14 Days India & Nepal Family Discovery
Included:
Accommodation
Private Vehicle
Sightseeing
Daily Breakfast
Tour Overview
This 14 Days India & Nepal Family Discovery is designed for families who want to combine two countries without rushing through either one. The journey links Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Varanasi in India with Kathmandu and Pokhara in Nepal, balancing major cultural experiences with proper rest and lighter travel days.
It is especially suitable for international and NRI families travelling with older children, teenagers or grandparents. The itinerary mixes the Taj Mahal, Jaipur's royal heritage, Varanasi's river traditions, Kathmandu's historic squares and Pokhara's relaxed lake-and-mountain atmosphere.
The India section is paced more gently than a standard Golden Triangle plus Varanasi circuit, with separate travel and sightseeing blocks where possible. Nepal then provides a softer second half, particularly in Pokhara.
The route can be adapted for younger children or older family members by shortening walks, reducing monument visits and replacing demanding excursions with cafés, hotel time or easier viewpoints.
Domestic and international regional flights, river activities, mountain visibility and local sightseeing remain subject to current schedules, weather and operating conditions.
Tour Highlights:
- Private family journey through India and Nepal.
- Explore Delhi, Agra and Jaipur at a comfortable pace.
- Visit the Taj Mahal with family-friendly guiding.
- Experience Ganga Aarti and a sunrise boat ride in Varanasi.
- Discover Kathmandu's heritage and living culture.
- Relax in Pokhara with lake and mountain experiences.
- Flexible pacing with built-in rest throughout the journey.
