How to Prepare for the Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour?

• Visa & Documents: Nepal offers a visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. Prepare a passport-size photo and USD cash (~US$30-50) or apply online in advance. Bring passport photocopies. Check that your passport is valid for at least 6 months.
• Health & Vaccinations: Routine vaccines (MMR, DPT, etc.) should be up-to-date. CDC recommends the Hepatitis A vaccine for Nepal travel (and Typhoid/Tetanus). There is no malaria risk in Kathmandu, Pokhara, or Chitwan, but standard anti-malaria pills are not needed (mosquito repellent is enough). Carry basic prescription meds, and drink bottled or purified water (avoid tap water).
• Cash & Currency: Nepal’s currency is the Nepali Rupee (NPR). ATMs and currency exchange offices are available in Kathmandu and Pokhara. We recommend carrying at least NPR 10,000-20,000 (~USD 75-150) per week of travel for meals, souvenirs, tips, and emergencies. Most hotels accept credit cards, but small vendors do not. Notify your bank about travel to avoid card blocks.
• Fitness: This Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan tour involves light activity (temple stairs, short hikes). A basic fitness level is sufficient. Acclimatization is not a major issue at these altitudes (Kathmandu ~1400m, Pokhara ~800m, Chitwan ~150m), but always stay hydrated and take breaks on drives.
• Clothing & Culture: Pack modest clothing for temple visits (shoulders/knees covered). Evening temperatures in Pokhara can be cool, so bring a light jacket. In Chitwan, long-sleeved shirts help deter mosquitoes at night. It’s customary to remove shoes at temple entrances and to accept gifts/greetings with both hands (a “Namaste” gesture).
• Communication: English is widely spoken in tourism areas. It’s helpful to learn a few Nepali phrases (“Namaste”, “Dhanyabad” = thank you). Mobile internet (SIM cards) is cheap and useful for maps/communication.
