FAQs
Do Indian travelers need a visa for Nepal?
No — Nepal is visa-free for Indian nationals for any purpose, including tourism. You can enter using a valid Indian passport or an original Election Commission Voter ID card; a passport is recommended if you're flying, since airlines generally expect one at check-in, though Voter ID is accepted at land border crossings. Aadhaar alone is not accepted as valid travel documentation.
Is this trip suitable for children and senior citizens?
Yes — the pace is comfortable overall, though a few practical notes help: children under 18 should carry a birth certificate and school photo ID alongside a parent's documentation, and anyone with mobility concerns should note that some sightseeing (like the walk around Devi's Fall and Gupteshwor Cave) involves uneven terrain and short walks.
What's the best way to reach Manakamana Temple
No hiking required on this itinerary — the temple is visited via the road route en route to Chitwan, with the option to add the scenic Manakamana Cable Car separately if you'd prefer that experience over Kufri (cable car tickets are purchased directly at Kurintar station and aren't included by default).
Are the Chitwan jungle safari and Pokhara adventure activities included?
The core Chitwan jungle safari and Bishazari Tal visit are included in the itinerary. Optional add-ons — canoe rides, jungle walks, extended jeep safaris, paragliding, ziplining, bungee jumping, and similar Pokhara adventure activities — are bookable separately at additional cost and can be arranged through your hotel or local guide.
What currency should we carry, and are cards accepted widely?
Nepali Rupee is the local currency — ATMs are reliable in Kathmandu and Pokhara but can be scarce in remote or high-altitude stretches, so it's worth carrying sufficient cash for smaller towns and rural sightseeing stops. A local SIM card (NCELL or NTC) is a convenient option for better mobile coverage outside main hotel WiFi zones.
What's the cancellation policy?
The package is non-refundable and non-changeable once confirmed — please confirm current terms and availability directly with the booking office before making final payment, since rates are dynamic and not guaranteed until written hotel confirmation is received.
