The fullest itinerary takes you tiger-tracking in Ranthambore National Park before heading to Nepal's Chitwan National Park for elephant-back exploration. TourRadar customers tell us they love how the activities flow - from navigating Old Delhi's spice markets by rickshaw to paddling canoes through Chitwan's quiet waters. Wildlife enthusiasts often choose the four-park tour across both countries. You'll walk through village paths, learn to cook traditional Bhutanese dishes and visit centuries-old monasteries. What makes it special? Our travelers mention how having the same driver throughout India helped them understand local customs better and got great insider tips.

Guide Amit Tomar has earned high praise from our German travelers for his personal approach, especially the daily WhatsApp updates that smooth transitions between countries. The journey flows from Old Delhi's spice markets by rickshaw to tiger tracking in Ranthambore, and then up to Leh's monasteries where Pangong Lake changes colors through the day. In Nepal, groups glide by canoe through Chitwan's waterways spotting rhinos, elephants and also wildlife. The Bhutan segment includes meals in local farmhouse kitchens, where families share traditional recipes. Our TourRadar travelers often mention how keeping the same driver throughout India helped them grasp local customs, discover hidden photography spots and also learn insider tips.

Top India and Nepal travel itineraries to fit your plans
Ten-day tours combine India's Golden Triangle with Nepal's rich heritage. You'll ride rickshaws through Delhi's buzzing spice markets, catch the first light at the Taj Mahal and climb up to Jaipur's Amber Fort by elephant. Our travelers consistently tell us how much they value keeping the same driver throughout India - it really helps them understand local customs better. Many tours include extras like cooking with local families and meeting traditional craftspeople. In Kathmandu, you'll visit the ancient Swayambhunath stupa and Pashupatinath temple, though our customers often say adding the optional Everest mountain flight is worth every penny for those incredible Himalayan views.
Two weeks gives you proper time to understand what makes these countries tick. Some routes kick off in Dubai's old Bastakiya Quarter before heading into India, while others focus entirely on the subcontinent - from Delhi's Red Fort through to Varanasi's riverside ghats and Nepal's valley temples. These longer trips stand out because you can really dig deeper - there's time for early morning Ganges boat rides, proper visits to craft workshops and solid wildlife watching in Chitwan National Park. Our guests particularly like how these tours mix guided activities with free time, especially in places like Kathmandu where there's so much to explore independently.
TourRadar recommends visiting:
Kolkata (Calcutta), Sundarbans National Park, Darjeeling, Pelling, Gangtok, Rumtek, Kalimpong, Phuentsholing, Thimphu, Punakha, Paro, Kathmandu

Best time to visit India and Nepal
- Summer 2025
Summer tours head to higher ground where the weather stays comfortable. Our most-booked summer routes take you through Ladakh to see Pangong Lake's shifting colors and into the monasteries around Leh. From there, you'll move into Nepal's cooler hills and Bhutan's cultural highlights. Our travelers often talk about guides like Amit Tomar, who helps them understand the local summer festivals and customs in detail. Several routes include stops at Paro's sacred places and finish with rewarding hikes to monasteries with mountain views. Summer rains turn Bhutan incredibly green, making it great for photos.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter gives you perfect weather to explore cultural sites and wildlife areas across India and Nepal. One of our most popular winter routes starts in Dubai's old Bastakiya Quarter - you'll cross Dubai Creek in traditional wooden boats and see the city lights from up on Burj Khalifa's deck. Once in India, the cool winter air makes dawn tiger safaris in Ranthambore National Park especially good, and it's the right time to catch sunrise at the Taj Mahal. Our guests tell us they love how the milder temperatures let them really enjoy exploring Old Delhi's spice markets by rickshaw. The journey ends in Nepal where winter brings the clearest mountain views and great conditions for wandering through Kathmandu's ancient temples and busy market streets.

Spring fills the Himalayas with flowers and offers the best visibility of the mountains. Our spring routes through India, Nepal and Bhutan make the most of the season - you'll walk through Kathmandu's historic squares, visit local farmhouses in rural Bhutan and make your way up to Tiger's Nest Monastery on its cliff edge. TourRadar customers often mention how much they enjoy visiting Darjeeling's tea estates when the new leaves are coming in. Many tours include time at Chitwan National Park, where spring brings out the wildlife - you'll often spot rhinos and elephants near the water. The pleasant temperatures make it just right for exploring Delhi's historic sites and Agra's impressive Mughal buildings.

How do people usually travel between India and Nepal?
Getting between India and Nepal is pretty flexible these days. You can hop on a quick flight from Delhi straight to Kathmandu if you're short on time or dive into a more adventurous road trip across the border. The land crossings are actually really interesting - you'll get to experience border town life and mix with locals using different transport options from buses to private cars. A lot of travelers like taking that Delhi-Kathmandu flight but if you're up for something more authentic try the road journey from Varanasi to Kathmandu through Sunauli it's quite an experience.
What are some hidden gems for trekking in Nepal that most people don't know about?
While everyone knows the Kathmandu-Pokhara-Chitwan route there's so much more to discover in Nepal. The Annapurna Circuit is incredible you'll trek through these amazing landscapes and traditional villages with the Himalayas as your backdrop. If you're interested in Buddhist heritage Lumbini Buddha's birthplace is fascinating or head east to experience something really unique - the Mundum Trail Trek where you can immerse yourself in Kirat Rai culture. That Mundum trail is actually part of a specialized cultural trek that's gaining popularity with travelers looking for something different.
What kinds of local cultural experiences can you join in Nepal?
Nepal's got this amazing cultural scene you can really dive into. In Chitwan you can watch these incredible Tharu stick dances they're pretty mesmerizing. If you're into food head to the Mustang region where locals will show you how to cook traditional Thakali dishes. Over in Patan you can learn about Newari woodcarving it's fascinating watching the artisans work and you can even take home something they've made. The Tharu dance performances are actually included in that India Nepal and Bhutan tour it's a highlight for many visitors.
Which places in India are worth visiting but don't get too crowded?
Everyone rushes to the Taj Mahal but India's got these amazing spots that fly under the radar. Take Orchha in Madhya Pradesh it's got these incredible 16th-century palaces and temples that tell the story of the Bundela dynasty. Then there's Fatehpur Sikri near Agra with its stunning Buland Darwaza you get all the Mughal grandeur without the usual tourist crowds. The Amazing Nepal Bhutan with India tour actually includes Orchha and it's often people's unexpected favorite stop.
What's the best way to get around in India?
Getting around India is part of the adventure really. The train network is extensive and those overnight trips on trains like the Darjeeling Mail are an experience in themselves. You've got comfortable AC buses between cities and if you want more flexibility hiring a car with a driver lets you explore at your own pace. In cities like Delhi the auto-rickshaws and cycle-rickshaws are perfect for getting around the busy streets. That Real Delhi to Kathmandu tour actually includes both express AC trains and cycle rickshaw rides through Old Delhi it's a great mix of transport experiences.
