Welcome to the India-Nepal Tour, an enchanting voyage that seamlessly blends the rich cultural heritage and natural splendor of two diverse nations. From the vibrant streets of India to the serene landscapes of Nepal, this journey promises an unforgettable exploration of ancient traditions, majestic monuments, and breathtaking scenery.

This itinerary combines the natural and spiritual beauty of Nepal with the spine-tingling sights and glorious spectacle of India. Flying first to Kathmandu, you’ll feel on top of the world as you take in views across the Annapurna Mountain range and breathe fresh Himalayan air as you trek to hushed mountain monasteries. There’ll be pinch-me moments as you stand beneath serene hilltop stupas and mighty Shiva monuments, and perhaps catch a glimpse of a rare Bengal tiger in Chitwan National Park. In India our spiritual adventure takes an exhilarating turn as we step inside Jaipur’s glittering, bejewelled palaces, ride a rickshaw through the twisting streets of Old Delhi, and watch the sun rise over the exquisite Taj Mahal.
