Travel tips

Chitwan National Park travel tips

Visa and entry

Entry rules for Indian passport holders change, including visa-free, visa-on-arrival and e-visa schemes, so confirm the current rules on the official government or embassy website for Nepal before booking flights. Most countries require a passport valid for at least six months beyond your return date. We check the current requirements when we prepare your quote; we cannot guarantee visa approval.

Health and safety

Buy travel insurance that covers medical treatment and evacuation; healthcare abroad can be expensive. Carry prescription medicines in their original packaging with a copy of the prescription. Some places here are at high altitude: rest on arrival, drink plenty of water and ascend gradually. For current safety advice, check the travel advisories published by the Government of India and the embassy in Nepal.

Currency and tipping

The currency is the Nepalese rupee (NPR); Indian rupee notes are widely accepted, but rules on higher denominations have changed over time, so carry ₹100 notes. Around 5–10% in restaurants; trekking guides and porters are customarily tipped.

Best time to visit

October to March. Comfortable safaris; grass is cut in early spring for better sightings.

Getting around

Short domestic flights and tourist buses connect Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan; private cars are more comfortable.

Local etiquette

  • Dress modestly at temples, churches and mosques, and remove footwear where asked.
  • Ask before photographing people, and follow photography rules at religious sites and museums.

What to pack

Pack warm layers, a down jacket and gloves, modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees for religious sites and comfortable walking shoes.

Phone and internet

Indian mobile operators sell international roaming packs, or you can buy a local SIM or eSIM on arrival with your passport. Check that your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM before you travel.
