Description: During the construction of Tiger Tops skilled wood workers were imported from India. Here they are making furniture. Notice the lack of any power tools.Tiger Tops was the first Jungle Lodge to be constructed in Chitwan National Park. The Park borders on the Narayani River and so it became possible to float by raft from the Trisuli River all the way to the park. Now a major highway follows the river course.
