Pro tips for a 7-day Chitwan trip
- Book the anchor activities 1–3 days ahead via WhatsApp on Yatra — peak-season slots fill fast
- Confirm hotel airport pickup with the host before arrival; saves NPR 1,000–2,000 versus airport taxis
- Carry small bills (NPR 100/500) for street food and tea breaks — most spots don't accept cards
- Pack layers even in peak season — Kathmandu valley mornings hit 8°C in November even at sea level
- Day-trip flexibly — if a half-day activity finishes early, swap in a bonus pick from the list above
