# What to Pack for a Nepal City and Wildlife Trip

> Pack for Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan with a practical list for city walks, temple visits and guided wildlife outings.

Pack for long days outside and different kinds of stops. On a Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan trip, the same comfortable shoes and light layers will do more work than a bag full of specialized gear. Start with what you’ll use each day and add items for your actual season.
Carry a small sightseeing bag
Put water, sun protection, a charged phone and a spare layer within reach. Save an offline map and your accommodation address before a transfer. Keep anything you need during a ride out of the luggage compartment.
Dress for worship sites and wildlife outings
Carry something to cover your shoulders and knees when asked, and choose shoes you can take off easily. For a guided outing, ask your lodge what it supplies and what it wants you to bring. If you’re out early, add a layer you can remove once it warms up.
Use a separate list for trekking
If a day hike turns into a multiday trek on your itinerary, ask your guide for a route-specific equipment list. Plan that kit independently because accommodation, weather and walking conditions can change what you need.
See Lokoon’s Nepal destination guide and three-day Kathmandu Valley itinerary for more planning ideas.
