About the trip
This escorted tour by G Adventures takes you from the dawn rituals on the Ganges in Varanasi to the quieter mountain air of Kathmandu. Your first days include a sunrise boat ride on the Ganges, and a walk through the old city to absorb the layered history that is often louder than the crowds. From there, the journey crosses into Nepal where Lumbini offers a chance to see the solemn birthplace of Buddha, with its ancient temples and peaceful gardens.
