Luxury Tour of Nepal and Bhutan

Today you can explore Kathmandu with your private guide. We will always tailor your day around your interests, but suggest heading off on a walking tour around Kathmandu Durbar Square before visiting Swayambunath Temple and the amazing Pashupatinath Temple and Boudnath Stupa.

Fly to Pokhara and meet your sherpa and private trekking guide. You will be driven to the Annapurna Region where you will trek for three hours to Sanctuary Lodge.

Continue your trek up the Modi Valley and up the ridge towards Ghandruk, the most picturesque of all Annapurna Villages, a trek of about five hours.

Today, cross the Modi Valley to the wonderful village of Landruk, again offering fantastic views of the high Himalayas, a trek of three hours.

You will work your way back towards the village of Majgaun, passing traditional thatched village houses and farmland, a walk of about four hours.

Walk to the road at Lumle where your vehicle will be waiting to take you to the airport to fly to Kathmandu. Spend the afternoon with your feet up!

Fly to Bhutan which is only a short one-hour flight, passing Everest and many of the other highest mountains on your left hand-side. When you arrive, your driver and private guide will be waiting to drive you to Punakha, a drive of about four hours, via the Dochula Pass.

Today explore Punakha, including a short walk along the Butterfly Trail through farmland to the Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten which has amazing views across the whole valley. Return back to the Punakha Dzong (or fortified Monastery), one of the best examples in Bhutan.

Head back to Paro via the Temple of Fertility (Chimi Lhakhang) and a quick stop in the capital, Thimphu.

We suggest spending the day exploring Paro. For those wanting to see more of local life, we suggest a visit to the remote Haa Valley (you can even choose free-wheel cycle back to Paro from the top!), seeing local villages and markets. For those with more of an interest in Buddhism and architecture, see the Paro Dzong and National Museum.

Today is for many a highlight, as you will head off to trek to the Tiger’s Nest Monastery, or Taktsang, best done earlier in the day before the sun gets too hot.

Fly back to Kathmandu, do try sitting on the right-hand see to get the views of the mountains. When you arrive, head up to the ridge of the Kathmandu Valley for a stay in Dhulikhel.
