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.

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 →

Tour details & practical planning
01A regional pilgrimage with a full Lumbini day
This programme is useful when Gorakhpur is your practical arrival point and the aim is Kushinagar, Lumbini and Shravasti.
This programme is useful when Gorakhpur is your practical arrival point and the aim is Kushinagar, Lumbini and Shravasti. It does not include Bodh Gaya or Sarnath. The Lumbini overnight arrangement separates the visiting day from the border transfers, which matters when pilgrimage time is a priority.
Tell the desk if a language guide, recitation time or particular monastery is essential. Confirm both-country entry and Indian re-entry before payment where applicable. If the full four-place Buddhist circuit is your objective, compare the eight-day proposal instead of stretching this regional programme.
02Why these three pilgrimage places belong together
The route concentrates on the Gorakhpur region and Lumbini rather than extending to every major Buddhist site.
The route concentrates on the Gorakhpur region and Lumbini rather than extending to every major Buddhist site. It suits travellers who already visited Bodh Gaya or want a shorter regional journey. Two Lumbini nights allow a full day between the cross-border transfers.
03International visitors need a return-entry plan
This itinerary leaves India and returns.
This itinerary leaves India and returns. A visa or entry permission for one country does not establish permission for the other or for re-entry. Check the exact nationality, documents and intended land crossing with official authorities before booking non-refundable services.
04Guide language and pilgrimage priorities
Tell the desk whether the group wants historical interpretation, time for recitation or a quieter visit.
Tell the desk whether the group wants historical interpretation, time for recitation or a quieter visit. A language-speaking guide, religious leader or monastery meeting is not automatic. These services require explicit confirmation and may change the budget.
05Rooms, meals and the group-size budget
The figures below are provisional adult planning allowances for standard twin-sharing rooms, breakfast and private road transport.
The figures below are provisional adult planning allowances for standard twin-sharing rooms, breakfast and private road transport. A smaller party carries a larger vehicle share per person. Exact properties, vehicle category, taxes and any guiding service require a dated quotation before payment.
Ask for every overnight location and the proposed bedding. Children, single rooms, extra beds, activity tickets and unlisted meals are priced separately unless included in writing. A website enquiry does not hold a vehicle, room or seat.
06Payment, changes and cancellation
Request the payment schedule and supplier cancellation conditions with the final quotation.
Request the payment schedule and supplier cancellation conditions with the final quotation. The published Nepal fixed-departure cancellation table is not automatically the policy for this private proposal. Keep the written itinerary, service list and acknowledgement together.
If you want to change a stop or add a night, do it before confirming onward transport. Extra vehicle days and hotel nights can change the total, and unused booked services may carry supplier charges. Material changes should be agreed in writing.
07Route decisions that matter on this tour
The four nights are Kushinagar 1, Lumbini 2 and Shravasti 1.
The four nights are Kushinagar 1, Lumbini 2 and Shravasti 1. Start in Gorakhpur, visit Kushinagar, cross to Lumbini, then return to India for Shravasti and the Gorakhpur drop. Keep the border stages distinct from the full Lumbini day. International guests need documents covering both countries and the India re-entry.
08Make the sightseeing time useful
Use the Kushinagar visit for the agreed pilgrimage precincts, the Lumbini day for the Sacred Garden and selected monasteries, and the final Shravasti morning for Jetavana.
Use the Kushinagar visit for the agreed pilgrimage precincts, the Lumbini day for the Sacred Garden and selected monasteries, and the final Shravasti morning for Jetavana. Personal prayer, museum visits and specialist interpretation can change the time required. State these priorities before the guide and final transport are booked.
09Route research and current operating checks
Destination and route references reviewed 17 October 2026.
Destination and route references reviewed 17 October 2026. The overnight sequence is a Trishna planning proposal; official destination descriptions do not confirm supplier availability. The local team checks current roads, site access and any trail operating arrangements before accepting your trip.

Cancellation & refund policy
Private booking cancellation conditions
Your written quotation states cancellation charges, notice periods, non-refundable supplier commitments and amendment conditions. Request any cancellation or change in writing and retain the acknowledgement.
Ask for an itemised explanation of recoverable amounts, supplier deductions and refund timing. Flights, trains and separately booked services follow their own supplier terms. Statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.
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.
Road conditions, weather, border delays, queues and site rules may change visit timing or order. Material changes and proposed extra costs should be explained. Carry the required original documents, arrive at the agreed reporting time and tell the desk about practical assistance needs before booking.
Your booking questions, answered
Is this a scheduled departure?
No. This is an illustrative private itinerary; availability, services and final rates need written confirmation.
Can we change the number of nights?
Yes. Send the stops you want to retain and actual arrival and departure times. Additional nights and transfers change the quotation.
Does the fare include a private guide?
Not unless expressly listed. Request the language, days and locations required so the service can be checked and priced.
Are attraction tickets included?
Only those expressly listed in the accepted quotation. Optional activities, local shuttles and unlisted meals are separate.
What should we send to get a final price?
Travel dates, starting and ending points, adult count, child ages, room preference and assistance needs. Do not send identity scans through the website form.
Does the route cross the India–Nepal border twice?
Yes. It travels from India to Lumbini in Nepal and returns to India before Shravasti. Entry permission must cover the complete journey.
Is the Lumbini visit a rushed transit stop?
No. This sample has two Lumbini nights and a full visiting day between them. That is more time than an en-route Lumbini call on a longer city transfer.
