The classic Nepal triangle, shaped for family travel. Each place has a different feel, so children stay interested: temples and markets, a boat on the lake, and elephants and jungle at the park edge, subject to park rules and ethical practice.
We recommend short domestic flights where possible to cut long road days. Compare the family route with Lumbini.
