About This Tour
A 22-day journey across three Himalayan nations — six nights in Nepal's Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara, eight nights in Tibet including Everest Base Camp, and six nights in Bhutan's Thimphu, Punakha and Paro. This trip spends the real majority of its nights in Nepal: 9 of the 21 nights, split across Kathmandu, Chitwan, and Pokhara at the start (days 1–6) and again on both the Tibet-to-Bhutan changeover (days 14–15) and the very end (day 21). Tibet accounts for 7 nights around Lhasa, Shigatse, and Everest Base Camp (days 7–13), and Bhutan for the remaining 5 around Thimphu, Punakha, and Paro (days 16–20). Voyzo runs the entire route as a fully private tour — your own vehicle and English-speaking guides throughout — rather than the mixed group/private arrangement of the source itinerary.
