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.

DAY1Gorakhpur to LumbiniLumbini · Overnight stop
Join at the agreed pickup and cross through the planned border route. A focused Lumbini visit depends on reporting time and border processing. Use the overnight to break the approach rather than assuming the same day also reaches Kathmandu. Ask which local admission and transport arrangements are included in the private quote.
PashupatinathTemple access rules and darshan queues apply.
BoudhanathStupa precinct and a considerate walk around the site.
SwayambhunathHilltop shrine area; discuss steps and walking needs.
Maya Devi Temple areaAllow time for the Sacred Garden and site entry.Place previews help you plan. Only visits expressly stated in your confirmed itinerary are included.
DAY2Lumbini to KathmanduKathmandu · Overnight stop
Treat this as a road-transfer day. Allow breaks and a flexible arrival; avoid relying on evening darshan after a long journey. Check into the selected hotel and discuss the following day’s visiting order with the coordinator. Hotel access and room arrangements should already be written into the booking.
DAY3Pashupatinath and Kathmandu visitsKathmandu · Overnight stop
Give the principal temple visit adequate time and follow current entry and photography rules. Boudhanath and, where practical, Swayambhunath can form the agreed city programme. Walking, queues and steps may change the pace. A visit in the itinerary does not guarantee unrestricted temple access or include every ticket and shuttle.

DAY4Kathmandu to GorakhpurTour ends · Departure day
Begin the return road journey with the agreed meal arrangements and documents accessible. Border and traffic delays determine the actual finish. Do not treat the end date as a guaranteed arrival hour for an onward train or flight; a Gorakhpur night can be added if needed.

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.
Inclusions & exclusions

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
LumbiniPlace guide & practical planning+
Lumbini is a pilgrimage destination with a clear purpose: the birthplace of the Buddha. The Maya Devi sacred area and Ashoka pillar give the visit its historical focus, while the wider monastic landscape invites a slower pace. It can feature in a Nepal holiday or a dedicated India–Nepal Buddhist circuit, but those two visits need different amounts of time.
Explore Lumbini →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.

Tour details & practical planning
01A Kathmandu-focused visit for a clear temple priority
Choose this itinerary when Kathmandu and Pashupatinath are your main reasons for travelling.
Choose this itinerary when Kathmandu and Pashupatinath are your main reasons for travelling. The road arrival and departure take a substantial part of the four-day window, so the central sightseeing day matters. Adding Pokhara would create a different route rather than a small modification.
Share the incoming Gorakhpur connection and any onward booking before fixing the programme. A late arrival can make an extra city night sensible. Ask which Kathmandu visits involve entry charges, walking or local transfers, and keep the final religious visit subject to the site’s current access rules.
02Who this four-day route is for
Choose this programme when Kathmandu pilgrimage is the main reason for travelling and the group accepts the road time.
Choose this programme when Kathmandu pilgrimage is the main reason for travelling and the group accepts the road time. The short duration is achieved by limiting the places, not by pretending the transfers disappear. Two Kathmandu nights create one full city day between arrival and return.
Travellers who need slower road days should extend the itinerary. A four-day headline is not automatically appropriate for every family or older traveller. Discuss an intermediate night, walking needs and the final connection before settling on the duration.
03Plan Pashupatinath with the access rules in mind
Pashupatinath is a living religious complex.
Pashupatinath is a living religious complex. Access to the main temple is restricted, and photography rules must be respected. A mixed group may not all have the same visiting experience. The wider setting and a view across the Bagmati are different from admission to the sanctum.
Keep ritual requests separate from the ordinary sightseeing programme. A driver or tour booking cannot guarantee a particular ceremony, queue length or unrestricted entry. Let the desk know if a specific devotional purpose is central to the journey so the plan can be discussed honestly.
04Boudhanath and Swayambhunath are distinct visits
Boudhanath provides a different setting from Pashupatinath, with time around the stupa precinct and surrounding streets.
Boudhanath provides a different setting from Pashupatinath, with time around the stupa precinct and surrounding streets. Swayambhunath involves its own approach and walking considerations. Group the visits sensibly, allowing meals and regrouping time rather than measuring the day only by the number of stops.
If someone does not want to complete a stepped approach, agree where they can wait and how the party reconnects. The guide language, entry costs and local shuttles must be specified when requested. A private programme can be adjusted, but every change still needs a workable transport plan.
05Keep the quotation and return plan realistic
The indicative price assumes standard twin-sharing rooms, breakfast and private road transport for the proposed four-day sequence.
The indicative price assumes standard twin-sharing rooms, breakfast and private road transport for the proposed four-day sequence. It is not the same product as a seat on the six-day group departure. No exact hotel, vehicle or private departure is held merely because a price is displayed.
Request the total payable, tax treatment, service list and supplier cancellation conditions for your dates. Keep any onward rail or air ticket outside a tight arrival assumption. If a buffer night is necessary, include it in the budget from the start rather than treating it as an unexpected expense.
