I am going to be traveling in Delhi area, India, and want to continue my trip to Nepal. What are my options in going from Delhi to Nepal?
You can fly between Delhi and Kathmandu for about $150 with RNAC or Air India. The actual flight time, not counting the endless delays and cancellations, is only a little more than an hour. However, note that Delhi-Kathmandu-Delhi flight is very busy and without proper reservations (or proper strings to pull) can be booked weeks in advance. Make your reservations and buy your ticket well in advance. Alternatively, you can travel overland to Kathmandu. You can get a bus from Delhi to Kathmandu. You can also take the night train to Gorakhpur in northern India, then a bus to the Nepalese border (Sunauli), walk across the border to Nepal, spend the night there, and from there take a bus to Kathmandu or Pokhara. The trip can be quite long, both in terms of time (it takes about two days and nights) and what you may go through during the trip (with tickets, safety, weather, border harassment etc). Not recommended for those who are less adventurous than most. Definitely not recommended for lon
