Chitwan Safari Nagarkot Tour

Package Overview

Chitwan Safari - Nagarkot Tour is one of the most organized tours in Nepal. Chitwan Jungle Safari is the most popular jungle safari trip in Nepal. Actually, Chitwan National Park is the largest National Park in Nepal and widely regarded as one of the best National Parks in Asia. Covering the area of 967 sq. kilometers, Chitwan National Park is already cited as UNESCO World Heritage Natural Site. Chitwan National Park is regarded as a very popular wildlife safari destination due to its thriving wildlife population and easy accessibility from Kathmandu and Pokhara.

We begin Chitwan Safari Tour with a wonderful drive to Chitwan National Park from Kathmandu. We explore the wonderful variety of wildlife in the National Park. In fact, Chitwan National Park offers the diverse ecosystem and the prime vegetation of Sal (Shorea robusta) which covers almost 70% of the forest. 20% of the national park is covered by grassland with as many as 50 species of grasses. Out of all 43 recorded species of animals in Chitwan National Park, there are 600 recorded species of great one-horned rhinoceros and 106 tigers. Besides Chitwan Park is the home of many other wild animals including Wild elephant, Fresh Water Dolphin, Leopard, Gaur, Wild Dog, Rhesus Monkey, Langur, Hog Deer, Stripped Hyena and Sloth Bear etc. The gharial is the most spectacular reptile in the national park while other reptiles include: Python, Tortoise, Monitor Lizard, Pangolin, Mugger, King Cobra and 19 other species of snakes. Chitwan National park has protected 485 different species of birds. Apart from this incredible wildlife, Chitwan Safari Tour will also provide you the experience to explore the local Tharu Culture.

After Chitwan, we return back to Kathmandu and have the sightseeing tour of various world heritage cultural sites in Kathmandu. We then drive to Nagarkot to enjoy the beautiful sunrise views and the stunning views of snowcapped mountains. We take a short hike to Changunarayan Temple which is also UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Site while returning back from Nagarkot to Kathmandu. Ace Holiday Treks (P) Ltd. offers this Chitwan Safari with Nagarkot Tour Package with the very flexible itinerary. You will have a wonderful time during this trip.

The following gives you a general idea of the personal items that you can bring for the trek. The personal items are of individual interest, and choice. The most important fact that one should keep on mind is that one should have enough clothes to tackle the cold weather in the Himalayas.

In a supported trek, heavy items are carried by porters or yaks and personal belongings that you may need for the day like money, water bottle, rain gear, camera, sun cream and toilet paper etc. should be carried by yourself. So you are briefed to pack items in two different bags.

We will supply complimentary water and wind proof duffel bag which you can use on the trek and is carried by porter/s. The duffel bag is yours to keep after the trek. You can leave your bag with your non-trek items at the hotel in Kathmandu and collect them after the trek.

General
For seasons Sleeping bag (Optional/we can provide one if you need it but is to be returned after the trek)
Duffel or Rucksack bag or suitcase (We will provide one complimentary ACE duffel bag for you to keep.)

Daypack
Down Jacket (Optional/we can provide if you need one but is to be returned after the trek)

Upper Body - Head / Ears / Eyes
Shade hat or baseball cap - some people drape a bandana down the back of their head and then put a baseball cap on to hold it is place. This can be a flexible alternative while keeping the sun off your ears and neck.
Warm wool or synthetic hat that cover your ears.
Balaclava - lightweight, thinner variety.
Glacier glasses-100% UV protection with side shields and a hard-sided storage case (i.e. Julbo or Cebe). This is to protect your eyes from the stronger rays of the sun due to the thinner atmosphere which can cause a painful condition known as snow blindness. Regular sunglasses are not sufficient. If you wear prescription glasses, speak to your doctor about prescription glacier glasses, perhaps with transitional lenses.
Headlamp - Black Diamond and Petzl both make several good ones. Make sure to bring extra batteries and that they are lithium batteries so that they will last in the colder temperatures. These are indispensable for getting around at night, reading, etc. so, don't go cheap here.
Some people like ear-muffs; These are optional; a good hat, balaclava, and hooded jacket should really be sufficient, but this is a personal choice for some people (optional).
A neck warmer is another piece of gear for extra warmth if you feel you will need it (optional).

Hand
1 pair liner gloves, thin wool or synthetic, useful alone on mild days or as a layer inside other gloves / mitts for additional warmth.
1 pair warm gloves (heavier fleece or wool).
1 pair shell gloves or mitts; Gore-Tex is preferred for keeping hands dry.

Light and expedition weight thermal tops.
Fleece jacket or pullover.
Fleece Wind-Stopper jacket (optional).
Waterproof (preferably breathable fabric) shell jacket.

Underwear, stay away from cotton (4).
2 pairs lightweight long underwear - capilene or other synthetic.
1 pair soft shell pants - synthetic, full zip from top and bottom preferable.
2 pairs trekking pants, preferably that zip on/off at the knees so they double as shorts.
1 pair hard shell pants. Waterproof / breathable, Gore-Tex or equivalent is best. Should zip from the top and bottom - this makes it easier to put on over boots without getting undressed should the weather change once you are underway for the day.
1 pair cotton pants (loose jeans/khakis).
All clothing should be kept dry using waterproof stuff sacks or large puncture resistant plastic bags.

Feet
4 pairs of liner socks, synthetic or capilene.
