Navigating the bustle of Kathmandu, you will travel to Pokhara, where nature wraps you in its arms. Palaces and temples give way to lakes and mountains. After exploring Nepal, you will take a scenic, short flight across the Himalayas from Kathmandu to Paro, Bhutan.

Traveling to Bhutan is expensive. However, every moment you spend in this country will be worth it. You will explore Paro, Thimphu, and Punakha during the 10 days Nepal Bhutan tour. These are the top tourist destinations in Bhutan.

Nepal

  • Kathmandu: Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal and the city where you first land on this tour. In Kathmandu, you will get introduced to Nepali culture, traditions, and the daily lifestyle of the locals. Here, you will explore bustling markets and ancient UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Swayambhunath Temple (Monkey Temple), Boudhanath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple, Patan Durbar Square, and Kathmandu Durbar Square. The city is rich in palaces and temples rather than gardens, and locals love to spend their mornings and evenings there.

  • Pokhara: Pokhara is the second biggest city in Nepal. It is the gateway to the Annapurna region and is known as the city of lakes. Unlike Kathmandu, Pokhara is rich in natural wonders like lakes, caves, and waterfalls. Himalayan mountains like Annapurna, Fishtail, and Dhaulagiri are visible from all parts of the city. Tourists love Pokhara for its serene environment. The must-visit tourist sites in this city are Phewa Lake, Davis Falls, Gupteshwor Cave, Bat Cave, Sarngkot, Peace Pagoda, etc. You can also do thrilling activities like paragliding, hot air balloon-ride, zip-lining, bungee jumping, etc, in Pokhara.

  • The Nepalese cuisine: You must have heard about momo (Nepali-style dumpling) and dal bhat. These two are staple dishes in Nepalese meals. We highly recommend travelers have Thakali Khana set to have a comprehensive idea of authentic dal bhat. We also recommend travelers try Nepali-style chowmein, sekuwa, taas, choila, chatamari, Newar khaja, yomori, sel roti, etc.

Bhutan

  • Paro: In Paro, you will hike to Taktsang Monastery (Tiger Nest). It will be an incredible two-hour uphill hike and one-hour descent. The Monastery is situated at 3,120 meters above sea level. It is believed that Guru Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche) came here on the back of a flying tigress and meditated in the cave. Likewise, other places you will visit in Paro are Kyichu Lhakhang, Drukgyel Dzong, Drukgyel Dzong ruins, Ta Dzong Museum, and the famous Farmhouse.

  • Thimphu: Thimphu is the capital of Bhutan and is located around two hours away from Paro. You will have a busy time here because this city has to offer a lot. Here, you will explore the National Memorial Chorten, Buddha Dordenma Statue, Tashichho Dzong, Changangkha Lhakhang, Simtokha Dzong, the Royal Textile Academy of Bhutan, the Paper Factory, etc. Visiting these places will present an even deeper understanding of Bhutanese culture, traditions, art, and architecture. You will also learn about traditional Bhutanese paper and textiles that have been well-preserved and handed down for generations.

  • Punakha: Until 1955, Punakha was the capital of Bhutan. This is why the city is of huge cultural and historical importance to the Bhutanese. To reach Punakha, you will cross the DochuLa (3,200 m) pass, from which you will see a stunning view of the Bhutanese mountain range and chortens. The must-visit place in Punakha is Chimi Lhakhang, the fertility temple. Likewise, you will also visit Punakha Dzong and Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten.

  • Bhutanese cuisine: Like other cuisines around Asia, Bhutanese cuisine presents a flavorful blend of exotic species and traditions. The flavors are quite bold, with red and green chilies in almost all dishes. Ema datshi, Jasha maru, phaksha paa, homestay, etc, are some must-try dishes in Bhutan. Likewise, we also recommend trying butter tea (suja) and local rice wine.
