The short answer
Ahmedabad travellers usually fly with a connection, often through Delhi or Mumbai, and take five to seven days for Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan. Gujarati families often travel in large groups at festival and holiday times, so early booking helps with seats and hotels.
Pashupatinath, Muktinath and Janakpur are common pilgrimage requests. Pure vegetarian and Jain-friendly meals are a frequent request, and the main tourist towns can usually arrange them with notice. Always state the exact dietary rule when you enquire instead of assuming.
