Tiger Tops Tharu Lodge

The staff are the properties biggest asset, exceptional service throughout our stay. The property is in an authentic style and grew on us the longer we were there. if you want marble and a polished hotel this is probably not the hotel. This is a 2 star hotel). We stayed in the huts opposed to tents, the huts were spacious, the mosquito net was an added bonus. For me at the end of a very busy trip to Nepal, this was just the place to have a little down time, do as much or as a little as you want. WiFi only available in the communal reception area. Which helped to completely switch off. Game drives and elephants walks etc were very easy to organise on arrival.

The property is remote and not easy to access, no transport offered. We traveled by bus towards Chitwan, but got off the bus at Bharatpur? We ended up in a tuk tuk, with a driver who could not speak English and struggled to locate the property. ( I recommend getting off at the airport) and grab a cab $40. It would have been virtually impossible to catch the bus back and we ended up flying back to Kathmandu

Tiger Tops was one of the absolute highlights of my travel in Nepal. We had a wonderful time. The lodge is elegant yet relaxed, the staff are so kind and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and happy. We had so much fun going on jeep safari with our guide Sam, who was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional and fun. I’d recommend a stay at Tiger Tops to anyone, and I can’t wait to come back.

The staff were excellent, extremely helpful and kind and efficient. Couldn’t fault them. The food was superb and very plentiful. The guide Maan was excellent and very informative. Safaris were great fun.

The grounds and gardens were lovely but could have done with comfortable furniture so you could sit and enjoy the wildlife. Also the pool furniture needed updating to something more comfortable. The beds were too hard for us and needed new mattresses.

La struttura è in stile tipico coloniale indiano. Abbiamo provato sia la tenda che la camera tipica (ci hanno offerto un upgrade gratuito in quanto c'erano presenti pochi ospiti). La tenda molto bella, caratteristica, unico inconveniente un mega ragno sulla tenda di notte, ma che con dell'insetticida se ne è andato via! La notte successiva ci siamo trasferiti nella camera: pulitissima, molto spaziosa e letto molto comodo (esattamente come il letto in tenda). Il bagno rispetto alla camera è un po' piccolo, ma per rispettare lo stile coloniale della struttura si integra perfettamente! Abbiamo usufruito anche delle esperienze offerte dalla struttura e siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti (soprattutto le esperienze al mattino con gli elefanti, fiore all'occhiello della struttura). Il personale è molto professionale, educatissimo ed estremamente gentile, sempre pronto risolvere ogni richiesta, estremamente soddisfatti.

Ben poche cose, forse unica nota la pulizia della piscina, ma abbiamo soggiornato fuori stagione, per cui è normale che non venisse fatta manutenzione.
