Why we love it
“Ever heard of a carbon-positive country? Welcome to Bhutan, where protected forest makes up 70% of the landmass. This incredible Himalayan kingdom has remained unchanged for centuries, cut off from the world to protect its culture. Combine this experience with the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu, and you’ve got one incredible nemo adventure. You'll share morning prayers at a local monastery, drink tea in the historic corners of Thamel, trek through the deep forest, and immerse yourself in the local experience of Buddhist culture. Who knows, maybe you’ll even discover a new part of yourself.”

Kathmandu
You certainly know when you've touched down in Nepal's capital city. Kathmandu is bursting with energy and colour. We recommend a few nights at the start or end of an itinerary to take in the city's sights and spend time wandering the oldest part of town, Thamel. Highlights include Boudhanath Stupa and the ancient city of Bhaktapur.

Thimphu
Probably the most unusual capital city in the world, Thimphu is where the modern world meets tradition in Bhutan. Locals wander around in national dress while shopping or enjoying local restaurants. It's a great place to get your introduction to the country for a few nights, with some excellent sights and beautiful walks up to remote hillside monasteries.

Punakha
A stunning, tropical valley full of hidden treasures, Punakha is an absolute must on any Bhutan itinerary. Home to the most beautiful Dzong in the country, it's a wonderful place to spend 3 nights exploring and soaking up the beauty of the area. We've handpicked some stunning hotels and great activities, from rafting to morning prayers at the local nunnery.

Paro
Weaving your way through the clouds and touching down in Paro is an experience you'll never forget. Here, monasteries dot the hillside, the forest lies as far as your eyes can see, and you can visit the spectacular Tigers Nest monastery. We recommend Paro for 3 nights at the end of a Bhutan trip, with one day to hike to the Tigers Nest and the other to simply relax or explore the valley.
