The government is a threshold of unique culture, customs, vibrant festivals, and a bold history. Nepal is considered a garden of 4 castes, and 36 subcastes have different exposure to tradition, culture, and festivals.

After about a 1-hour flight from Kathmandu, we advance to the last Shangri-La Nation, “Bhutan.” Chattering about Bhutan, the land enduring in the splash of the Himalayas, is extensively known for its profound Buddhist culture. However, the hidden mysteries of the small land are somewhat blurry, unleashing some of those in the Bhutan tour.

The tiny kingdom of Bhutan is the only carbon-negative nation in this universe. However, the outer world explored the isolated country in the fierce mountain passes in the late 60s.

Since then, the government has become the central focus in the eyes of the world. Let us take you on a glimpse of the Bhutan Tour commencing through Paro Valley. Surrounded by peaks and valleys, the Paro International Airport is one of the most taxing airports; it lies at an altitude of about 2235 m above sea level.

The Paro Valley encompasses monasteries, temples, and scenic spots. The most inspected location on the Bhutan Tour is Tiger’s Nest, about 12 km from Paro Valley, which is accessible after a two-hour mesmerizing trekking journey. Another desirable location is Chele La Pass, which offers a captivating view of the Land of Thunder Dragon.

Similarly, Tamchoe Monastery and Zuri Zong Fort would make our journey worthwhile. About an hour’s drive from Paro International Airport lies the capital city of Bhutan, Thimphu. The hustling city is a prime example of a town crafted with hints of modernism and traditionalism. Thus, another intriguing experience awaits us in the valley of Thimphu.

Several attractions are essential locations, including the National Post Office, the Clock Tower Star, Chari Monasteries, and Buddha Dordenma. Similarly, the country, enriched in flora and fauna, is blanketed with vast wilderness and protected by strict rules and regulations.

Overall, the Nepal-Bhutan tour is not just a tour; it is a lifetime experience to witness two analogous countries rich in natural beauty, culture, and bold history. If you are prone to Adventure mingled with culture, tours in Bhutan and Nepal are the perfect combo waiting for you.

Nepal and Bhutan, the serene land of Nepal and Bhutan, welcome millions of visitors with warm hospitality. Every second on the ground in Nepal and Bhutan is worth it, and we, Boundless Adventure, ensure you have the best time on your trip to Nepal and Bhutan.

Bhutan is expensive to travel to due to its rules, regulations, and policies. The country’s policy of high-value tourism and its emphasis on sustainable tourism practices make it one of the most expensive countries to travel to.

Bhutan is one of the safest countries in the world, and its crime rate is low. Bhutan is known for being a peaceful country. The government of Bhutan takes measures to ensure a secure and enjoyable travel experience and prioritizes the safety and well-being of tourists.

Foreigners must hire a Bhutanese guide for the Bhutan Tour. Due to Bhutanese government regulations and sustainable tourism policy, it is mandatory to hire a guide. A guide must accompany you from the moment you enter the country until you return.

There is no comparison between Nepal and Bhutan. Both countries are fantastic and have their unique history, cultures, and religions. Thus, deciding between Nepal and Bhutan travel depends on interests, preferences, and the experience they seek.

10 days on the Nepal-Bhutan tour

Just a five-star rating is not enough for the excellent service and care of Boundless Adventure. Yes, my girlfriend and I were under the care of Boundless Adventure for ten days on the Nepal-Bhutan tour.

My girlfriend was feeling low and wanted a peaceful tour with me. At my friend’s suggestion, I chose Boundless Adventure, and I am extremely glad I did. We had a great time in two of the most beautiful countries in the world. We visited Kathmandu Durbar Square, Pashupatinath temple, and Boudhanath stupa and did a helicopter tour of the Everest region in Nepal.

Correspondingly, we visited different historical and cultural sites in Bhutan. Thank you, Boundless Adventure, for our proper care and service throughout the journey and for cheering up my girlfriend.

We had a great experience in Nepal and Bhutan in just one package with Boundless Adventure. The itinerary was well-planned and organized, allowing us to explore the major attractions of Nepal and Bhutan at a comfortable pace. The knowledgeable guides made our journey truly immersive by informing us of the details of both countries. From Kathmandu’s bustling city to Bhutan’s cultural sites, every part of the tour was thrilling and unforgettable.

We ventured into the tour with high hopes and are glad that Boundless Adventure exceeded all my expectations. The logistics management was top-notch, and the tour was genuinely remarkable overall. All thanks to Mr. Dambar and his entire team.

Historical sites of Kathmandu and Bhutan

Our Nepal-Bhutan tour immersed us in two different but equally beautiful places. Our group of 15 people went on a Nepal-Bhutan tour through Boundless Adventure, and we are pleased with their quality service.

From Kathmandu’s cultural and historical sites to the spiritual ambiance of Paro, Trongsa, Thimu, and other parts of Bhutan, every day on the tour was filled with exploration of the culture and beauty of the two countries. Throughout our tour, the accommodation was comfortable, the guide was knowledgeable and had in-depth knowledge of both countries, and everything was well managed. I would love to recommend Boundless Adventure to others with no regrets.
