Nepal Tour Packages from Mumbai

From Chaityabhoomi to the Buddha's birthplace at Lumbini — 5N/6D in Nepal

Overview

A Buddhist journey from Mumbai

Quick answer

Our Nepal tour package from Mumbai is a 5N/6D trip covering Kathmandu, Manakamana, Pokhara, Lumbini. From Mumbai, 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 October–November and March–April. The cost is quoted in writing for your dates.

Below is our Nepal tour package from Mumbai: 5N/6D, with a private vehicle from the joining point. Many Mumbai families, especially from Maharashtra's large Buddhist community, plan Nepal around one place: Lumbini, where the Buddha was born. This plan gives Lumbini a proper half-day and adds an optional stop at Kushinagar, the place of the Buddha's Mahaparinirvana, about 50 km from Gorakhpur.

From Mumbai the train to Gorakhpur is about 30 hours, so most families fly straight to Kathmandu.
