The short answer
A mountain flight, a helicopter tour, a Chitwan jungle stay, a rafting day or a short trek can each be a large part of the total. They are optional, so they let you scale the trip up or down without changing the core plan.
Decide your must-haves first, then add one or two extras. Ask the operator to price each add-on separately, so you can see what it adds. Weather affects mountain flights and rafting, so keep a spare day.
