Clothing for the tour:

On your honeymoon tour in Nepal,  you will experience a wide range of climates, so take light and warm clothing in casual and comfortable styles. You can check your traveling time and bring the clothing accordingly for the tour. Mostly, warm clothes do work. If you are going trekking, you need trekking equipment and accessories.
Light cotton clothing is the best for lower altitude places such as Chitwan, Bardia, and Koshi Tappu.

Comfortable walking shoes are the best for the tour. Bring trekking shoes if you are hiking, as in the itinerary. A pair of light sandals are promising to get. We advise you to ‘wear’ your walking boots/shoes for several weeks before your trip – you’ll be much more comfortable if you do so. Sandals with rugged bottoms are suitable for hiking around town and to wear in showers.

You will need your toiletries and towels. You’ll also need your medical kit, sewing repair kit, and a good headlamp with extra bulbs and batteries. It is long hours in the summertime, and most of our chosen hotels have Generator backup, but it may not run at night, so bring the headlamps for convenience.

You can store the luggage in the hotels and bring better clothing to look good around the city, like Kathmandu and Pokhara.

Sunglasses are a must. A warm hat, gloves for winter for hiking, swimming customs for rafting, Elephant bathing at Chitwan, good socks, and a sun hat are beneficial for Jungle safari tours and warm sightseeing days in town, too.

Clothing’s Suggestion for Women Travelers:

You wore a bikini/revealing bathing suit when rafting/swimming, which is an offensive mistake unless it is in your hotel swimming pool. At swimming pools, women wear bathing suits with skirts around the bottoms. And for rafting and kayaking, we recommend you wear surfing-type shorts and sports shirts that dry quickly. If you want to wear your bathing suit underneath, it is okay.

Here are some things you might want to bring for your honeymoon in Nepal:

Walking/hiking, Everest base camp trekking, river shoes – broken in.
Clothes you can layer. Jacket, T-shirts, fleece, windbreaker, shorts, lightweight pants, sports pants, gloves & sun hat (for summer and autumn season, not many clothes).
A nice shirt/pants for nightlife. Pocket-size Flashlight (you can buy it here if need be, but there are always power cuts, so have it handy! (It seems like the lights go off whenever you are in an unfamiliar toilet.)

Good camera – this country is a feast for the eyes and a photographer’s dream!
A sarong (for girls) and a lightweight towel. Ladies, if you like wearing a little make-up when you go out, bring it. It is hard to find here. Most of the make-up here is weird, cheap stuff. Just get some things that make you happy for the party nights!

Six of the most romantic spots, explain why to consider Nepal as your honeymoon destination.

Pokhara

Pokhara is known as ‘the city of lakes’ and is one of Nepal’s most beautiful places. With the Himalayas providing a stunning backdrop, the picture-perfect lakes that give Pokhara its nickname offer beauty and romantic adventure in equal parts.

Kathmandu

Nepal’s ancient and mysterious capital city is an obvious choice for newlyweds. It offers a fabulous combination of culture, traditions, and modernity, showcasing Nepalese society’s best. Explore the quaint, colorful city by day, taking in the fantastic historic sites like Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Square, Swayambhunath Square, and Durbar Square, then drink, dance, and dine to your heart’s content thanks to the spectacular nightlife on offer.

Sarangkot

If you want something small, quiet, and remote, with the chance to spend time alone with your loved one, Sarangkot might be a perfect choice. A charming corner of the country, Sarangkot offers spectacular views from the Sarangkot ridge, with the Himalayas rising dramatically just in front, making this one of the most amazing places in Nepal to watch sunrise and sunset.

Chitwan

Chitwan is a paradise on Earth for couples who love animals and nature. Boasting a vibrant array of Earthre, exotic, and endangered animals, it is the perfect spot to get out into nature on jungle hikes and safaris, drink in the lush surroundings, and delight in the beautiful flora and fauna, from elephant rides to birdwatch, there is much to do in this gorgeous little pocket of Nepal.

Nagarkot

Are you tempted to have breakfast in front of the highest place on Earth? Nagarkot sits just in fourth Mount Everest, the world’s tallest peak. It is probably the most picturesque place in Nepal (which, for a country with this sort of landscape, says something), making it the perfect honeymoon destination.

Watch the sun rise over Everest, drink in the glorious panorama of the Annapurna mountain range, and hike through thickly wooded trails to discover charming forest clearings and even more impressive mountain vistas. Visit during the winter, from October to April, as although the temperatures are cold, the views of Everest are best at this time of year.

Bandipur

To dive into Nepalese tradition and culture, visit Bandipur. This marvelous old settlement is rich in Newari culture, offering a delightful and friendly atmosphere and some truly unique experiences. Explore the enormous interior of the Siddha Gufa, the second largest cave in South Asia, or enjoy the spiritual ambiance and lovely surroundings of Bindhabasini temple. Finally, discover the origins of your favorite silk shirt with a visit to a working silkworm farm!

Shopping in Nepal:

At the end of your honeymoon in Nepal, you can go to Nepal. You can go out of Thamel to buy some Pashmina shawls, varieties of Tea, knives, Handicrafts, Nepali thanks, and carpets in Kathmandu; you can get Western-style clothes in Durbar Marg, Asan, Kathmandu Mall, and other new rising shopping centers. You can get designer-labeled clothes and custom-made jeans for literally a few dollars; the price is much lower here, but the quality compromises never meet Western Standards.
