About this trip
A pilgrimage route through the sacred sites of the north-central plain and the hill capital, guided throughout by a national guide rather than a driver alone.
Entrance fees to the non-optional sites are included, which is unusual at this price and worth checking against any other quote you hold.
Cancellation: no charge more than 30 days before arrival; 50 per cent from 30 to 21 days; 100 per cent inside 21 days.
