Trip Overview

Nepal Bhutan tour is an 11 days tour that is a combination of vibrant culture and serene natural beauties. The trip begins with rich cultural sightseeing of Kathmandu valley including almost all the historical monuments such as Pashupatinath Temple, which is devoted to Lord Shiva, Kathmandu Durbar Square, and the Swayambhunath stupa, Boudhanath Stupa where the ancient trade route of Tibet lies. 

While you are in Nepal you will visit the historical monuments which are listed as world heritage sites. Also, you will see the lifestyle of yogis and Monks in the temples and monasteries who portray an untroubled lifestyle. After that, you will advance your journey towards the second largest city after Kathmandu to witness the beauty of majestic mountain peaks and continue the trip by observing the lifestyle of the local people in Pokhara. 

After completing your tour in Nepal, you will advance towards Druk Yul “Land of Thunder Dragon” by short flight which will take around 1 hour and 30 mins from Kathmandu. Several Dzongs, monasteries, Stupas, and temples are the witness to its tranquil environment. The journey goes through Paro, Thimphu, Gangtay, and Punakha where the dominant monuments are located. 

Alongside the tourist sites, Bhutan gives you an unfrequented path to experience where one must hike about (4 hours) to reach the most famous  Tiger's Nest monastery. The pristine nature and protected culture make these destinations worth a visit. The Paro valley is renowned for its lush greenery and ancient architecture in the form of temples and monasteries. 

Energetic culture, religious place, spectacular Himalayan vista, and hospitable people add fragility to the second half of the tour. Travelers often experience spiritual tranquility and due to this reason, Nepal is ranked as the second most peaceful nation in South Asia after Bhutan.

Kathmandu, the city of temples, and Pokhara, the city of lakes, have highlights that will have a long-lasting wonderful impact on your visit. The latter is a paradise for you because it meets your expectations naturally. Everything there meets your expectations, and these are the hidden delights of Pokhara actually.

In the midst of the attractions, Pokhara is a great city to be in. It is not only a city to stroll in but also the perfect city which has the backdrop of the Annapurna Ranges, and is followed by must-see travel places. Pokhara is the place from where you can see the majestic mountains such as Machhapuchhre (6993m) from an elevation of just 822m. Pokhara is known as the gateway of the most admired trekking in Nepal which is inside the Annapurna conservation area.

Bhutan is a beautiful country rich in natural as well as cultural heritage. During the Bhutan tour, you will observe the fabulous views of snow-capped mountains, gorges, and the dense forests of Bhutan. Bhutan is one of the last Shangri Las in the Himalayan region. The lush subtropical plains in the south to subalpine Himalayan mountains in the North make this country the best destination to travel to.

What to expect from the Nepal Bhutan Tour?

You will get the opportunity to learn about the culture, tradition, arts and crafts. Food is often used as a means of retaining their cultural identity, therefore you will also get the chance to closely experience their culture through its food. Nepal has some of the best historical monuments listed in UNESCO world heritage sites which are reminiscences of the past. There is a saying “Heaven is a myth but Nepal is real” and the breathtaking view of the Himalayan range and other attractions upholds this statement.

Like Nepal, Bhutan has some of the most beautiful valleys and historical monuments which are one of a kind. Bhutan is best known for its unspoiled nature and vibrant culture. Bhutan is immensely influenced by Buddhism as a result you can see a lot of monasteries. Tiger's Nest is the most well-known throughout the world and is also a listed heritage site.
