Overview
This trip itinerary has been drafted by combining major places of tourist interests in the valley of Kathmandu and northern India. These two countries are a perfect blend for wanderers looking out for journeys rich in both biodiversity hotspots and culture. On one side, we observe the magnificent heritage of Buddhism and the Mughal empire; while on the contrary, we get exposed to the dense national parks and world’s highest mountain peak.
