North India & Nepal Tour Package 15-Day Private Luxury Journey from Imperial India to the Himalayas
Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan, with the Taj Mahal, Himalayan views, ancient temples and wildlife, all with private transport and local guides.
This North India Nepal tour package is designed for travellers who want more than a sightseeing holiday. Over fifteen days, the journey connects India's most celebrated cultural landmarks with Nepal's mountain landscapes. Private transport, carefully selected hotels, flexible pacing and personalised service let you enjoy each destination without feeling rushed.
The journey begins in Delhi, continues to Agra for the Taj Mahal and then to Jaipur, the royal capital of Rajasthan. Together these cities form India's famous Golden Triangle, an introduction to the country's rich cultural heritage.
Then the atmosphere changes. In Kathmandu and the nearby heritage towns of Patan and Bhaktapur, ancient temples and hidden courtyards give a very different feel to the cities you have already seen. In Pokhara, snow-capped peaks reflect across Phewa Lake, and the journey ends with wildlife in Chitwan National Park.
Every detail is arranged privately, so you can travel at your own pace, with the comfort and attention expected from a luxury India and Nepal holiday. Compare other routes in our Golden Triangle tour packages.

What Our Travellers Say About Our India & Nepal Tours
An Unforgettable Journey Across India and Nepal
“Our journey through India and Nepal was a wonderful combination of history, culture and natural beauty. Seeing the Taj Mahal at sunrise was a real highlight, while Jaipur’s magnificent forts and palaces were equally impressive. Kathmandu offered a fascinating change of pace, with its ancient temples and vibrant streets. The itinerary brought together two very different countries in a comfortable and memorable way.”
David & Helen Parker
United Kingdom
From Rajasthan’s Palaces to the Himalayas
“We loved the variety of experiences on this holiday. India offered magnificent architecture, colourful markets and so much history, while Nepal impressed us with its peaceful lakes and spectacular mountain scenery. Watching the sunrise over the Himalayas near Pokhara was particularly special. The private arrangements gave us the flexibility to enjoy each destination at a relaxed pace.”

Culture, Wildlife and Beautiful Landscapes
“This was an excellent way to experience the many contrasts of North India and Nepal. We enjoyed exploring historic monuments, discovering Kathmandu’s cultural heritage and seeing a completely different side of Nepal in Chitwan National Park. The combination of cities, mountains and wildlife made every part of the journey feel different. We came away with wonderful memories and a deeper appreciation of both countries.”
Mark & Louise Thompson

A Well-Planned Private Holiday
“We wanted to explore both India and Nepal without the pressure of a large group tour, and this private journey suited us very well. The historic sights in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur were fascinating, while the temples and traditional architecture of the Kathmandu Valley gave us a wonderful insight into Nepalese culture. We particularly appreciated the balance between guided sightseeing and time to relax along the way.”
