Craving a travel experience that links the wonders of India and Nepal?

Start in New Delhi and journey through Ranthambore National Park, Agra, and Allahabad before crossing into Nepal’s Himalayan embrace.
Witness the sunrise over the Taj Mahal’s marble dome and soak in the pink hues of Jaipur’s palaces. Experience the spiritual energy of Varanasi, where a boat ride down the Ganges immerses you in timeless rituals. Camp on the riverbanks for a truly unique perspective before entering Nepal.
In Nepal, explore sacred temples, vibrant bazaars, and seek out the elusive one-horned rhino near the Royal Palace. This moderately active tour package offers a mix of wildlife adventure, city exploration, and cultural encounters, with accommodation, transport, and meals all included.
The trip’s unique feature is its seamless connection between two fascinating countries, offering travelers the chance to witness both iconic sites and hidden gems in one comprehensive journey. For those who crave a richly textured trip across borders, Delhi to Kathmandu is a perfect fit.
day 1Join tour in Delhi - city tour of New Delhi
Our tour starts in New Delhi, India's bustling capital, where old meets new and you can catch glimpses of a bygone era at every turn. For those arriving in time, our tour leader will meet you in the hotel reception at 1.30pm for a welcome meeting followed by an afternoon city tour. We'll visit Qutab Minar, the tallest stone tower in India and Humayun's Tomb dating from the Mughal Dynasty. We also drive past the imposing India Gate (war memorial arch), the Parliament buildings and the Rashtrapati Bhawan, the President's residence. If you'd like an airport transfer today, you'll need to arrive into New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), which is around a 40-minute drive from the hotel. If you'd like to join the city tour, you need to arrive at the hotel by 1.30pm. If you're booking your own flights, we recommend giving yourself at least one hour to clear the airport and 45 minutes to transfer to the hotel. The latest your flight should arrive is 12pm. If you miss the welcome meeting, the tour leader will catch you up as soon as possible.
