​Inside view of Nepal and Bhutan for Travelers

Knowing what you can expect from any destination is properly important for travelers. With some Dos and Don’ts, you can decide better on the packages and period of your visit here. Here we will take you on a core tour of Bhutan and Nepal from a traveler’s perspective.

  • Hospitality in these countries is second to none but be sure to enjoy responsibly during your visit. As religious nations with some traditional beliefs try minimizing the display of affections (kissing and more) to private.
  • Most places might be open for tourists, some might need permits/passes, and some might even be restricted for visitors. As a traveler, it is always best to know about these beforehand.
  • While the highways are particularly comfortable prepare for some bumpy stretches in the hilly destinations. Keep in mind that the drivers here are amazingly skilled and experienced so loosen up a bit.
  • Assure your visas on time. It is best to have them at least a few days earlier than in a tight schedule. Bhutan in particular might be somewhat strict in paperwork. So be sure and double-check everything.
  • You will have a large selection to choose from when it comes to food accommodation and transportation. Choose wisely as you will get what you paid for here.
  • Always choose a local guide to miss nothing. Both Nepal and Bhutan have some of the best-hidden  destinations and a local guide will be worth your price for best experiences.
  • It is best to try local foods towards the end of your visit. Follow the instructions in safaris or other adventure activities for your own aid.
  • Preparation is the key to best experiencing these countries. Always spend as much time in discussion with your team or guides who will accompany you.
  • The weather might be your friend or foe here so prepare accordingly.
  • For family vacations always consult with the team for tips to get great deals in accommodation and transportation.
  • Be gentle and patient if things don’t work out, Bhutanese and Nepalese are some of the most helpful people so don’t be shy to ask for some help.
  • Keep your documents with you all the time. It’s better to make some copies in case you lose yours.
  • Just allow us to help you with anything as our professional team is ready for your assistance at Everest Vacation.

    Highly recommend Everest Vacation for Nepal and Bhutan Tour

    Our visit to Nepal was an awesome experience, made even better by our travel agent who arranged guided sightseeing tours for us. Our trip was organized by Everest Vacation for both Nepal and Bhutan, and everything went smoothly. We had fantastic private guided sightseeing tours in Kathmandu and an amazing hike to Nagarkot. Our tour guide, Dipak, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Everest Vacation to anyone looking for a great travel experience in Nepal and Bhutan.

    Amazing Bhutan

    Bhutan was on my bucket list for a few years now. And I crossed it after having a sublime tour of Nepal and Bhutan. I have some mad respect for the drivers in these areas with narrow hill highways taking us to our next destination. My guides were friendly as well as knowledgeable in multiple languages too. The tour went straight and by the end, I wanted nothing less than a revisit here. I don’t usually recommend the tour companies but Netra, Umesh, and Team deserve it for a superb tour.

    An unbelievable experience!

    Our fantastic tour of the Himalayas including Bhutan,  and Nepal was organized seamlessly by Everest Vacation. Netra formulated this two-week trip in the best way with some outstanding memories. I am impressed with the quick and dedicated customer care, as our emails were responded to almost instantly. Between all these, we also managed to take a helicopter to Everest Base Camp. It was a childhood dream of mine, and being there was nothing short of spectacular. Thanks to Netra and the team for suggesting it on time.
