About This Journey
Gorakhpur is the closest major Indian city to the Nepal border, which makes it the natural starting point for a road-based Nepal trip. The Sonauli crossing is roughly 90 km from Gorakhpur, and because so many of our travellers already live in or near the city, this is our highest-volume Nepal departure. Depart Gorakhpur by private cab, cross at Sonauli (approx. 3–4 hrs to the border), continue to Kathmandu.
Every Nepal holiday package from this route includes hotel stay, private transport once you're in Nepal, sightseeing, and border-crossing or airport assistance. Indian citizens can travel with a valid passport or a government photo ID such as a voter card, though a passport makes hotel check-ins noticeably smoother.

Best Time to Visit
October to April is Nepal's most reliable travel window — clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and good visibility for mountain viewpoints like Sarangkot. This is when the majority of our bookings from Gorakhpur are concentrated.
The monsoon (June to September) brings regular rainfall and reduces visibility at viewpoints, though temples and city sightseeing remain unaffected. We'd suggest booking two to three weeks ahead during the October–April peak season.
Itinerary — Day by Day
Day 1
Gorakhpur to Kathmandu
Depart Gorakhpur by private cab for the roughly 90 km drive to the Sonauli border, the most-used road crossing between India and Nepal. Immigration formalities typically take 30-60 minutes with a valid passport or government photo ID, after which the journey continues to Kathmandu, arriving by evening. Check in and rest — the first day is kept free of sightseeing after a genuinely full day of travel.
Day 2
Kathmandu Temple Circuit
A full day covering Kathmandu's essential temple circuit with a local guide: Pashupatinath, one of Hinduism's holiest shrines on the banks of the Bagmati River; Swayambhunath, the hilltop Buddhist stupa often called the Monkey Temple, with panoramic valley views; and Boudhanath, one of the largest stupas in the world and the centre of Kathmandu's Tibetan Buddhist community, particularly atmospheric at dusk when butter lamps are lit.
Day 3
Drive to Pokhara
The drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara covers roughly 200 km and takes 6-7 hours, passing through changing hill terrain as the Kathmandu Valley gives way to Pokhara's lakeside setting. On arrival, check in and spend the evening boating on Phewa Lake — a relaxed way to end a long travel day, with reflected mountain views on clear evenings.
Day 4
Sarangkot Sunrise & Return
An early start takes you to Sarangkot, the viewpoint above Pokhara known for sunrise views over the Annapurna and Machapuchare (Fishtail) peaks — visibility depends on clear weather, so treat it as a highlight rather than a guarantee. The rest of the morning is free by Phewa Lake before beginning the return journey toward the border.

Why Book This With Us
Every hotel and driver on this itinerary has been personally checked by someone on our team — not pulled from a third-party listing we've never verified. If a hotel becomes unavailable or a route needs adjusting before your trip, we call you before it becomes your problem to discover on arrival, rather than leaving you to find out at check-in.
Our travel desk stays reachable by phone for the full length of your trip, not just until you've paid the advance. That matters most when something minor goes sideways — a delayed pickup, a room mix-up — and there's an actual person to call who already knows your itinerary.
