The short answer
Jaipur travellers can fly via Delhi, or take a train to Gorakhpur or Lucknow and cross by road, which suits pilgrims with several days to spare. Both work, but they feel very different, and flying keeps a one-week holiday realistic.
Many Jaipur groups ask for Pashupatinath, Pokhara and Muktinath in one plan. If you travel by train, plan the border time and the road into Nepal carefully and keep a day of buffer, because a long train and a long road day add up.
