The short answer
Chandigarh and Punjab travellers usually go via Delhi: a flight to Kathmandu from Delhi after a train or road leg, or a train to Gorakhpur. Delhi is the usual hub, so the route matches what is described for Delhi travellers.
Families from this region often ask for a Kathmandu and Pokhara holiday, with Pashupatinath and a hill resort. The sightseeing part is the same as from any city, so the home-end planning is about the Delhi connection and a rest day on arrival.
