Combine Nepal with Bhutan for a very special Experience

Why mix Nepal & Bhutan together?
Some might think Nepal and Bhutan would be too similar to be worth mixing together in one trip. Absolutely not. Despite their close proximity they are both quite a different destination experience. However, they combine together like a great marriage.
And the flight between the two adds an awesome touch to the mix too.
Nepal is best done first and offers:
- The craziness and authenticity of Kathmandu city .
- Heritage Listed ancient Bhaktapur city.
- A wealth of wildlife parks. Chitwan NP is close to Kathmandu and offers a range of accom standards.
- Hiking & trekking options abound.
- We just adore Begnas Lake area east of Pokhara. Culture, hiking, wildlife and wellness.
- Bhutan & Beyond offers a range of private tours and small group tours in Nepal.
- The short flight between Kathmandu & Paro (Bhutan) flies opposite Mt Everest & the eastern Himalaya. There’s no better view on a clear day.
Bhutan is best visited last and offers:
- The friendliest, safest & best Buddhist cultural experience anywhere.
- The flight descent into Paro airport is one of life’s great experiences. Don’t believe anyone telling you otherwise!
- Private touring, or small group cultural touring, is the most popular way to structure your visit.
- High altitude trekking and lower valley hiking, to suit most fitness levels, are on offer.
- And there’s more! Motorcycling tours & Yoga tours.
- And the newly renovated Trans Bhutan Trail (TBT) is an exciting new hiking opportunity.
- The Bhutanese speak remarkably good english and you will fall in love with them.
- There’s no begging, no tipping (except to your guide & driver at the end of your stay) in Bhutan.
- And crimes against visitors are virtually unheard of. There’s no safer place to be.
- Great for families too. The Bhutanese adore children.
- There’s top luxury on offer. Think award-winning Aman Resorts, COMO Resorts, Gangtey Lodge and many more.
Bhutan & Beyond can make it all happen for you very easily. Contact us soon.

We could not have been happier with the engagement and expertise James and his team provided - the trip went seamlessly, not one single problem, which was incredible. From the quality of the hotels, to the professionalism of the Drivers and Guides, to the pace and quality of the itinerary, the trip exceeded our expectations. The Travel App provided by James was perfect and provided all our travel information and communication on our mobile devices in real time.

December 14, 2024Just returned from an amazing nine day trip to Bhutan. Beautifully organised by the 'Bhutan and Beyond' team - Nicola's prompt responses, attention to detail and great advice made... read more it all so easy. Our guide and driver were terrific, the selected hotels were wonderful and the itinerary was perfect. I cannot overstate how good this company is. We were constantly amazed by the spectacular scenery, the beautiful people we met and the almost complete absence of other tourists. It was also the unexpected surprises that helped make the trip so memorable. Stopping for a large troupe of Gray Langur monkeys on the side of the road, coming across locals in the forest (having an absolute hoot) playing darts and competing in archery, having the King of Bhutan drop into our hotel restaurant to say hello to everyone, and flying past Mt Everest after an unexpected detour when flying out of Bhutan. It really was a unique and unforgettable experience.
