Chitwan Tour Package – 3 Nights 4 Days

Best Time

Chitwan has a subtropical climate, and the weather is a key factor when planning your Chitwan Tour Package. The most comfortable and popular time is between October and March, late autumn, winter, and early spring. These are dry and pleasant months with daytime temperatures of 20-28°C and cool nights.

The dry season (Oct–Mar) is ideal for viewing wildlife because vegetation is thinner and visibility is higher, so it is easy to spot wildlife. It can also be used in jungle trips, canoeing, and bird watching.

Photography works best on clear days, as there are rhinos, elephants, and the scenery at Chitwan is naturally beautiful, though it may be harder to see during the monsoon period of June to September.

In April–May and early June, days can be exceedingly hot with temperatures reaching up to 30 °C, sometimes reaching the mid-to-high 30s°C in the jungle, thus the early mornings and late afternoons are also good times to see wildlife. Muddy trails and rising rivers may restrict safari activities, but the flora is lush, insects are numerous, and birdwatching remains worthwhile.

For any Chitwan Tour Package, dress appropriately: light cotton clothes in summer, a light jacket during winter mornings, and rainwear in case of showers.

Foods and Drinks

All major meals are included. Breakfasts at the resort are substantial, including eggs, toast, cereal or porridge, fresh fruit, and tea or coffee. Lunch and dinner offer a variety of Nepali and international foods.

Common meals include traditional dal bhat—rice, lentil soup, vegetables, and sometimes meat curry—along with other dishes like stir-fried vegetables, noodles, soups, salads, and regional specialities such as river fish or Tharu-style chicken curry.

Only treated/filtered/boiled water is safe. Mineral water is available in bottles, and using a reusable bottle is recommended. Resort bars carry soft drinks and beer, which are a treat after a hot safari day. Nepali desserts like gulab jamun or local honey yoghurt are worth trying.

Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or mild-spice meals may be pre-ordered. Overall, the Chitwan Tour Package food is healthy, delicious, and balanced, keeping you energised throughout the journey.

Visa and Permits

Travellers visiting the Chitwan Tour Package must be well informed about the visa and permit requirements so that they can travel easily. The majority of foreigners have to possess a tourist visa to visit Nepal, whereas Indian nationals do not. Visa is available at the points of entry, like Kathmandu Airport, Tribhuvan International Airport, or at the borders.

Fees also depend on the term: about 30 USD per 15 days, 50 USD per 30 days, and 125 USD per 90 days, and can be paid in cash. Complete a form at the counter or digitally, pay the fee, and get a multiple-entry visa. Bring a photo the size of a passport and make sure your passport is not even out of date.

To enter Chitwan National Park, you will need a permit, which we, the Himalyan Adventure Treks, will secure on your behalf and form part of the package. The charge per day that the foreigners pay is an average of NPR 2,000 (approximately 16 USD), which involves various activities, including the Elephant Breeding Centre and Gharial Crocodile Breeding Centre. There might be small fees at museums or cultural exhibitions.

Having all the visas and park permits, you can relax and enjoy all the wildlife, jungle safaris, and cultural experiences without any stress.

Altitude Sickness, Health, and Safety

Safety and health are the concerns in the Chitwan Tour Package. All activities like jeep safaris, elephant rides, canoeing, and jungle walks are accompanied by trained guides, who ensure safety in addition to providing information on the park and wildlife.

Be guided, keep up with the guides, and observe a safe distance between animals such as rhinos, deer, and even monkeys. Before every activity, there is a safety briefing so that you are ready to meet larger animals, but not in the highland Terai areas in Chitwan, because it is at an altitude of 100-415 m, hence you are not subject to altitude sickness.

During the winter season, cold and humidity might pose a problem; therefore, dress in breathable attire, utilize sun protection, and drink plenty of water.

Hot seasons have insects, e.g., mosquitoes, and rainy seasons might have leeches. Wear repellents, full-sleeved clothing, and sneakers. Most resorts provide drinkable water and simple first-aid, but facilities like providing mosquito nets depend on the resort. There are also clinics and hospitals in Sauraha and Bharatpur in crisis.

These steps will guarantee that your Chitwan Tour Package is an interesting and secure adventure that will see you comfortably, hydrated, and alert, being able to enjoy wildlife, jungles, and even cultural activities and events.

Transportation

Transport is also provided for easy travel in and around Chitwan. In our Chitwan Tour Package, the tourist bus will be used to travel between Kathmandu (5-6 hours) or Pokhara (4-5 hours) with resting stops in between on beautiful roads down to the Terai plains, through rivers, fields, and small towns, but traffic/road conditions can change travel duration.

There are options of private cars or jeeps, which can be used to transfer at a faster rate. Bharatpur to Kathmandu is a short flight of around 20-30 minutes. On arrival at Sauraha, a private pickup transport is ordered at the resort.

During the tour, transport varies by activity: open-top 4×4 jeeps for jungle safaris, traditional wooden canoes for river rides, and elephant-back safaris for unique park views.

Walking, bicycles, or rickshaws can be used to explore the village and jungle. Outbound transport is also arranged via tourist bus, private vehicle, or flight.

Luggage transport is simple, with adequate space provided. With these arrangements, your Chitwan Tour Package ensures a comfortable journey so you can focus on wildlife spotting, cultural tourism, and the adventure of Terai.

Additional Costs of Travel

The traveller should budget for other additional costs, although the majority are covered in a Chitwan Tour Package. Out-of-meal drinks and beverages like soft drinks, bottled water, beer, wine, or cocktails are normally optional.

Between meals, snacks such as chocolates, chips, and ice cream may be bought in the town of Sauraha or at the resort bar. Good service is met with tips and gifts, and guides, drivers, and hotel personnel tend to get little tips.

On a Chitwan Tour Package, it is normal to tip off the main nature guide at an average of NPR 1000-1500 (USD 8-12) and the elephant mahouts or hotel staff at a lower rate.

Other costs are souvenirs and shopping. The spices, teas, t-shirts, postcards, wood carvings, local handicrafts, and Tharu artwork will be good fits as lasting reminders.

You will also have an option to do activities that are not included in the package and do them on your own, like a second canoe ride, a tour of the ox-cart village, or a private jeep safari, which has an added fee. The other minor expenses will be the laundry, Wi-Fi or SIM cards, and meals that you will take during the transit to and from Chitwan.

Generally, spending USD 50-100 on additional personal expenses will be enough to have a nice 4 days in the Chitwan Tour Package. You will be able to have drinks, souvenirs, tips, and things you want without worrying, but the primary part, like safaris, accommodation, and food, will be included.

Language & Communication

Language and communication are easy and traveller-friendly during a Chitwan Tour Package. The Nepali language is the official language in Nepal, and in the Chitwan region, Tharu, which is an indigenous language, is widely spoken. The guides, staff, and drivers of the resorts speak English, and you find it easy to comprehend the instructions, wildlife briefs, and details of an activity.

Sauraha menus and signs are frequently in English, and thus, everyday communication is easy. Because Tharu people do not often use English, a small number of local expressions, such as ‘Namaste’ when saying goodbye or hello, and ‘Dhanyabaad’ when saying thank you, will be a nice addition to your communication with Tharu people and locals.

Gadget, Internet, and Connectivity

The Chitwan Tour Package has good connectivity, but it depends on the location. Most resorts offer Wi-Fi in the lobbies, restaurants, and rooms, which is usually free and allows sending messages, emails, and exchanging photos.

Mobile networks (NTC/Ncell) are also available in the Sauraha town, but when conducting a safari, the signal can be weak in all parts of the park, which will allow you to enjoy nature to the fullest. Carry a local SIM or check roaming where necessary.

Power is 220 V and has the European-type socket. Generators or solar backup are in most hotels. Bring in an adapter and a power bank so that you are not out of charge on the long safari days.

Communication is easy on the whole, and you can keep in touch with your Chitwan Tour Package and, at the same time, enjoy the wildlife and the peaceful setting of the jungle at Chitwan.

Don’ts on This Trip

There are some “don’ts” that one should remember when visiting the Chitwan Tour Package to stay safe, not disrespect wildlife, and not destroy the environment.

• Bright neon attire and heavy perfumes should be avoided when doing activities in the jungle, as they may scare animals.
• Do not touch wild animals, insects, or babies.
• Rivers such as the Rapti or Narayani are unsafe to swim in because of the presence of crocodiles and other water-related dangers.
