Always 2004,I believe this route is a good route especially for the elders. I travelled through Indianot very long ago and I enjjoyed it. The air crew (no matter what airline) would speakHindi and belong to same culture. So, there won't be any hassle at all. My experience was with Air India and the air crew were very helpful and courteous. In Delhi, after immigration clearance, they can either go to the overnight stay place as immensed hassaid (I was not aware of this facility or else I would have used it) or they can just stay inside the terminal. Flight to Nepal would be from the same International terminal.You might know as well that Delhi International Airports (both the Palam Int'l airportand Indira Gandhi Int'l airport) like many other South Asian Int'l airports have onlyone Int'l terminal and they are not big. Only ticketed passengers are allowed to enterthe airport premises, so they should be fine. There are many food and drinks stalls inside the Delhi airport and Special Airport Security (for internatinal travellers) as well airline people presence is all the time. If they have to ask any questions toanyone regarding anything, tell them to only ask uniformed people or preferably airlines people so that they would not be asked for any bribes. What airline are they flying through??? I found Air India and Indian Airlines to be quite helpful.  Don't worry they will be just fine. Happy Journey to them!
