An economical way to travel to from Delhi to Kathmandu is by train to Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh, then bus or shared jeep to the border in Sunauli), then another bus or shared jeep to Kathmandu.There are quite a few trains that run from Delhi to Gorakhpur. However, ideally, you'll want one that arrives very early in the morning. That's because it's around three hours by bus from Gorakhpur to the border, and day buses to Kathmandu stop running by late morning (overnight buses leave in the late afternoon and evening, but they take longer to get there and you'll miss the stunning scenery). In regards to trains, the Asr Kir Express (#15708) departs Delhi at 3.30 p.m. and arrives in Gorakhpur at 5.50 a.m. Another option with slightly earlier departure and arrival times is the Ndls Njp Sf Exp (#12524). It doesn't run every day though. The fare is 318 rupees in Sleeper Class up to 1,150 rupees in 2AC (more about classes of accommodations on Indian Railways trains). A bus from Sunauli to Kathmandu will cost around 500 rupees upwards.
