Tiger Tops Karnali Lodge
Summary
Bardia National Park is Nepal’s largest and best-preserved wilderness area. Comprising over 370 square miles of protected jungle habitat, it provides a home for a plethora of unique flora and fauna - including the Bengal tiger, the one-horned rhinoceros, and the Gangetic dolphin. Situated on the park’s periphery, Karnali Lodge offers its guests the opportunity to experience this jungle wonderland firsthand, via a guided jeep or walking safari, or on the back of one of its eight domestic elephants. Karnali Lodge runs almost entirely off solar power, produces food created from its own organic farm, and uses local materials in the construction of its boutique living spaces. Because of this, Tree Tops Karnali Lodge has become as synonymous with sustainability as it is with luxury adventure travel.

By eliminating wheat, white rice and sugar from the menu, the Karnali dining experience aims to deliver mouth-watering flavour whilst simultaneously promoting wellbeing and rejuvenation.
