14 Days Luxury India & Nepal Journey
13 Nights / 14 Days
Delhi · Agra · Jaipur · Varanasi · Kathmandu · Pokhara
Tour Overview
This 14 Days Luxury India & Nepal Journey is designed for travellers who want India's classic heritage and spiritual traditions combined with Nepal's living culture and Himalayan landscape. The route links Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Varanasi, Kathmandu and Pokhara with private chauffeur service, expert local guides, carefully selected luxury hotels and a slower pace in the most rewarding destinations.
Recommended stays include The Oberoi New Delhi, The Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra, The Oberoi Rajvilas in Jaipur, Taj Nadesar Palace in Varanasi, The Dwarika’s in Kathmandu and The Pavilions Himalayas in Pokhara, subject to availability, preferred room or villa category and final travel dates.
The India section begins with Delhi and the Taj Mahal before moving through royal Jaipur and spiritual Varanasi. Each city is given enough time for private guiding, hotel leisure and meaningful cultural experiences rather than simply moving through a checklist of monuments.
Nepal changes the rhythm of the journey. Kathmandu focuses on Newari heritage, Buddhist and Hindu traditions and carefully paced valley exploration, while Pokhara provides a softer mountain finish with Himalayan views, lake experiences and resort leisure.
