Is the Nepal-Bhutan Tour the Right Fit for You?
If you’re considering the Nepal-Bhutan tour, here are some key points to help you decide if it’s the right fit for you.
Nepal is still recovering from the 2015 earthquake, which can lead to some delays. Bhutan offers peaceful scenery but has narrow, winding roads, which may extend travel time. Patience and flexibility will enhance your journey through these beautiful landscapes and serene cultures.
Be ready for adventurous drives, especially in Nepal. The route from Pokhara to Chitwan features sharp turns as it winds through mountains. In Bhutan, even short distances may take longer due to narrow roads and high passes. If you’re prone to motion sickness, it’s wise to bring medication for the winding roads.
Most activities on this tour are of easy to moderate difficulty. The hike to Tiger’s Nest Monastery in Bhutan, which takes about five hours and reaches 3,120 meters, is a bit challenging but manageable for those in good health.
Walking in Chitwan National Park and hiking in Pokhara also require some physical effort, but are generally easy. If you enjoy physical activity and nature, this tour is a great fit.
Altitude sickness can affect anyone in Bhutan due to its high elevations, even the fittest travellers. It’s helpful to know the signs and take breaks as needed. Meals are included in Bhutan, though options might be limited in remote areas.
