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 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 →

Tour details & practical planning
01The route and overnight plan
Travel Gorakhpur–Sunauli–Lumbini–Pokhara, then Pokhara–Manakamana–Kathmandu and return to Gorakhpur.
Travel Gorakhpur–Sunauli–Lumbini–Pokhara, then Pokhara–Manakamana–Kathmandu and return to Gorakhpur. The four hotel nights are split between two nights in Pokhara and two in Kathmandu. The fixed programme does not schedule Pokhara sightseeing on the first day.
Nepal Tourism Board lists the Sunauli–Bhairahawa–Pokhara road leg at about 185 km from the border, before any Lumbini stop. Day 1 is therefore a transfer day; a brief Lumbini visit depends on border processing and arrival time. The Manakamana cable car is optional, separately paid and subject to operating status and enough time on Day 3.
02Five days, planned around four hotel nights
Day 1 · Gorakhpur–Sunauli–Lumbini–Pokhara.
Day 1 · Gorakhpur–Sunauli–Lumbini–Pokhara. Travel and border formalities take priority. Stop at Lumbini only if the day’s timing allows; on arrival in Pokhara, check in and rest. No Sarangkot or Phewa Lake sightseeing is scheduled today.
Day 2 · Pokhara. Use this as the single planned Pokhara sightseeing day: Phewa Lake and Lakeside, with any agreed local visits. Boating is optional and paid separately. Sarangkot is not included in the fixed programme unless the group vehicle and access are confirmed in writing.
Day 3 · Pokhara–Manakamana–Kathmandu. This is a long road-transfer day. A Manakamana visit and cable car are optional only if operating and the group has enough time; the fare and queues are extra. No Kathmandu sightseeing is promised on arrival.
Day 4 · Kathmandu. Visit Pashupatinath and Boudhanath in the agreed order, allowing for traffic, site rules and walking time. Entry fees and local shuttles are extra unless listed in the booking confirmation.
Day 5 · Kathmandu–Gorakhpur. Return by road through the border. Keep the day free for travel and avoid a tight same-evening train or flight.
