Trip Introduction

A tour of Kathmandu and Bhutan is an unforgettable experience that combines the rich culture and history of Nepal with the natural beauty and unique culture of Bhutan.

A tour of Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital city, will take you on a journey through time as you explore the ancient temples, shrines, and palaces that dot the city. You’ll marvel at the intricate carvings and rich history of the Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as the Monkey Temple, and the Pashupatinath Temple, one of the most important Hindu temples in the world. The tour will also take you to the Durbar Square, home to the ancient palace of the Kathmandu kings, and the Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world.

After exploring Kathmandu, you’ll head to Bhutan, the land of the Thunder Dragon. Bhutan is known for its natural beauty, rich culture, and unique way of life. You’ll see the stunning views of the Himalayas and the lush forests, as well as visit the traditional dzongs (fortresses) and monasteries that dot the landscape. One of the highlights of the tour is the visit to the Paro Taktsang, also known as the Tiger’s Nest, a sacred Buddhist temple that clings to the cliffs high above the Paro Valley.

Throughout the tour, you’ll also have the opportunity to experience the traditional culture and way of life of the Bhutanese people. You’ll learn about the local customs, traditions and the importance of Buddhism in daily life. You’ll also have the chance to try traditional Bhutanese cuisine and see the local art and craft.

Overall, a tour of Kathmandu and Bhutan is a journey that will take you to the heart of the Himalayas, where you’ll discover the beauty of the landscapes, the culture and the people of Nepal and Bhutan. It’s an opportunity to reconnect with nature, immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of the region, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
