Northern India & Nepal

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Northern India and Nepal together form one of the world's most iconic travel corridors, stretching from the ancient cities of Delhi, Varanasi, and Jaipur to the foothills and high peaks of the Himalayas. The region is home to UNESCO World Heritage Sites including the Taj Mahal, Kathmandu's temple complexes, and the historic city of Bhaktapur, as well as sacred pilgrimage destinations for Hindus and Buddhists alike. Travellers come for an extraordinary mix of experiences — trekking to Everest Base Camp or the Annapurna Circuit, exploring Rajasthan's desert forts and palaces, and immersing in the spiritual atmosphere of the Ganges at Varanasi. The combination of dramatic landscapes, deep cultural heritage, and vibrant street life makes this one of the most rewarding and diverse regions for independent and group travel.

Highlights of Northern India & Nepal: Self-Launched Adventure

From pulsating Delhi to the rooftop of the world in Kathmandu, this self-launched version of Exodus's classic Northern India & Nepal tour covers all the same iconic stops — the Golden Triangle, sacred Varanasi, the jungles of Chitwan, and the Annapurna-framed lakes of Pokhara — at a fraction of the guided tour price. Swap the private minibus for local trains and shared transport, book activities directly or via GetYourGuide, and stay in well-reviewed budget hotels and guesthouses. These cost estimates are approximate and based on current backpacker rates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Northern India & Nepal yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
