Combine with Bhutan & India
Nepal is a snow-capped pocket of peace nestled in the Himalayas, bordered by Tibet, India and Bhutan. On its own, a trip to Nepal will tug at your heartstrings. You can wander through the cobbled streets of Old Kathmandu, soak up the spiritual atmosphere of Bhaktapur and trek to hilltops criss-crossed with fluttering prayer flags.
However, given Nepal’s position, it’s easy to hop into the surrounding countries and add a whole new twist to your trip. Head into hidden Bhutan, bursting with mysterious beauty, throw yourselves into the colourful chaos of India, or why not take an epic journey through all three. There are all kinds of possibilities in store and each one offers an eye-opening adventure.
Combine Nepal with Bhutan
Get a double hit of the Himalayas by combining Nepal with the hidden kingdom of Bhutan. Kick off your trip in atmopsheric Kathmandu, wandering between colourful pagodas and valleys scattered with rainbow prayer flags. Next, jet across the snow-capped mountains to Paro, to explore Bhutan. Hike to the incredible Tiger’s Nest monastery, and travel through the sweeping Haa valley. Finally, cross back into Nepal for a safari in the subtropical lowlands of Chitwan National Park.
Combine Nepal with India
This is the ultimate trip through India and Nepal, giving you all of the drama of India’s cities followed by a peaceful breather in the Himalayas. You’ll visit the ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur with its chaotic bazaars and palaces before taking a sunrise trip to the iconic Taj Mahal. Next, you’ll sail down the Ganges at dawn in holy Varanasi, wander through the peaceful riverside town of Orchha and get an eyeful of the erotic temples in Khajuraho. You’ll cross into Nepal to visit the birthplace of the Buddha, experience the misty landscape of Chitwan National Park, get a glimpse into the life of a Tibetan refugee and amble through the narrow medieval streets of the Kathmandu valley.
Combine Nepal with India & Bhutan
Experience the striking contrasts of India, Nepal and Bhutan on an epic journey through three countries rich in culture, heritage and soul. Begin in India, where the chaos and colour pull you straight in! Watch the sunrise over the iconic Taj Mahal and listen to the soft chant of pilgrims as you glide along the Ganges River in Varanasi.
Crossing into Nepal, the pace shifts as epic Himalayan landscapes take over. Spot wildlife in the jungle of Chitwan National Park, stroll between temples and stupas in Kathmandu and mingle with monks. In Bhutan, the pace slows further still as you travel through high mountain passes and forested valleys dotted with whitewashed dzongs. The journey ends with the unforgettable hike to Tiger’s Nest Monastery.
