Buddha Dordenma Statue | Bhutan | The Ultimate Travel Company

HIMALAYAN KINGDOMS: NEPAL & BHUTAN

Explore Nepal’s vibrant cities and breathtaking Himalayas before uncovering Bhutan’s hidden monasteries, lush valleys, and timeless mountain culture.

ABOUT THE TOUR

Our adventure begins in Nepal in the wonder-filled capital of Kathmandu, a fascinating and exotic city of ancient temples, palaces, stupas and colourful streets of traditional houses, many intricately carved. We also visit the nearby medieval Newar town of Bhaktapur. We travel on to the Pokhara Valley in the Nepalese Himalayas to stay in a remote mountain lodge with breath-taking scenery, before returning to Kathmandu.

We then fly on to the tiny Kingdom of Bhutan, which for centuries was closed to western visitors and remained hidden behind the peaks of the Himalayas – thankfully no longer the case today. Our journey encompasses splendid stupas and dzongs (monasteries) along with the country’s spectacular landscape of fertile valleys, lush forests and snow-capped peaks. We meet the delightful people and discover the unique culture of this delightful Kingdom on the ‘roof of the world’.
