About This Tour

A luxury pairing of Kathmandu's UNESCO sites with western Bhutan's dzongs and mountain passes, from Thimphu and Punakha to Gangtey and Paro. Close to half of this trip is in Nepal: two nights in Kathmandu at the start and two more nights in Kathmandu/Dhulikhel at the end (four nights total), bracketing five nights in western Bhutan (Thimphu, Punakha, Gangtey, and Paro) in the middle. Every night's hotel is confirmed in whichever country you're actually in that day.
