Although it seems initially expensive compared to other lodges in the immediate area, you are not comparing apples with apples.
Tharu TigerTops Lodge prices include all meals and all activities, from which you have a very varied choice. In particular these include the famous sundowner where you sit on the riverbank after a tiring day and watch an amazing sunset, and elephants playing and washing themselves in the river as a waiter brings you a beer or a gin & tonic. Definitely the English luxury experience you find only in places like Kenya or Zimbabwe.
The trip guides are very seasoned bird watchers and wildlife experts who will make your trips very successful in finding and observing the rich variety of wildlife in the area adjacent to the Chitwan national park. We never managed to enter the actual national park, however. The most important benefit was that we hardly saw any other tourists and were able to enjoy our safaris far from the tourist crowds of the many Chitwan lodges on the Sauraha side.
Personalized service was at its best. The staff ensures that you are accompanied to and from the lodge in utter comfort, however you come and wherever your next destination may be. Tents were extremely comfortable, clean and well equipped with comfortable beds and linens. Adjacent bathrooms were also of top cleanliness and comfort.

Tiger Tops Elephant Camp was amazing.
Walking through the jungle with the elephants and getting up close and personal with them was an unforgettable experience.
We saw rhinoceros on the Jeep Safari. I would highly recommend this experience.

We had a lovely stay at Tiger tops and the staff go above and beyond to make your stay pleasant.
We are glad we stayed 4 nights so we had plenty of time enjoying the safari. We couldnt have asked for a better guide, Sam was genuine and you could tell he loves his job.
The only thing I would wish for to give it a 5 star would be air condition and wifi that works in the room.
