Epic India to Nepal (from New Delhi to Kathmandu)

If India and Nepal are calling your name, this is your sign to take on a 21-day adventure. Eat your weight in delicious street food, tick one of the Seven Wonders of the World (the Taj Mahal of course) off your bucket list and cruise down the holy Ganges. Hang in Buddha’s hometown, search for sloth bears and rhinos at Chitwan National Park, stay with local families and dive into colourful Kathmandu. Pull on your adventure boots for whitewater rafting on the Trisuli River, then trek in the Annapurna region. End it all back in Nepal’s capital, where you can choose to take a yoga class, go sightseeing or maybe extend your adventure and Zen out at your own pace!This trip involves travel on public transport, covering large distances meaning some long travel days. Long-distance and overnight trains can often be delayed and occasionally cancelled due to heavy fog between December and February. Some patience will go a long way towards your enjoyment here. Sit back, relax and watch the scenery go by (a book or podcast won't hurt either). Weather in India and Nepal can be very hot in summer and surprisingly cold in winter, so please pack accordingly so you aren't caught out! Check seasonal weather guides and pick a travel time that suits your comfort level. For one night of this trip, you’ll be camping by the Trisuli River. This is at a permanent campsite where tents, mats and blankets are provided, and toilet facilities are basic. Outside of the main towns, Nepal can be a quiet place, with few tourist attractions and options for organised activities or meal choices. There is plenty of time for your own exploration or relaxation. Don't expect each day to be action-packed, but be ready to seek out your own, more simple cultural experiences.
