in Chitwan, owned and operated by none other than Tiger Mountain.
To get there you will fly from Kathmandu to Meghauly and transferred to this idyllic camp. It is poised above a broad, grassy plain bounded by the Reu river.

- Set in perfect wilderness, Tiger Tops Tented Camp offers the ultimate in natural environment and an amazing in-depth experience of the jungle. There are twelve comfortable safari tents with twin or double bed options carefully sited to maximize the sweeping views over the tall alluvial grasslands, the calm Reu river, middle hills and the eternal snows of the Himalaya beyond.
And no, you won't be roughing it: each safari tent has an attached bamboo bathroom with toilet, basin and shower with hot water.

- Various jungle activities will be on offer each day, such as an Elephant safari through the towering grasslands in search of some of Asia’s finest game. You can also explore the surrounding jungle and grasslands on foot or by jeep, in the safe hands of expert guides some of whom have over 30 years of experience. Or why not try river safaris in traditional country boats to try and spot the endangered gharial crocodile?
- After four nights at Tiger Tops Tented Camp and jungle lodge you will fly back to Kathmandu to connect with your onward flight to Nepalgunj - the nearest airstrip to the superb Tiger Tops Karnali Lodge and Camp. The transfer from the airport takes about 2 hours and you will pass through many fascinating Tharu villages along the way.

- Set on the edge of Royal Bardia National Park in far west Nepal, Karnali Lodge and Tented Camp offers each visitor the chance to explore the most undisturbed wilderness area in the Terai lowlands.
- The Park has a rich and varied wildlife and is home to endangered species including the One Horned Rhinoceros, the Royal Bengal Tiger and the Gangetic Dolphin, a very rare species with a limited population found only in the Ganges River of Nepal and India. There is wild elephant too, leopard, blue bull, sambar and swamp deer as well as 300 species of bird recorded.

- The most spectacular and colourful villages of the indigenous Tharu people surround the park and the jungle lodge embraces much of the Tharu architecture offering a perfect mix of nature, culture, adventure and luxury. Your time here will be split between the Karnali Lodge (2 nights) and the Tented Camp (2 nights).
- Overlooking the snow-fed waters of the Karnali River, Karnali Tented Camp is one of the most enchanting jungle camps in Asia. The comfortable and spacious tents are complete with twin beds and en suite bamboo bathrooms with piping hot water. And Nepali and Western Cuisine is served around the campfire and the fully-stocked bar is open until the last guest retires.

- As at Karnali Jungle Lodge a wide variety of activities are possible from Karnali Tented Camp from where one can explore the park on elephant back, in a dug-out canoe, on foot or by jeep.
- After your time at Karnali it will be back to Kathmandu by plane for a final night in Nepal at the Soaltee Crown Plaza, a fantastic farewell dinner and memories to treasure for lifetime.
Bid here for this amazing wildlife opportunity.
