About this trip
Thirteen days across Nepal and Bhutan, two countries that still feel far off the well-trodden path. The focus is on people and place rather than ticking off sights at speed — you'll spend real time in small Nepalese communities and get a proper feel for daily life there.
Chitwan National Park brings the wildlife and biodiversity side of Nepal into view, while Bhutan's Buddhist temples and monasteries carry a different, quieter kind of weight. The pace throughout is unhurried, built around moderate hikes rather than long days on the move.
This suits travellers who want depth over distance — fewer stops, more time in each one, with guided support the whole way and a private room to retreat to at the end of the day.
What you'll do
- Spend time with small Nepalese communities and their traditions
- Look for wildlife across Chitwan National Park's varied habitats
- Visit Buddhist temples and monasteries in Bhutan
- Hike at a moderate pace through Nepal's countryside
- Travel with a small group and a fully guided itinerary throughout
- Moderate hiking and trekking, not a technical or high-altitude challenge
- Pace is deliberately unhurried, with time built in to meet local people rather than just pass through
- Private room included, so no shared accommodation on this one
Worth it if you're after authentic cultural immersion and skilled local guides. Think twice if Nepal logistics are your priority—Bhutan steals the show.
- CEOs Jamuna and Jigme made the trip genuinely exciting with real cultural access most visitors can't get alone.
- Nepal portion disappointed enough that one reviewer rated the trip 50/50, though Bhutan more than compensated.
- Itinerary includes activities like Photar whose importance wasn't clearly explained to at least one traveller.
- Authentic local interaction and witnessing daily life felt genuinely privileged and humanising to multiple guests.
