Nepal Tour Package from Chennai – 7 Nights / 8 Days

Saligramam, the Himalayan Divya Desam — a 7 Nights / 8 Days Muktinath tour from Chennai

Overview

Muktinath for Tamil pilgrims

Quick answer

Our Nepal tour package from Chennai is a 7 Nights / 8 Days trip covering Kathmandu, Pokhara, Jomsom, Muktinath, Pokhara, Kathmandu. From Chennai, most travellers fly to Kathmandu and the tour starts at the airport; the train to Gorakhpur is the slower alternative. The best time to go is March–May and October–November. We send the price as a written quote once you share your dates.

Tamil Srivaishnavas know Muktinath as Saligramam, one of the 108 Divya Desams, and the Kali Gandaki river below it as the source of the sacred saligrama stones. This Nepal tour package from Chennai is built around that darshan, with Kathmandu and Pokhara on either side.

Chennai is far from Nepal, so the trip is longer — 7 Nights / 8 Days — to make the journey worthwhile and allow for mountain weather.

How to reach

  1. Your departure from ChennaiBoard at MGR Chennai Central (MAS), or fly from Chennai International (MAA).
  2. By air, straight to KathmanduFly from Chennai to Kathmandu with one change in Delhi or Bengaluru; you land at Tribhuvan airport the same day.
  3. Prefer the train?Trains from Chennai Central to Gorakhpur take close to two days, so they rarely suit a short holiday.
  4. Where we meet youTrain travellers are met at Gorakhpur station; flyers are met at Kathmandu airport arrivals and the same plan then runs from Kathmandu.
  5. Tour day oneArrive in Kathmandu.
  6. Heading home to ChennaiFlyers end the tour at Kathmandu airport for the flight home to Chennai; train travellers are dropped at Gorakhpur station for the return train.

Timetables are revised from time to time, so check the current schedule on IRCTC before buying tickets.

Why an extra buffer day

The Pokhara–Jomsom flight is weather-dependent. We keep a buffer day in Pokhara so a delayed flight does not cost you the darshan.
