Into the wild with Tiger Tops Tharu Lodge

It takes a special type of hospitality to create a lodge that enjoys its wilderness and endeavors in acknowledging the beauty of the giant elephants.

Tiger Tops has always been known as Nepal’s legendary pioneer in promoting responsible tourism. It became a must-see destination for adventurers who enjoyed the peaceful thrill of wilderness in the early sixties. Fast forward 50 years and Tiger Tops still is one of the perfect resorts to enjoy hospitality in the wilderness. It is a perfect place to unwind from the busyness of life to get into a total zen holiday mood. Relaxed and cozy with a distinct Tharu ambient Tiger Tops Tharu Lodge is ‘happiness at wilderness’ come true.

The letter in my room had made me euphoric just for its kind words. I was in awe with this traditional, rustic architecture that blended in effortlessly with the jungle the lodge was surrounded with. Echoes of birds chirping were muffled into a seamless backdrop. And the silence was heartwarming. You could actually spend a day just loving your peace with the breezing trees.

But there isn’t just one thing to mention on why this lodge should make it to your bucket list. Because the merits are just too long: the hospitality, the food, the comforting rooms, and the socialising bonfire in the evenings.

However, the best part about the resort is not the luxuries but jungle walks with the elephants. While most resorts surrounding the area take their guests for elephant safaris, Tiger Tops Tharu Lodge takes them for a jungle walk with the glorious humble elephants. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the lodge works on a different time- actually elephant time.

Activities include- morning walk with the elephants, making kuchhi (protein food for elephants), jungle walks with the elephant, sundown with elephants – yes! Elephants are a larger part of Tiger Tops Tharu lodge, but I assure you that the experience is truly enthralling and peaceful.
