Overview

Travel between Bhutan & Nepal.

Visit destinations like Paro, Thimpu, Punakha (Bhutan) & Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan National Park (Nepal).

Bhutan
Bhutan is a peaceful, safe and very friendly country in the Eastern Himalayas. If you are looking for backpacking, discos, beaches and party time, you have come to the wrong country. Bhutan is very quiet, but offers magnificent monasteries, great scenery and excellent (!) hotels. People love their royal family. TRADITION is written in capitals (e.g. clothing). But it is pricy (USD 200-250 per person, per day) and you can only visit in a tour (with a local operator).

Nepal
Nepal is a country known for the highest mountains in the world: 7 of the 10 existing peaks over 8000 m are found here. "Trekking" and "Mountaineering" are the buzz words with focus on the Pokhara and Everest regions. But there is more, like medieval Kathmandu, wonderful nature, Rhinos and shopping. Unfortunately Nepal is also one of the poorest countries on the planet and many Nepalese leave home to work abroad. And sometimes the country gets hit by huge earthquakes.
