Hotel Overview

Pioneer eco-luxury safari lodge in Bardia featuring Full Board dining, included wilderness adventure safaris, en-suite Signature rooms.

Framed by the ancient sub-tropical sal forests and riverine grasslands of Bardia National Park, Tiger Tops Karnali Lodge represents the ultimate sanctuary for ethical wildlife conservation, high-impact tiger tracking, and sustainable luxury in Far-Western Nepal.

Nestled in a serene buffer zone on the edge of Nepal’s premier wild tiger territory, Tiger Tops Karnali Lodge delivers an intimate, eco-conscious retreat designed to immerse guests in pristine natural surroundings. Blending traditional Tharu mud-brick craftsmanship with modern sanctuary comforts, the lodge features en-suite Signature Rooms with private balconies, authentic Traditional Rooms, an outdoor swimming pool, and an organic vegetable farm. Operating with zero-impact environmental protocols, solar energy, and plastic-free standards, Karnali Lodge stands as a beacon of luxury conservation.

The published room rates for this property are provided on a Full Board Plan basis (Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included) and encompass all core adventure activities, including guided 4WD tiger tracking safaris, river boat excursions, ethical elephant encounters, and wilderness nature walks.

As a signature wilderness retreat and private charter destination curated by Ghale Treks bespoke travel planners, stays at Tiger Tops Karnali Lodge serve as an exclusive base for VVIP wildlife safaris. To complement your stay, bespoke air and ground transfers from Kathmandu – including direct private helicopter charters landing near the lodge, fixed-wing flight connections to Nepalgunj Airport (KEP), and seamless VIP ground handling—as well as custom South Asian DMC itineraries across Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, can be seamlessly arranged upon request through Ghale Treks & Expedition at additional tailored charges.
