Pace yourself for elevation changes
Acclimatize gradually—rest between sightseeing and avoid heavy exertion the first day in Kathmandu to reduce altitude effects.
Carry local cash
Smaller vendors, remote lodges and some park fees prefer rupees—ATMs exist in cities but carry enough for rural legs of the route.
Respect sacred sites
Dress modestly at temples, remove shoes and follow photo rules at stupas and inner sanctums to avoid offending worshippers.
Wildlife safety basics
On jungle walks or jeep safaris keep to your guide’s instructions, avoid sudden movements and never feed or approach wildlife.
Comfortable walking shoes
Sturdy, broken-in shoes handle city cobbles, temple steps and short jungle trails.
Lightweight layered clothing
Temperatures vary by elevation—pack a warm mid-layer for dawns in Sarangkot and cool evenings.
winter
Rain jacket or light waterproof
Monsoon months bring heavy showers—waterproofs keep you comfortable during transfers and outdoor activities.
summer
Insect repellent with DEET or picaridin
Essential for Chitwan and lakeside evenings to reduce mosquito-borne nuisance and risk.
