Your nights, stops & travel days
How to read this route before booking
Read the overnight sequence alongside the day-wise plan. A city appearing in the route may be a visit or transfer stop rather than an additional hotel night. The detailed itinerary explains what is scheduled on each day.
Share your arrival and onward departure times before confirming. Ask which visits remain practical around your connections, where the vehicle drops you and whether local shuttles, guides or activities cost extra.

What is this estimate based on?
The figures are planning allowances, not a supplier contract or a claim that another operator sells this exact itinerary. Hotel and vehicle choices, travel dates and occupancy can change the final price. Child rates, single rooms, tickets, unlisted meals and extra services are separate unless expressly included.
Research reviewed 13 October 2026: published six-day Nepal entry prices around ₹14,500–₹14,999 provide a broad market reference; eight- and twelve-day Buddhist offers vary substantially by group size and land-service scope. We use an independent provisional budget, not a copied competitor fare.

Private itinerary proposal: final services, conditions and the overnight plan are confirmed in writing.
DAY1Arrive in GorakhpurGorakhpur · Overnight stop
Use an arrival night to separate your incoming connection from the Nepal transfer. Confirm room layout, child ages and luggage before the next morning’s pickup. This illustrative programme deliberately adds time rather than compressing the border day.
DAY2Travel towards PokharaPokhara or revised stop as quoted · Overnight stop
Cross via the agreed border route with original documents accessible. Allow meal and comfort stops. Arrival depends on road and border conditions; agree an intermediate overnight if the journey would be too demanding for your family.
DAY3A gentle Pokhara dayPokhara · Overnight stop
Choose one main outing, then return for a meal or rest. Discuss cave steps and lakeside access before selecting activities. Optional boating should be considered separately with the local operator; it is not an automatic family inclusion.
DAY4Transfer to KathmanduKathmandu · Overnight stop
Reserve the day for the road transfer with breaks. Check that the next hotel has the agreed beds and practical access. Keep the evening free from compulsory sightseeing.
DAY5Your chosen Kathmandu visitsKathmandu · Overnight stop
Group visits by area and walking needs. A temple visit, a heritage walk and free time are different uses of the day; decide priorities before adding stops. Allow enough time to regroup after queues and meals.
PashupatinathTemple access rules and darshan queues apply.
BoudhanathStupa precinct and a considerate walk around the site.
SwayambhunathHilltop shrine area; discuss steps and walking needs.Place previews help you plan. Only visits expressly stated in your confirmed itinerary are included.
DAY6Return to GorakhpurTour ends · Departure day
Allow the full road day and decide whether the family needs another night before travelling home. Return accommodation and onward transport are separate unless expressly included.

Your stay & the journey between places
Choose the rooming and transport around the people travelling. Photographs below are planning references from our supplied collection; your booking names the actual arrangements.

Your room & sharing plan
Confirm the property, room category and whether the beds are twin or double. A third adult may use an extra bed or mattress; ask about space and bedding before choosing triple sharing.
- Room occupancy
- Bed arrangement
- Bathroom facilities

Location & hotel facilities
Check the overnight city, access from parking, stairs or lift and meal timings. Tell us about mobility and dietary needs while planning. Any hotel upgrade must be included in your accepted quote.
- Access & walking
- Meal plan
- Upgrade options

Transport matched to your group
Vehicle choice follows your traveller count, luggage and route. Confirm airport or station pickup, daily sightseeing scope and any local vehicle changes.
- People & luggage
- Route & parking
- Local transfers
What to ask about accommodation before payment
Request hotel names or the agreed selection basis, room category, occupancy, meal count and any extra-bed charge. Check whether early check-in, late checkout, heating or air-conditioning, hot water and Wi-Fi are included where you need them. Facilities vary by property and overnight location.
For a family, list adults and child ages with the rooms you require. For friends, choose twin, double or triple arrangements explicitly. A room photograph alone does not establish the allocated category, view or number of beds.
What to ask about the vehicle and access
Confirm passenger seating, luggage space, the pickup and final drop, operating hours and sightseeing scope. A through vehicle may stop at a parking area rather than a temple entrance, old-city lane or hill viewpoint. Ask whether the last section requires walking, a local shuttle or a different vehicle.
Keep optional outings separate from the base programme. A new stop can add waiting, distance, tickets or an overnight change. Request an updated route and total price rather than relying on a verbal addition to the original itinerary.

About your departure place
Gorakhpur · arrival, pickup and onward travel
Gorakhpur is the joining point for the published Nepal group and the starting point for the Nepal road proposals shown here. The meeting point is confirmed with your booking; a rail or airport arrival is not automatically the group pickup. Leave time to collect luggage, reach the meeting point and deal with a delayed incoming connection. An arrival night can be added separately where needed.
Keep the pickup contact and written meeting instructions accessible. Tell the desk about changes to your arrival. Read the practical planning guide →
About the places you’ll visit
PokharaPlace guide & practical planning+
Pokhara suits travellers who want some space in their Nepal itinerary: time beside Phewa Lake, a less hurried evening and a choice between sightseeing and outdoor activities. It is a useful base for a family holiday, a couple's trip or a longer journey towards the Annapurna region. A lake view and a mountain view are different promises; mountain visibility always depends on the weather.

KathmanduPlace guide & practical planning+
Kathmandu is the part of a Nepal road trip where the journey changes pace: courtyards, busy streets, temple queues and living neighbourhoods take over from the highway. Choose it for heritage and pilgrimage, particularly when Pashupatinath is central to your plans. It works best with a full sightseeing day between arrival and departure rather than a quick overnight stop.

Your route briefing
Know the route before you book
Start with the overnight stops, then check the road days, room-sharing basis and optional activities. Ask the travel desk to explain any part that is unclear.
- Which days are mainly transfers?
- What is included in the displayed price?
- Where can the plan be adjusted for your group?
The written itinerary remains your booking reference.
Tour details & practical planning
01Plan the holiday around the youngest and oldest traveller
Family comfort depends on more than the hotel label.
Family comfort depends on more than the hotel label. Explain whether a child needs an extra bed, whether grandparents want lift access and how much walking everyone is comfortable with. A family can prefer the same route but need a different sequence of meal breaks and sightseeing stops.
Build in an afternoon that can be used for rest instead of filling every gap with an optional visit. Ask which activities can be skipped without disrupting the whole group and how that affects transport. Child prices must be calculated from age, bed and meal requirements; an adult headline is not a child quotation.
02Build around the youngest and oldest traveller
Tell us about ages, stairs, walking distance, dietary preferences and travel sickness before the route is final.
Tell us about ages, stairs, walking distance, dietary preferences and travel sickness before the route is final. A hotel lift, accessible drop-off and a manageable bathroom layout may matter more than an extra sightseeing stop. Request these specifically; a star category alone does not confirm accessibility.
03Fewer bases can make a better holiday
Two nights in one place gives time to settle in.
Two nights in one place gives time to settle in. Pokhara offers a useful mix of lakeside time and short local outings. Kathmandu visits can be grouped by area, with queues and road traffic allowed for. Chitwan is worthwhile when its activities match the family; do not book a wildlife extension solely because it appears on a package list.
04Room-sharing needs an exact answer
A child sharing an existing bed is different from an extra bed.
A child sharing an existing bed is different from an extra bed. A triple room may use a mattress. Ask for the maximum occupancy, bedding arrangement and child meal basis in writing. Separate rooms can be more comfortable than squeezing a larger family into a low headline rate.
05Private travel or the group departure?
A private trip is usually easier to adapt around rest and meals.
A private trip is usually easier to adapt around rest and meals. Families comfortable with the fixed route can enquire about the group, but the long road days remain the same. Neither transport nor optional activities should be described as suitable for every age without discussing individual needs.
06Build the room plan around the people travelling
Give children’s ages and the number of adults in each room before requesting a price.
Give children’s ages and the number of adults in each room before requesting a price.
Ask whether children share existing bedding, need an extra bed or require a separate room. Confirm how the hotel charges for that specific arrangement, including breakfast. Adjoining or nearby rooms may be requested, but they should not be treated as guaranteed unless the hotel arrangement explicitly confirms them.
For older relatives, ask about stairs, lift access and the walk between vehicle drop-off and the room. Share practical mobility needs without assuming every sightseeing stop is accessible. A shorter visit with an agreed waiting place may work better than requiring every traveller to follow the same walking route.
07A useful family brief includes routines
Share the ages of children, usual meal times, tolerance for long drives and any need for afternoon rest.
Share the ages of children, usual meal times, tolerance for long drives and any need for afternoon rest. For older travellers, describe walking and stair limitations in practical terms. It is more useful to say that someone needs to avoid a long stair climb than simply to ask for a comfortable tour.
Do not assume every member must do every outing. A quiet hotel afternoon for one person can be part of a good plan, provided the hotel, meeting arrangements and responsibility for children are clear. If the group wants to split between activities, ask whether additional transport is required rather than relying on one vehicle to serve everyone at once.
08Choose the first and last nights carefully
An early Nepal departure works best when the family is already in Gorakhpur and ready to travel.
An early Nepal departure works best when the family is already in Gorakhpur and ready to travel. A late train followed by an immediate long drive can make the first day harder than it needs to be. Compare the cost of an extra arrival night with the comfort it provides.
Use the same logic on the return. If you need to catch a flight or train, tell the desk before the final night is chosen. The quoted tour duration may count road days as well as sightseeing days. Protecting sleep and the return connection can be more valuable than fitting in another city.
09Meals, rooms and luggage need separate answers
A child’s hotel charge can depend on age, bedding and meal basis.
A child’s hotel charge can depend on age, bedding and meal basis. Ask for the actual arrangement used in your quote. Two adults with two children may need a different room configuration from three adults, even when the total number of people appears similar. Confirm whether a requested extra bed leaves enough usable space.
List large suitcases, pushchairs and other bulky items when choosing the vehicle. Seating capacity alone does not prove that the luggage will fit comfortably. Ask about child restraints if needed and wait for confirmation. A requested feature should not be treated as available merely because a vehicle category is described as a family option.
10Build a day with a clear stopping point
A practical sightseeing day has a main visit, a meal break and a point at which the family can decide whether to continue.
A practical sightseeing day has a main visit, a meal break and a point at which the family can decide whether to continue. That is easier to organise than a rigid list that assumes every traveller has the same energy. Ask which stops involve steps, queues or a walk from parking.
For optional activities, confirm age or access restrictions directly with the operator when relevant. The tour desk can help plan the route, but activity-specific suitability needs its own assessment. If an activity is left out, agree whether there is a refund, an alternative or simply free time; do not assume these are interchangeable.

Your booking questions, answered
Is this itinerary fixed?
This is an illustrative private route for discussion. Dates, overnight stops, services and price are confirmed only in your written quotation.
How are charges calculated for different group sizes?
The desk prices the actual group, dates, rooms and vehicle. Two travellers do not pay the same per-person vehicle share as a larger group. No current private fare is represented as confirmed here.
Are entry tickets and optional activities included?
Check the inclusions and exclusions on this page and the accepted booking summary. An itinerary mention does not by itself include the ticket, local shuttle or activity charge.
What should I confirm about rooms?
Ask for hotel names or the agreed selection basis, each night, double or twin bedding, extra-bed arrangements and any child or single-room supplement.
How do I request changes or cancel?
Contact the desk in writing and retain acknowledgement. The fixed Nepal departure has the schedule below; private bookings use the cancellation and supplier conditions supplied before payment.
What should I send with my enquiry?
Send dates, departure city, adults and children with ages, room preference and the places that matter most. Mention luggage or practical assistance needs; do not put passport numbers or identity scans in the website form.
