I've been looking at vacation stuff. A friend recommended gap adventures and they have some cool trips and a good approach to traveling.
This best of India and Nepal is looking like the really enticing one that may just be too much time away from work and a bit of a budget breaker.
http://www.gapadventures.com/trips/best-of-india-and-nepal/AHHN/2010/ It's actually combining two shorter trips. The Nepal leg and the India leg can be taken separately. I'm thinking maybe the Nepal leg looks like the right trip at the right time. March-April is the best time to go. Maybe?
