About This Tour

A two-country journey pairing Nepal's temples, jungle, and lakeside towns with five days across Bhutan's Thimphu, Punakha, and Paro, including the Tiger's Nest hike. This is mostly a Nepal trip: nine of the fourteen nights are spent in Nepal (Kathmandu, Bhaktapur/Nagarkot, Chitwan, and Pokhara, Days 1-8, plus a final Kathmandu night on Day 14), with five nights in Bhutan (Thimphu, Punakha, and Paro, Days 9-13) in between. Every night's hotel is confirmed in whichever country you're actually in that day.
