If you're looking for a journey that's both spiritual and adventurous, this trip from the Indian capital of Delhi all the way to Mount Everest base camp might be the one for you. Crossing both northern India and Nepal, you'll come across gorgeous temples, mountains and impressive cities like Delhi, Jaipur and Kathmandu. The end of your trip will be marked by undertaking the challenging Mount Everest basecamp trek, seeing views only few of us will ever get to see. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

 

But before reaching Mount Everest there's a whole slew of other goodies waiting for you. Starting off in Delhi with some proper city exploration, you can get used to the tastes, smells and quirks of India. After a few days, it's time to meet the group of like-minded travellers who will be your group for the coming two weeks on a journey taking you from Delhi to Kathmandu via authentic dinners in Pushkar, amazing temples in Jaipur, the Taj Mahal in Agra and spiritual days in Varansi.

Once it's time to cross the border, the treats won't stop coming. First up is Lumbini: the birthplace of Buddha and a UNESCO World Heritage site. After exploring the spiritual grounds here, you'll be taken to Barauli village where you'll be staying in a homestay, close to Chitwan National Park. You'll be sleeping here for two nights, so there is plenty of time to learn about the local culture of the Tharu people and to go on safari in the national park. If you're lucky, you'll be able to see rhinos and tigers here!

In Pokhara you'll learn how to make Nepalese dumplings, and after a scenic journey through a Himalayan landscape you'll finally arrive in Kathmandu where it's time to gear up for the final and most demanding leg of the trip: the teahouse trek to Mount Everest basecamp.
