Kathmandu<- ->Kathmandu (WKZ)

From: $4660 + Kitty

Overview

82 days between Kathmandu and Kathmandu

Ask anyone who has travelled the world what their most life-affirming trip has been and it’s very likely to be answered: ‘India’. As the only major operator to offer overland trips around India, the country’s well-known north as well as trips which circumnavigate almost the entire sub-continent, allow us to show you the ‘hidden’ side to this diverse country we’re so passionate about. Not just the major must-sees like the Taj Mahal, floating down the Ganges, or navigating the backwaters of Kerala, but unique, grass-roots encounters that very few visitors experience, such as staying in tribal villages in Orissa, enjoying true Indian hospitality in a homestay or reaching remote religious temples in out of the way places.
