National Geographic Journeys – G Adventures Group

Nepal Tiger Trust is dedicated to raising awareness about tiger conservation among locals, nationals, and international visitors. Since 2017, we have proudly partnered with National Geographic Journeys – G Adventures (NatGeo – Adventures) to integrate our tiger conservation initiatives into their travel programs.

Every year, several NatGeo – Adventures groups stay at Barahi Jungle Lodge, near the Nepal Tiger Trust office at Meghauli, Chitwan National Park. These groups consist of visitors from around the world. During the 2024-25 season, 230 travelers arrived in 29 different groups. Since the start of our collaboration in 2017, more than 1,200 international visitors have actively engaged in Nepal Tiger Trust’s field activities.

Conservation Activities

Visitors participating in the program experience hands-on conservation activities, including:
