This epic adventure takes you from the bustling city of Kathmandu to the calming forests of Bhutan. It's a cultural immersion like no other in a very special part of the world.


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.”

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.

A stunning, tropical valley full of hidden treasures, Punakha is an absolute must on any Bhutan itinerary.

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.
