Two weeks is too short a time to cover the list, unless you are on touch and go schedule.
You will have to be more specific with Himalayas, as these mountains stretch from the north to the east, over nearly 2000 miles.
I doubt that one travel agent can help with all of these places.

For logistical reasons, I would have to visit a location in the Himalayas that is close to, either Delhi or Varanasi. I wouldn't want to trek so far from those cities that I need a plane.

I want to take, maybe, a 2-day hike in the mountains to view them and experience the area. It would also be a nice bonus (but not absolutely necessary) to visit a monastery, too.
