Packing for the Kathmandu-Pokhara & Chitwan Tour:

Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan are modern cities with all the facilities available when needed. You may thus pack what you really need during the trip and choose to wear as per your season of visit.

The summers are moderately hot while the winters are cold enough to carry along a simple down jacket. Additionally, it is recommended to dress in layers if you are planning for the tour during mid winter to keep yourself warm. Similarly, if you want to go on your adventure during the monsoon, you must have proper rain wear.

Also, Chitwan Jungle Safari demands a little extra to be tagged along. Here you will also be traveling to dense forest areas with wild animals. As bright colors like red and yellow make it difficult for you to blend in with your surroundings, darker hues like black, brown, gray or tan are most preferable. Moreover, the idea is to blend into the bush so that wildlife is undisturbed, and you can view them in their natural habitat. Additionally, as you will be in the middle of the jungle, it is highly recommended that you wear full sleeve clothes even in the summer to avoid any insect bites and skin rashes.
