While we all are adapting our way through this pandemic, our conservation and wildlife protection effort is ongoing. Amidst all this , we are preparing to welcome you all back at our lodges shortly. In its 54th year, the International Waterbird Census has become a vital source of information for the conservation and management of wetlands and waterbirds around the world. #tigertopstharulodge #tigertopskarnalilodge #birds #wetland @himalayan_nature @officialzsl #newnormal #wfh @animal_nepal @hemsagarbaral @army_nepal #chitwannationalpark

With the difficulties and challenges that each of our faced during this past year, I’m sure we are all glad to see the back of 2020. The tourism industry here in Nepal remains precarious given the ongoing pandemic. At Tiger Tops we have continue to keep our lodges temporarily shut through the festive period. However we are watching the situation closely and are implementing enhanced safety measures and procedures in preparation to welcome a small number of guests in a limited capacity for our Spring 2021 season, with bookings tentatively begins accepted from 1st February. For more information on how you can visit next year, please do get in touch. We continue to remain quietly optimistic for 2021 but in the meantime we wish you a wonderful New Years celebration! Best wishes, The Tiger Tops Team ....................................... #tigertopstharulodge #tigertopselephantcamp #tigertopskarnalilodge #chitwannationalpark #bardianationalpark #staysafe #corona #wfh #nepal @mountain_travel_nepal @animal_nepal #2021 #newyear #savetheplanet #hábitat @nepaltourism @ashik.meghauli

Our lodges may be temporarily closed but the conservation show goes on. Our experienced naturalist team assists Baburam Mohato of Nepal Tiger Trust in identifying the resident tigers in the jungle that surrounds our Tharu Lodge for the Long Term Tiger Monitoring Project. A combination of pug-mark identification and camera taps are used. Tiger Tops and our sister charity The International Trust For Nature Conservation have been supporting this initiative since 1974 and have contributed to the collection of the world’s largest data set on a single tiger population. With the increase of poaching occurring globally due this pandemic, the importance of these types of project have drastically risen.

World Rhino Day celebrates Rhinoceroses and generates awareness of issues regarding their well-being. In recent years, rhinos have been threatened by poaching, urbanization and pollution, which have left certain rhino species on the brink of extinction while leaving other species severely endangered. ....................................................

WILDLIFE OF TERAI ARC LANDSCAPE (TAL) NEPAL 🇳🇵. MAMMALS: LEOPARD(PANTHERA PARDUS FUSCA) is one of the most common large cats found in Nepal. It’s found in almost every part of Nepal except high Himalayan regions. Leopard leads a solitary lifestyle and they are generally most active between sunset and sunrise like most of the big cats. Livestock depredation is one of the main reason for the human - leopard conflict in Nepal. Leopard are also known to visit the human settlements quite frequently killing the domesticated animals and also terrorizing and sometimes injuring or killing the people. ................................................

WILDLIFE OF TERAI ARC LANDSCAPE (TAL) NEPAL 🇳🇵. Deers form a major part of a tiger's diet. Thus a viable tiger population can only exist if there also is a viable population of prey species. .................................................... 📷: @gothe_z .................................................... #tigertopstharulodge #tigertopskarnalilodge #chitwannationalpark #bardianationalpark #spotteddeer #sambardeer #barkingdeer #swampdeer #hogdeer #nature #jungle #habitat @nepaltourism @pannepal @galoyalodge @animal_nepal #thankyou #love #bbc #bbcearth #natgeoyourshot #natgeo #nepal

World Elephant Day is a rallying call for people to support organizations that are working to stop the illegal poaching and trade of elephant ivory and other wildlife products, protect wild elephant habitat, and provide sanctuaries and alternative habitats for domestic elephants to live freely. The Asian elephant is endangered, mainly because of habitat loss: most suitable habitats have turned into fields and human settlements. There are approximately 30,000 Asian elephants in the wild - less than one tenth the number of African elephants. www.tigertops.com .................................................................................... 📷 : @gothe_z 🌏: #tigertopstharulodge ................................................................................... #worldelephantday #elephant #saveelephant #nepal #chitwannationalpark #bardianationalpark #stopivorytrade #habitat #nature #bbcearth #natgroyourshot #humananimalconflict @nepaltourism @galoyalodge @mountain_travel_nepal @world_animal_protection @world_wildlife #wwfnepal #zslnepal @animal_nepal
