Nepal Tour Package from Kolkata – 6 Nights / 7 Days

Howrah to Raxaul by night train, Nepal by road — a 6 Nights / 7 Days tour from Kolkata

Overview

The eastern gateway into Nepal

Quick answer

Our Nepal tour package from Kolkata is a 6 Nights / 7 Days trip covering Raxaul, Birgunj, Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan. From Kolkata, take the train to Raxaul for the border crossing, or fly straight to Kathmandu, where the same plan can start. The best time to go is After Durga Puja, October–November, and February–March for Chitwan wildlife. Prices are on request with a free written quote.

Kolkata travellers have a route of their own: an overnight train from Howrah to Raxaul, and the Birgunj border crossing just beyond the station. From Birgunj the road climbs to Kathmandu, so the Nepal tour package from Kolkata starts in the capital and ends in the jungle at Chitwan, close to the border for the train home.

Families from Howrah, Hooghly and North 24 Parganas travel on the same train.
