Essential trip
information!
Pack a highly versatile wardrobe suited for shifting elevations and varied climates. Bring lightweight, breathable cotton clothing for the warm, humid jungles of Chitwan, and pack warm sweaters, a fleece, and a light jacket for the cooler elevations of Kathmandu and Pokhara, especially for early morning excursions like the Sarangkot sunrise. Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes with good grip are mandatory for exploring the uneven stone paths of temples and jungle walks. Bring essential sun protection, sunglasses, binoculars for wildlife viewing, strong mosquito repellent (crucial for Chitwan), and personal medications (including motion sickness tablets for the long, winding drives). The local currency is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). Indian Rupee (INR) notes of ₹100 and below are widely accepted everywhere in Nepal, but ₹500 and ₹2000 notes are strictly prohibited and illegal to carry or use in the country.
