About this trip
Fifteen days overland from Delhi to Kathmandu, taking in some of India's best-known sights alongside a proper dose of Nepal's wildlife and mountains. You'll travel with a small group of other young travellers, moving at a fast clip between places rather than settling in anywhere for long.
Expect a mix of classic stops — the Taj Mahal, Pushkar — and quieter moments on the water, with a boat ride on the Ganges and the option of a jeep safari in Chitwan National Park. The route ends among the Himalayas, a fair contrast to the noise and colour of India earlier on.
The days are guided and the logistics sorted for you, but there's enough free time built in to explore on your own terms rather than follow a rigid schedule throughout.
What you'll do
- See the Taj Mahal in Agra
- Explore Pushkar
- Sail the Ganges
- Optional jeep safari in Chitwan National Park
- Travel through the Himalayas of Nepal
- Finish in Kathmandu
- Fast-paced — you're changing location often over the 15 days
- Rated easy, but it's a long overland route through two countries
- Good fit if you want a mix of sightseeing, wildlife and some downtime rather than a slow, single-region trip
Worth it if you want a fast-paced, guide-led experience with genuine local insight and don't mind early starts. Think twice if you need clarity on what's actually included or have ethical concerns about animal activities.
- Your guide makes or breaks this tour—multiple reviewers credit guides like Khushwant and Abhimanyu for safety, insider tips, and genuine connection.
- Activity costs are not transparent upfront; safari and meals cost significantly more than itinerary suggests, making budget planning genuinely difficult.
- Tour includes camel rides and live animal performances that reviewers flagged as involving mistreated animals, despite company's claims otherwise.
- Early starts are frequent and the pace is relentless, but you do see major sites properly and get genuine city feel rather than tourist bubble.
