Planning a trip to India and Nepal
Pulled from the route below — so it says what it does, not what a brochure would.
When to go
Oct–Nov — the months this route recommends.
How long you need
Every route here runs 13 days.
What it costs
≈ AED 500 per person per day. Beds, food, getting around and things to do — costed line by line in each guide, not estimated from a daily rate.
Entry on an Indian passport
Two sets of rules on this trip, and both have to be sorted before you fly.
- India: No visa needed, No limit. Home.
- Nepal: No visa needed, No limit. No visa at all, and a voter ID or Aadhaar will do instead of a passport. The 1950 treaty carries rights to live and work.
Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with each embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.
Where these routes go: Delhi · Agra · Jaipur · Varanasi · Kathmandu · Pokhara.

Best for: The subcontinent's three great cities and then the mountains above them
India and Nepal in 13 days: the Golden Triangle, Varanasi and the Himalaya
Delhi → Agra → Jaipur → Varanasi → Kathmandu → Pokhara
A marble tomb at sunrise, a pink city of forts, the ghats where the Ganges meets the business of dying — and then an hour in the air to a valley of pagoda temples with the Annapurnas on the skyline behind it.
