When you make the decision to travel to Bhutan, you sign up for the most unbelievable audience with the nature. Bhutan is one of those countries in the wor
that is the perfect amalgamation of natural elements and cultural, religious and historical heritages, which you will realize when you travel to Bhutan. It’s ver
important that before you travel to Bhutan, you research very well about the interesting places to visit there, and about the overall attractions in Bhutan.

Doing so will ensure that you cover all the interesting places, or at least the major ones among them, and that you have the best possible time. The country is
rich that it takes a person quite some time to explore everything. The information presented below is to tell you everything that you need to know before you
travel to Bhutan.

Nepal Tour
Before you travel to Bhutan, you’ll spend a significant amount of time taking a Nepal tour. Your Nepal tour package will consist of major tourist destinations
Nepal, and different things to do in Nepal that are going to ensure that you’ll have the best possible time in the country and that you’re prepped for the trave
to Bhutan. You can come for a tour in Nepal, even when you’ve not planned to travel to Bhutan. Nepal on its own is a wonderful country to move around in an
explore.

If you’ve never travelled to Nepal, the year 2020 is the best time to do so. The year is the time of Visit Nepal 2020 campaign. Under the visit Nepal 2020
campaign, the tourists from all over the world are motivated to visit Nepal. Through the Visit Nepal 2020 campaign, they will be provided different offers in a
the services that they take during their stay in the country. If you’ve never visited Nepal, then the year 2020 is probably going to be the best time to do so.

Generally, when your package includes the travel to Bhutan, the maximum places from Nepal you’ll cover in your itinerary are Kathmandu Valley and
Nagarkot. However, during the detailed Nepal tour, you will cover the magical city of Pokhara, jungle safari in Chitwan National Park , and possibly the
religious land of Lumbini. By covering these places, you will get the overall idea of the aspect of tourism in Nepal.
Chitwan National Park is one of the most exciting places in Nepal, as it is home to different species of rare and endangered species of animals and plants. You
can go for jungle safari in the park, on elephants, on jeep, on canoe, and explore the rich wildlife here. Lumbini, on the other hand, is a religious place. This is
where the Light of Asia, Gautam Buddha, was born. The Mayadevi temple complex here is one of the the most significant UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Pokhara is known as the land of adventure sports. Here, you can get involved in activities such as Paragliding, Hot Air Ballooning, Zip Flying, and so on. You c
also visit the different attractions in Pokhara like Fewa Lake, Begnas Lake, Rupa Lake, Mahendra Cave, Peace Pagoda and so on. Lakeside in Pokhara is a grea
way to relax, listen to different genres of music and try numerous delicacies.

Travel To Bhutan
When you travel to Bhutan, and have the most amazing Bhutan tour, you’re sure to realize how wonderful of a country Bhutan is. Altogether, you’ll spend
around 10 days here, and in this time, you’ll visit places such as Paro, Taktsang, Bumthang, Punakha, Trashiyangtse, and so on. Before you travel to Bhutan,
you’ll spend at least a couple of days in Nepal, sightseeing around Kathmandu and Nagarkot.

Paro is one of the prominent cities of Bhutan. If you go to Bhutan, and don’t visit Paro, your journey remains incomplete. One of the most significant attractio
of Paro is Rinpung Dzong, which is a fortress monastery built in around 10th century, and later reconstructed in 17th century, giving it the shape it has
currently. Another attraction around Paro is Tiger’s Nest or Taktsang, a temple complex that is situated on top of a 1000 m tall cliff. Both of them are very
sacred sites for Bhutanese Buddhists.

Similarly, Bumthang is actually a dzongkhag, a complex consisting of numerous temples and scared site, quite a significant heritage for Buddhists. There are
 altogether 20 dzongkhag in Bhutan, Bumthang being one of them. The district is divided into four sections – Ura, Chumey, Tang and Choekhor, and during yo
journey, you can make the decision of visiting either all four of them, or just one or two.

Quite like Bumthang, Punakha is one of the 20 dzongkhag of Bhutan. It is only 3 hours long drive away from Thimpu. One of the most significant heritages of
Punakha is Punakha Dzong, where the first king of Bhutan was crowned. It roughly translates to Palace of Happiness. It was built in around early 17
For a long time, Punakha was the capital of Bhutan, which was later transferred to Thimpu.

When you travel to Bhutan, you will also go for sightseeing tour in places like Mongar and Trashigang. They are small towns in the districts of Mongar and
Trashigang respectively. They are known for dzongkhas and monasteries in them, mainly the Yagang Lakhang monastery in Mongar. In the same way, the tow
of Trashiyangtse is a great place to be at, considered sacred and blessed by Guru Rinpoche. You can choose several packages like East to west Bhutan Tour
the more spiritual Cultural tour in Bhutan which lets you explore and find out more about Bhutan.

sunrise and sunset views. You get to spend around 4 days in Nepal.

After your Nepal tour, you will fly to Tibet, to the capital city of Lhasa. Being the capital, it is also the most historical city of Tibet, with so many cultural,
historical and religious heritages. You’ll spend two full days exploring Lhasa. Then, you’ll move to other historical cities like Shigatse and Rongbuk. You will al
