Located on the edge of Chitwan National Park, close to the Narayani River, Tiger Tops Elephant Camp offers the opportunity to stay alongside Tiger Tops’ 12 resident Asian elephants. Tiger Tops Elephant Camp allows you to connect with the elephants in a more personalised, profound and unobtrusive way.
Guests can enjoy a range of elephant activities or simply spend time with the herd throughout the day to get to know their individual personalities, behaviour and habits. Six comfortable safari-style tents with attached bathrooms accommodate you during your stay.
As pioneers of responsible tourism, Tiger Tops have teamed up with Carol Buckley from Elephant Aid International to build spacious enclosures for 12 resident elephants, in a chain-free environment.
The camp offers six safari-style tents with ensuite bathrooms and electricity. While the lodgings are basic but comfortable, the access Elephant Camp offers to the lives of its resident elephants is unsurpassed. The swimming pool in Tharu Lodge, a short distance away is available to guests staying at the Elephant Camp.
It is such a pleasure to work with the staff at Tiger Tops Elephant Camp to help create a program where guests respectfully experience the private life of elephants. You are showing the way for a better, kinder world for captive-held elephants in Asia. Carol Buckley.
Located on the edge of Chitwan National Park, in Western Nepal, a short 20-minute flight from Kathmandu takes you to Bharatpur airport. Here you are met and driven one and a half hours to the camp. The camp can also be reached by driving six hours from Pokhara or Kathmandu.
Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.
The lodge sits on the bank of the Rapti river and offers excellent rhino and gharial sightings. The guides are excellent and the lodge’s other staff are all very hospitable, which is a trademark of Taj Safari in India. 29 villas and rooms, some with private plunge pools, offer fine touches with contemporary design. All rooms have a view overlooking the river and the Himalayan and Terai grasslands below. The public areas offer an infinity swimming pool, bar, lounge and river viewing deck dining. The chef specialises in traditional Newari and Tharu cuisine. The lodge organises a daily safari, elephant back riding, walking safaris and canoeing.
The beautiful Barahi Jungle Lodge offers comfortable surroundings with an amazing wildlife experience. The lodge has naturalists to accompany you on a jeep safari and jungle walks. The lodge cares for their own elephants, so the chance to witness the animals bathing in the river is a real possibility. The individual cottages, overlook the forest and are built using natural materials. The verandah looks out across the river. You might be lucky to spot a rhino from here. The large swimming pool also overlooks the river and reserve. The food is top-notch and bountiful and prepared to personal taste.
Situated in Chitwan’s buffer zone near the river, Tharu Lodge is owned and managed by the famous Tiger Tops group who set up the first camp in the jungle here before it was even declared a national park.
