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.

Your stay & the journey between places
Confirm your rooming, hotel location and vehicle before booking. Your written quotation 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.

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.

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
Lucknow, with Gorakhpur connection · arrival, pickup and onward travel
This proposal starts by assessing your Lucknow connection. A door-to-door vehicle is not assumed confirmed. Discuss a separately priced transfer or travel independently to Gorakhpur, then stay overnight before the Nepal segment. The published November group itself includes Gorakhpur pickup and drop only.
Keep the pickup contact and written meeting instructions accessible. Tell the desk about changes to your arrival. Read the practical planning guide →

Tour details & practical planning
01Confirm what from Lucknow means in your quotation
A Lucknow-start package should specify the first pickup and final drop.
A Lucknow-start package should specify the first pickup and final drop. It may involve a connection through Gorakhpur, an overnight pause or separately arranged transport. Compare the complete door-to-door plan rather than assuming that every Nepal fare includes the Lucknow segment.
If you prefer to reach Gorakhpur independently, ask for the corresponding Nepal-only quotation. Give the actual incoming travel times so an arrival night can be assessed. The return arrangement is equally important: a Gorakhpur-ending package and a Lucknow-ending package are different services.
02Two different arrangements
For a private journey, ask us to quote a Lucknow pickup and return against your full route and dates.
For a private journey, ask us to quote a Lucknow pickup and return against your full route and dates. Alternatively, travel independently to Gorakhpur and join the fixed Nepal departure there. The ₹11,999 group fare does not include Lucknow transport. No Lucknow fixed-departure date is currently published here.
03Add the approach journey honestly
Do not count a Lucknow-to-Gorakhpur transfer as spare sightseeing time in Nepal.
Do not count a Lucknow-to-Gorakhpur transfer as spare sightseeing time in Nepal. An arrival night can prevent a delayed connection from affecting the entire first day. The return also needs a buffer after the Nepal road journey, particularly if another ticket is non-refundable.
04Compare like for like
Ask whether a quotation includes the Lucknow vehicle throughout, a separate transfer to Gorakhpur or independent rail travel.
Ask whether a quotation includes the Lucknow vehicle throughout, a separate transfer to Gorakhpur or independent rail travel. Check driver accommodation, vehicle days, room nights and pickup timing. A package labelled “from Lucknow” should explain exactly where the included service begins.
05Request a route assessment
Send the number of travellers, preferred dates and whether you want door-to-door travel.
Send the number of travellers, preferred dates and whether you want door-to-door travel. We will check the arrangement and availability before issuing a price. If a Gorakhpur start is more practical, we explain the connection instead of presenting an unconfirmed service as guaranteed.
06Option one: join the Gorakhpur departure
This option separates your Lucknow connection from the announced Nepal group.
This option separates your Lucknow connection from the announced Nepal group. You arrange or request a transfer to Gorakhpur, arrive before the confirmed reporting time and then join the common programme. The published Nepal group fare starts and ends in Gorakhpur.
Consider an arrival night if a same-morning connection leaves little room for delay. Check the actual meeting point before choosing a hotel or ticket. On the return, the Nepal road journey still determines when the group reaches Gorakhpur; a further Lucknow connection needs its own buffer and cost allowance.
07Option two: request a private Lucknow route
A private enquiry can ask for a pickup and final drop in Lucknow, subject to the route and vehicle arrangement being confirmed.
A private enquiry can ask for a pickup and final drop in Lucknow, subject to the route and vehicle arrangement being confirmed. Explain whether you want a through vehicle or are comfortable with an agreed transfer change. Ask for the entire journey, including the approach to Nepal, to be shown day by day.
The number of vehicle days may be greater than the number of Nepal sightseeing days. Driver arrangements, overnight stops and luggage need to be priced for the full service. Do not compare that quotation with only the Gorakhpur group fare and assume the difference is a surcharge for the same product.
08Protect the time you have available
Write down when you can leave home and when you must be back, not just the dates you hope to spend in Nepal.
Write down when you can leave home and when you must be back, not just the dates you hope to spend in Nepal. The approach and return journeys belong inside that time window. If it is too tight, reduce the Nepal stops before compressing every road day.
For families, compare a staged journey with a longer continuous transfer. For pilgrims, decide which temple is the primary purpose and build the route around it. A Lucknow start does not make Kathmandu, Pokhara, Janakpur and Muktinath all fit naturally into one short circuit.
09What to ask for in a written comparison
Request two clear totals if you are unsure: joining in Gorakhpur and a private Lucknow-origin arrangement.
Request two clear totals if you are unsure: joining in Gorakhpur and a private Lucknow-origin arrangement. Each should state pickup, drop, room nights, meal basis, vehicle scope and any border handover. List independently purchased tickets separately so you can see the total holiday budget.
No Lucknow fixed-group departure is confirmed on this page. Availability, private pricing and transport continuity must be agreed with the desk. Share passenger count, luggage, dates and the essential destinations; those details are necessary before a meaningful quote can be produced.
10Route decisions that matter on this tour
The seven-day sample gives the approach and return their own days: Lucknow to Gorakhpur on Day 1, Nepal travel on Days 2–6, then Gorakhpur to Lucknow on Day 7.
The seven-day sample gives the approach and return their own days: Lucknow to Gorakhpur on Day 1, Nepal travel on Days 2–6, then Gorakhpur to Lucknow on Day 7. There are two Gorakhpur nights, two Pokhara nights and two Kathmandu nights. Confirm both Lucknow sectors instead of treating them as included in a Gorakhpur group fare.
11Make the sightseeing time useful
City visits belong on the full Pokhara and Kathmandu days.
City visits belong on the full Pokhara and Kathmandu days. Avoid adding a temple stop to a late Lucknow arrival or booking a Lucknow train immediately after the Kathmandu road return. If you join a fixed departure independently at Gorakhpur, ask for a joining-only quote and choose your own approach connection.

Terms & conditions
Service scope, route changes and traveller responsibilities
Only the services listed in your accepted booking are included. Confirm rooms, meals, vehicle scope, tickets, local shuttles and special requests in writing.

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.
Does the sample finish in Lucknow on the Kathmandu return day?
No. It reaches Gorakhpur on Day 6 and continues to Lucknow on Day 7. The overnight separates the long Nepal return from the final connection.
Are Lucknow transfers covered by the Nepal group fare?
No. The published group starts and ends in Gorakhpur. Lucknow travel and any arrival or return hotel are separate unless expressly added to your booking.
