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.

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 five-day two-city route with an en-route pilgrimage stop
The private proposal includes Lumbini on the outward road day, a full day in Pokhara, Manakamana during the transfer to Kathmandu and a full Kathmandu sightseeing day.
The private proposal includes Lumbini on the outward road day, a full day in Pokhara, Manakamana during the transfer to Kathmandu and a full Kathmandu sightseeing day. It uses two nights in each city.
Lumbini visit time depends on the border and road day; the Manakamana cable car depends on current operation and available time. Confirm which visits and optional costs are included in the final written itinerary.
02Five days, four nights: route and stay
Day 1: Gorakhpur–Sunauli–Lumbini–Pokhara.
Day 1: Gorakhpur–Sunauli–Lumbini–Pokhara. Day 2: Pokhara sightseeing. Day 3: Pokhara–Manakamana–Kathmandu. Day 4: Kathmandu sightseeing. Day 5: return to Gorakhpur. The four hotel nights are split between Pokhara (2) and Kathmandu (2).
Day 1 is a long road day. Lumbini is a brief stop only when border and road timing allow; the full monastic zone needs more time. The return day is for travel, not Kathmandu sightseeing.
03Lumbini en route
A short visit can focus on the Sacred Garden.
A short visit can focus on the Sacred Garden. The places list below shows other Lumbini highlights for planning; it does not promise a full circuit on this transfer day.
Entry, guide, electric cart and local transport arrangements are included only if named in the written quote.
04Pokhara and Kathmandu sightseeing
The itinerary allows one local sightseeing day in each city.
The itinerary allows one local sightseeing day in each city. Choose the priorities from the place lists below and confirm the order before travel.
Traffic, site rules, walking time and opening conditions can limit the number of visits. Optional activities, tickets and local transfers are separate unless specified in the accepted quote.
05How this private package is priced
The planning estimate assumes standard twin-sharing accommodation, breakfast and a private road itinerary for the stated group size.
The planning estimate assumes standard twin-sharing accommodation, breakfast and a private road itinerary for the stated group size. Vehicle cost is divided among your party, so the per-person amount changes with passenger numbers. Child arrangements, single rooms, upgraded hotels and additional nights are separate decisions.
The figures help you start a budget and are not supplier-confirmed availability. Before payment, obtain the dated service list, vehicle category, property basis, taxes, payment milestones and cancellation conditions. The fixed November group’s terms do not automatically apply to this private journey.
06Route decisions that matter on this tour
This is the requested five-day private Lumbini–Pokhara–Manakamana–Kathmandu circuit, returning to Gorakhpur.
This is the requested five-day private Lumbini–Pokhara–Manakamana–Kathmandu circuit, returning to Gorakhpur. Both Pokhara and Kathmandu have two nights. Day 1 is a long road day with a short Lumbini opportunity; an arrival after the agreed early pickup requires a revised plan, not a promise of every first-day visit.
07Make the sightseeing time useful
Keep the four Pokhara visits on Day 2 and the Kathmandu circuit on Day 4.
Keep the four Pokhara visits on Day 2 and the Kathmandu circuit on Day 4. Manakamana belongs to the Pokhara–Kathmandu transfer on Day 3. The cable-car stop depends on operation and queues, and its ticket or local transfer must be expressly included. Do not add Sarangkot to the Day 1 arrival.

Your booking questions, answered
Is this a confirmed departure?
No. This is a private route proposal with an indicative planning price. The desk confirms the dates, itinerary and service scope in writing.
What does the price assume?
Standard twin-sharing rooms, breakfast and private road transport at the stated adult group size. Actual hotels, vehicles, taxes and supplier terms require a dated quote.
Can the itinerary be slowed down?
Yes, request additional nights or fewer visits. Extra nights and vehicle days change the estimate.
Are tickets and activities included?
Only when expressly listed in the accepted quotation. Local shuttles, optional experiences and unlisted meals are separate.
Can I book a return train for the final evening?
Allow for uncertain road and border delays. Discuss a Gorakhpur buffer night before choosing a tight onward connection.
Is this only a Pokhara private tour?
No. The displayed route includes Lumbini en route, two Pokhara nights, a possible Manakamana stop and two Kathmandu nights before returning to Gorakhpur.
Can I join this route after a late-morning Gorakhpur train?
Send the actual arrival first. The long first road stage assumes an early start; a late connection may require an arrival night or an amended first overnight.
