Nepal Bhutan Tours - 6 Best Nepal and Bhutan Tours

Nepal and Bhutan Tours opens a window to the majestic and mystical allure of the Himalayas. Celebrated as the Himalayan kingdoms, both Nepal and Bhutan are nestled amongst the towering peaks of this range. Nepal, located in the central part of the Himalayas, boasts eight of the ten highest mountains in the world, including the tallest, Mount Everest. Bhutan, situated in the eastern Himalayas, is home to the highest unclimbed mountain, Gangkhar Puensum. These lands, where ancient traditions thrive amidst breathtaking landscapes, offer a window into a world where the sacred and the majestic converge, inviting travelers to explore their unique blend of culture, religion, and nature.

How to Plan a Nepal and Bhutan Tour?

Begin with a 3-8 day trip in Nepal. Nepal offers a variety of options to travelers. (1) For culture and history enthusiasts, Kathmandu Valley hosts 7 UNESCO World Heritage sites, including historic Durbar Square, ancient temples, and grand palaces. (2) Adventure seekers can head to Pokhara for thrilling trekking routes and stunning mountain views. (3) Wildlife enthusiasts will be drawn to Chitwan National Park for its exciting wildlife encounters and safari experiences. (4) Spiritual seekers may find Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, profoundly significant.

Next, spend 3-8 days in Bhutan. Visit the most iconic destinations in the West region (Paro, Thimphu, Punakha). Paro houses the famous Tiger's Nest Monastery and Kyichu Lhakhang. Thimphu, the capital, offers crafts, museums, and a bustling weekend market. Punakha is known for Bhutan’s most beautiful dzong. If time allows, extend your visit to the Central region (Trongsa, Bumthang). Trongsa is celebrated for the Trongsa Dzong, while Bumthang is considered the cultural heart of Bhutan.

  • icon
    1. When is the best time to visit Nepal and Bhutan?
    icon

    Generally, the best time to visit Nepal and Bhutan all three together spans from April to May and from September to November.

  • icon
    2. What travel documents are needed for Nepal Bhutan tour?
    icon

    For Nepal

    Valid Passport: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date from Nepal.

    Visa:

    Pre-apply Online: You can apply for a Nepali visa before your travel through the official Nepal Immigration website. This process allows you to skip the long queues at the airport.

    Visa on Arrival: Alternatively, you can obtain a Visa on Arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu, or at certain land border crossings. The process involves filling out an application form (available at kiosks at the airport or online) and paying the visa fee, which varies depending on the duration of your stay (15, 30, or 90 days).

    For Bhutan

    Valid Passport: Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of entry.

    Tour Booking: Independent travel is not allowed in Bhutan; you must book your trip through a registered Bhutanese tour operator.

  • icon
    3. How can I travel between Bhutan and Nepal?
    icon

    Begin your journey at Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu, which is Nepal's only international airport connecting it with major cities globally. Travelers might find it easier to secure flights to Kathmandu from their home country.

    After visiting Nepal, fly to Paro, Bhutan. Druk Air and Bhutan Airlines operate flights between Kathmandu and Paro, providing the most efficient way to travel between the two countries. The flight time is approximately one hour and offers stunning views of the Himalayas.

  • icon
    4. Can I travel independently in Bhutan and Nepal?
    icon

    In Nepal, independent travel is very much possible and common. Travelers can freely plan their trip, choose their accommodations, and move around the country without the need for a guide or a pre-arranged tour (except in restricted areas).

    Bhutan, on the other hand, has a unique approach to tourism, aimed at preserving its culture and environment through its "High Value, Low Impact" tourism policy.  All international tourists (except citizens of India, Bangladesh, and the Maldives) must travel on a pre-arranged package or guided tour arranged through a licensed Bhutanese tour operator or one of their international partners.  This policy means that independent travel in Bhutan is not allowed for most international visitors.

  • icon
    5. What currencies are used in Nepal and Bhutan?
    icon

    Nepal: The Nepalese Rupee (NPR) is the local currency. USD and other major currencies can be exchanged in cities.

    Bhutan: The Ngultrum (BTN) is Bhutan's currency, which is pegged to the Indian Rupee (INR). INR is also widely accepted in Bhutan.

Private tour to Bhutan
We are Austrians and contacted AOT for a tour to Bhutan. The itinerary was was interesting and all was planed well. Our highlights were the festival in Paro and the walk to the tiger nest. Our guide Mrs. Cheni gave us a good overview about Bhutan`s culture and tradition. During our tour the Prime Minister of India also made a visit to Bhutan and for two day the roads were blocked from 9:00 to 11:00am. In order to reach the festival of Paro before the road blockage Mrs. Cheni organized this trip for 6:00am. We were very satisfied with this tour and will recommend to our Austrian friends the company AOT and the guide Mrs. Cheni.

We had the pleasure of booking our Bhutan adventure with Asia odyssey travel and it was an experience we’ll never forget. It all started with Kyle, who promptly responded to our inquiry for a quotation to Bhutan. Despite our last minute request and the urgency of our travel dates, Kyle was quick to provide us with the necessary details. However, due to a hiccup during the payment process through WISE, it took about 15 days for the payment to reach Kyle. Throughout this period, Kyle was incredibly patient and kept us updated on the progress of the payment. His professionalism in handling the situation and assisting us with arranging the required documents, such as insurance coverage and e-visa, was truly commendable.
Upon our arrival in Bhutan, we were warmly welcomed by our tour guide, Mr Bhim and our driver, Mr wangchuk. From the moment we met them, we knew we were in good hand. They formed a perfect team, seamlessly working together to ensure our trip was nothing short of amazing. One of the highlight was when they went above and beyond to accommodate our request to visit certain areas not initially in the itinerary.
A true testament to their dedication was when Mr Bhim informed us the night before that certain highway and places of interest would be closed the next day due to the state VIP guests. He promptly picked us up at 6:30am to ensure we avoided any inconvenience. Had we waited until 7am, we would have been stuck at the hotel due to State VIP arrangements. Both Mr Bhim and Mr wangchuk made sure our journey started early and ended at 5pm, maximising our time and experience in Thimphu.
Throughout our trip, both Mr Bhim and Mr Wangchuk went out of their way to make us comfortable. They helped carry our belongings, provided us with umbrella during unpredictable weather, and shared they’d vast knowledge of Bhutanese Buddhism and culture.
A standout moment was trekking to tiger nest, where both Mr Bhim and Mr Wangchuk accompanied us, sharing stories and insight about the place. It was an enriching experience that made the trek even more memorable.
Overall, our journey with Asia odyssey travel was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to the professionalism, dedication and care of Mr Kyle, Mr Bhim and Mr Wangchuk. That turned what could have been challenging situation into seamless experience, ensuring we had the best time exploring the beautiful country of Bhutan. We highly recommend Asia odyssey travel for anyone looking to embark on an unforgettable adventure in Bhutan.
Thank you, Kyle, Bhim and Wangchuk for creating memories that will last a lifetime.
