What can you expect during the 9 days Nepal Bhutan tour?
First, the 9 days Nepal Bhutan tour starts in Kathmandu, Nepal. You will spend three nights in Kathmandu before flying to Paro.
During the three nights, one of our professional, friendly tour guides will accompany you to several popular tourist sites such as Monkey Temple, Pashupatinath Temple, Bouddhanath Stupa, Kathmandu Durbar Square, and Patan Durbar Square.
After a full day of touring Kathmandu, you will spend your second night in Nagarkot, a hill station approximately two hours away from the city. The next morning, you will see a gorgeous sunrise and a magnificent distant view of the Himalayan ranges, including Everest.
The sky has to be clear for the best view. Nagarkot is not bustling like Kathmandu. You will enjoy nature and tranquility. From here, you will visit the Bhaktapur Durbar Square and Namobuddha Monastery.
Namobuddha Monastery is one of the important pilgrimage sites on the outskirts of Kathmandu. In addition, you will explore the vibrant streets of Thamel, the tourist hub in Kathmandu. Your hotel will be in this area in the city.
In your downtime, we highly recommend visiting the Garden of Dream, located just at the entrance of Thamel, and the Narayanhiti Palace, located on the next block.
This is your time in Nepal. Now, during your flight from Kathmandu to Paro (Bhutan), you will see beautiful landscapes and heavenly views of several Himalayan ranges. Land at the Paro Airport, where our local team will pick you up and drive you to Thimphu.
It will be a comfortable two-hour drive. The remaining day is free. We recommend that travelers rest and have a big dinner with many soups to acclimate. Also, go for a walk around your hotel.
The next day, you will visit tourist sites in Thimphu, such as Tashichho Dzong, Buddha Dordenma Statue, Changangkha Lhakhang, Simtokha Dzong, the National Folk Heritage Museum, and the Royal Textile Academy of Bhutan.
In the evening, you will be free to shop and spend time as you wish. From Thimphu, you will drive to Punakha, a lush valley known as the jewel of Bhutan. On the way, cross the Dochula Pass (3,200 m), from where you will see an outstanding mountain landscape.
In Punakha, you will visit the Chimi Lhakhang Temple, Punakha Dzong, and Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten. After exploring Punakha, you will return to Paro and spend one full day in the city before flying back to your home.
You will hike to Taktsang Monastery, also known as Tiger's Nest Monastery. It involves around two hours of ascending. The hiking route is well-established and available for most travelers. Likewise, if you cannot walk uphill, you can rent a horseback ride for a few additional bucks.
The scenery during the hike and the view of the monastery are phenomenal. After the hike, get rest and have lunch. Later, you will visit Drukgyel Dzong ruins, Kyichu Lhakhang, Drukgyel Dzong, Dungtse Lhakhang, and the Farmhouses in Paro Valley.

As mentioned above, you can customize the itinerary as you wish. Likewise, the 9 days Nepal Bhutan tour is perfect for all age groups. You can do it solo, with your family, friends, colleagues, etc. It is also one of the fantastic cross-country tour programs for students.
