This tour is jam-packed with places to see and things to do, but it is also a lot of time on the road either in train or taxi. I would recommend this to someone who wants to see a lot of cities in north India and Nepal, and does not mind the long journeys

Fantastic range of activities on this particular trip. Some friends/families may not enjoy the pace of the itinerary though
