We strongly recommend that you bring a small bag or suitcase, equivalent to aircraft carry on baggage rules, for your stay in Chitwan. Most hotels in Kathmandu can store your main luggage until your return. Tiger Tops Head Office or your local Travel Agent in Nepal, may also be able to assist. There is also a store at Tiger Tops’ Meghauli airfield.
For visits during March to September and early October light summer clothing is needed and raingear is useful. During November to February sweaters and warm jackets are required for the mornings and evenings.
