Bhutan and Nepal Discover Tour Difficulty

The 10 Days Bhutan and Nepal Discover Tour is mainly a sightseeing and cultural trip, so you do not need extra training or anything. Most of your journey involves flights, private vehicle transfers, city sightseeing, and walking around temples, monasteries, museums & other attractions. The main physical part is the hike to Tiger’s Nest Monastery in Paro. It involves around 5 hours of uphill walking, stairs & uneven sections, so it can feel tiring if you are not used to walking uphill.

The rest of the itinerary is much easier. You will stay in hotels in Kathmandu, Thimphu, and Paro, and most sightseeing takes place at lower elevations. Overall, the tour suits travelers who are comfortable with normal walking and one moderately demanding day at Tiger’s Nest.

Cost for Bhutan and Nepal Discover Tour

The 10 Days Bhutan and Nepal Discover Tour costs USD 2,700 per person. This is a full board package, covering the meals, accommodation, transportation, and other services listed in the inclusion. You can book the tour online without paying card fees. The price can also change if you add extra services or extend the trip in Bhutan or Nepal.

Best Seasons for Bhutan and Nepal Tour Discover

All seasons are suitable for the 10 Days Bhutan and Nepal Discover Tour, but the weather and views change throughout the year. Spring, from March to May, and autumn, from September to November, are the most comfortable months, with mild weather, clearer skies, and better chances of mountain views. Spring also brings flowers to Bhutan, while autumn comes after the main monsoon period.

Winter, from December to February, is colder in Paro and Thimphu, but clear days can give good mountain views. Summer and monsoon, from June to August, bring more rain, especially in Nepal, and cloudy weather can hide the mountains. The tour still runs during these months, but you should expect wetter days and less reliable mountain views.

Good to Know

Food during Bhutan and Nepal Discover Tour

The package includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner throughout the journey, but since it is a two country tour, the variety of food is different in each country.

In Nepal, the main food you'll have for lunch and dinner is Dal Bhat, but other options are also available, such as momo, pasta, and Western dishes. For breakfast, you can have tea or coffee, eggs, bread, oatmeal, and other varieties.

In Bhutan, you can try Kewa Phagsha, Ema Datshi, Jasha Maru, Shamu Datshi, and Kewa Datshi, which are some traditional Bhutanese foods. Bhutan is known for its spicy food, but other options are also available if you prefer less spicy meals.

Accomodation During Bhutan and Nepal Discover Tour

In Kathmandu, you will stay in 3 star hotels, while in Bhutan, accommodation will be in A and B category hotels on a twin sharing basis. The room will have two single beds, WiFi, a private bathroom, and other basic facilities needed for a comfortable stay. In Kathmandu, you will have more hotel and dining choices nearby, while hotels in Bhutan are generally smaller and quieter. Your accommodation in Thimphu and Paro will be close to the main sightseeing areas where possible, making it easier to get around during the tour. If you are traveling alone, a single room can be arranged at an additional cost.

Transportation for Bhutan and Nepal Discovery Tour

For transportation, the vehicle depends on your package choice and group size. Options can include a private car, jeep, van, or bus for airport transfers, sightseeing, and road travel. The tour also includes the flight between Kathmandu and Paro Airport. If you choose the budget option, you can travel by bus or jeep, while a private vehicle is available if you prefer more privacy and comfort.

Payment Options for Bhutan and Nepal Discover Tour

The currency in Nepal is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR) and in Bhutan is the Ngultrum (BTN). You can exchange foreign currency through authorized banks, hotels, and licensed money changers in Nepal. In Bhutan, you can exchange money at Paro International Airport, banks, larger hotels, and authorized exchange counters in Thimphu. 

Credit cards are widely accepted in major hotels, restaurants, and shops in Nepal, with Visa, Mastercard, and American Express among the commonly accepted cards. Bhutan also accepts Visa and Mastercard, especially in city areas, but card services may be limited outside the main towns.

In Nepal, digital payments are widely used such as eSewa and Khalti. In Bhutan, digital payment options include goBoB and MyPay, and tourists can connect these services with international cards where supported.

For this tour, you do not need to carry a large amount of cash every day. Still, keep some local currency with you for small purchases, shops, tips, or places where QR or card payment is not available. 

Do I need Travel Insurance for Bhutan and Nepal Discover Tour?

Travel insurance is not mandatory for this tour, but it is still a sensible thing to have. Bhutan removed its mandatory travel insurance requirement in April 2024, while the Nepal Tourism Board recommends travel insurance that covers medical treatment for tourists.

This is not a high altitude trekking trip, so you are not dealing with the same risks as a Himalayan trek. Still, you are traveling between two countries, taking flights and road journeys, hiking to Tiger’s Nest, and dealing with a different climate, food, and daily routine. If you are visiting Nepal and Bhutan for the first time, having insurance that covers medical treatment, trip cancellation, lost baggage, and emergency assistance can save you from a large unexpected bill. If you decide to add a high altitude trek to your trip later, check that your policy specifically covers trekking at the altitude and activity level you plan to do.
