Is this trip right for you?
In the summer months, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh can get very hot. Be sure to drink lots of water, pack light cotton clothing and use adequate skin protection.
It can get foggy between December and February, which can put a spin on the already spectacular scenery. However, it may cause traffic congestion and delays.
Exploring Chitwan National Park’s beautiful trails on foot requires a reasonable level fitness.

Intrepid's Premium India and Nepal trip is one not to miss! The itinerary was perfect with activities and sites that were amazing. The extra level of comfort (nice hotels) and the included aspects (included local tips, extra included meals, super fun rickshaw rides) were worth it to have a wonderful trip. I am well traveled and this is one of my top trips of a lifetime. Our guides were top notch in every aspect. Don't miss this trip!

India and Nepal are 2 different countries that provide the visitors with such different experiences. Fantastic and culturally magical, without such tour guides like Ankita and Satya the tour would not be so successful.

We have not encountered a holiday with Intrepid before but in future we will seek out holidays where there are Intrepid leaders. We felt very safe.

Fabulous countries, awful organisation with even WORSE hotels. The bars in India made up prices just looking at you. Hotels in Nepal were better, but the WiFi was pretty much non existent. Overall, awful.
