A TourRadar reviewer noted: "Our 14-day tour gave us enough time to really experience both countries without feeling rushed."
What is the typical group size for small group tours in India and Nepal?
Groups generally consist of 6-12 travelers offering a balance between social interaction and personal space.

Larger groups of 5-10 travel in mini-vans ensuring comfort on longer journeys. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Our small group size meant we could use a comfortable minivan instead of a large bus making it much easier to navigate India's busy streets and Nepal's mountain roads."
How much interaction with local communities is possible on small group tours?
Small groups regularly engage with local communities through homestays village walks and market visits. Travelers spend time in places like the Barauli Community in Chitwan meet monks in Kathmandu's monasteries and join local families for meals.

One TourRadar traveler shared: "The intimate group size allowed us to really connect with communities like when we visited a traditional farmhouse in Bhutan and learned about their way of life."
What type of accommodation can I expect on small group tours?
Accommodations include selected 3-4 star hotels such as Hotel Classic Diplomat in Delhi and Hotel Jungle Crown Resort in Chitwan National Park. These properties blend local character with modern comforts and convenient access to attractions. A TourRadar review noted: "Accommodation was basic but comfortable. It was also well planned so that if we had been in a tent one night we could recover in a more comfortable hotel the next."
What cultural experiences are unique to small group tours in India and Nepal?
The small group format allows for direct cultural connections including family meals in Jaipur morning yoga by the Ganges in Varanasi and private temple ceremonies in Nepal. Stays at heritage properties like Bundelkhand Riverside in Orchha complement hands-on activities such as cooking classes. As shared by a TourRadar traveler: "The small group size allowed us to visit local homes learn about traditions firsthand and have meaningful interactions that wouldn't be possible with larger groups."
