Frequently Asked

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a private tour?

Yes — every TempleFront itinerary is run exclusively for your group. We never combine you with other travellers.

Can the itinerary be customised?

Absolutely. Routing, hotel tier, duration, and activities can all be adjusted to suit your group.

What is a Tharu cultural evening at Chitwan?

The Tharu are the indigenous people of the Terai lowlands. Their stick dance, fire dance, and cultural performances are a vivid introduction to their traditions. Most Chitwan lodges organise an evening show — it is included in the programme.

Is it possible to see tigers at Chitwan?

Tiger sightings are possible — the park holds a healthy Bengal tiger population. A full-day jeep safari with an experienced naturalist gives the best chance. One-horned rhinos, however, are almost guaranteed.

Do I need a Nepal visa?

Most nationalities receive a visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport. USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days. Bring two passport photos and USD cash.

What meals are included?

Breakfast and dinner are included at your hotels throughout the tour. Lunch is on your own account at local restaurants.

Is travel insurance required?

Not mandatory but strongly recommended. Comprehensive cover including emergency evacuation is best practice for any Nepal trip.
