The short answer
Surat and Vadodara travellers usually combine the Mumbai or Ahmedabad air links with a connecting flight to Kathmandu, taking five to seven days for the standard Kathmandu and Pokhara trip. Groups from this region often travel together from the same community or society, so private departures are common.
Vegetarian food and fixed meal times are frequent requests, and so is a pilgrimage mix of Pashupatinath, Muktinath and Janakpur. For group travel, agree the number of vehicles, the hotel layout and the meal plan in advance, so the group is not split at check-in.
