Nepal Tibet Bhutan Tour is a multi-country tour that lets you experience the highlights of three popular Himalayan destinations. Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan are fascinating holiday destinations that are on the bucket list of all travelers. Discover the captivating cultural treasures of Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan while savoring the dramatic beauty of the Himalayas.
Visit the world-renowned UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Buddhist monasteries, pagoda palaces, traditional castles, and old bazaars that have existed for thousands of years. Throughout your journey, you will be surrounded by the high and mighty mountains of the Himalayan Range.
The first stop in your multi-country tour is Nepal's capital city Kathmandu. Take a stroll around the medieval palace squares built by the Malla Kings who ruled over Kathmandu Valley for hundreds of years. Explore the ancient Pashupatinath Temple complex, one of the holiest Hindu temples in the world. Light a butter lamp at Boudhanath, the biggest stupa in Nepal. The spiritual vibe of the place is calming and soothing.
You get to enjoy a magnificent Himalayan sunrise and sunset from Nagarkot, a hill station renowned for its splendid Himalayan views. One night and two days in Pokhara, a charming lakeside city, will allow you to enjoy views of snowcapped mountains without having to trek or hike. Enjoy boating on the picturesque Phewa Lake and take a sightseeing tour of the city's tourist sites.
From Pokhara, you return to Kathmandu and catch a flight to Lhasa. For around one and a half hours you will be treated to aerial views of some of the highest mountains in the world. In Lhasa, you will get to visit the impressive Potala Palace, the winter residence of the Dalai Lama.
A walk through the busy Barkhor Market will offer you a peek into the lives of the locals. Watch the pilgrims prostrating in front of the Jokhang Temple, an ancient Buddhist shrine built by the Tibetan king Songsten Gampo. An exploration of the grand Drepung Monastery, one of the three great monasteries in Tibet winds up your Tibet tour.
To get to Bhutan, you need to fly back to Kathmandu again. Tibet and Bhutan's air connectivity to international destinations are limited. Nepal is one of the few countries which operates flights to both the Himalayan countries. The Kathmandu to Paro flight also offers some jaw-dropping Himalayan views. The thrilling landing at the Paro International Airport, which lies in the middle of gigantic mountains, is bound to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Bhutan, covered by large swathes of the forest is one of the greenest countries in the world. You can feel the welcoming embrace of nature as soon as you step on its soil. The air is crisp, the people welcoming, and the vibe comforting. In Bhutan, you will explore its two important cities - Thimphu and Paro.
You will visit the traditional castles and dzongs built by Bhutanese kings and isolated monasteries located in the midst of forests and paddy fields. Experience the beautiful Bhutanese countryside while driving from Paro to Thimphu.
Hike to the famous Taktsang Monastery or the Tiger's Nest in Paro. Clinging precariously to a cliff this monastery is said to have been the meditation chamber of Padmasambhava or Guru Rinpoche. Discover Bhutan's traditional arts and crafts at the Folk Heritage Museum and the National Institute of Zorig Chusom. Visit a traditional village and interact with the villagers.
Your Nepal Tibet Bhutan Tour ends with a flight back to Kathmandu. In a short period of sixteen days, you will have experienced three different Himalayan cultures and explored iconic cultural landmarks.
Spring and autumn are the best seasons for this tour. If you don't mind the wet monsoon season (in Nepal and Bhutan), you can book a tour in summer too. As this trip involves a bit of hiking and walking in high elevations (Tibet and Bhutan), one needs to be reasonably fit to complete this tour.
When you arrive at Tribhuwan International airport, you will be welcomed by our representative. You will be privately transferred to the hotel for check in.

Read our genuine feedback from past travelers with Nepal Hiking Team sourced from TripAdvisor, Google, Facebook, and Trustpilot.
Only 5 stars are not enough to rate the wonderful experience we had with Nepal Hiking Team. From the very beginning, Mr. Ganga was incredibly helpful and gave great advice to create an unforgettable journey.
We traveled with them for a month through the Himalayas, including Bhutan, Tibet, and Nepal, along with the Everest Trek. Every detail was perfectly arranged; knowledgeable guides offering insight into these amazing countries, well-located hotels, delicious food (sometimes too much!), and most importantly, incredible personal support.
We are deeply grateful for the care the whole team showed when a serious medical condition arose. Their flexibility, kindness, and support went far beyond anything we could have expected.
Thanks to all the members of Nepal Hiking Team we had the chance to meet, and especially to Mr. Ganga and Mr. Santosh, to whom we probably gave more than one headache.
We travel often, and strongly recommend anyone heading to the Himalayas to go with Nepal Hiking Team. They are without a doubt the best choice you can make. Until we meet again, you will always have a place in our hearts.
This was our 2nd tour with NHT. In short: we can confidently recommend "the Team."
We were 6 friends eager to return to Nepal for trekking while also exploring Bhutan. The tour was excellently organized, incorporating our ideas and special requests, whether cultural interests, health needs, specific visits, or dietary preferences. The close communication with Ganga (CEO) and his brother ensured quick email responses. Just great service from start to finish.
The entire Manaslu trekking crew, including guides and porters, was outstanding! We had so much fun together and always felt secure. Our lead guide, Ram, was exceptional. Always a step ahead yet adaptable to the situation, our humor, and even Danish sarcasm :-) . We know NHT has other guides of his level, but Ram truly made a difference for us.
Bhutan and Manaslu were two of the most incredible experiences we've ever had! Both are extraordinary yet so distinct – I won’t even try to describe them here. Instead, Nepal Hiking Teams' website was great for inspiration and planning (or just send them an email).
For context, we opted for the Manaslu circuit trek to enjoy one of Nepal's most breathtaking treks with a rich cultural touch, while steering clear of the busy Everest trails. We did encounter some tourists, but there was plenty of space. And the natural beauty? Simply spectacular.
Experience of a lifetime! Leading up to the trip, I felt some excitement and uncertainty because I was traveling from New Jersey to Nepal, so it was a trip to the other side of the world. Also knowing we were going to trek to the highest region in the world.
Once we arrived in Kathmandu, we met up with our guide (Bhim). After a few minutes of talking with him, I felt a sense of calm and my excitement of joy grew from there. And I was right he and his team made sure we had the best experience possible.
The full trek going and coming was incredible. Our guide, Bhim, made sure we had the best experience. Can’t say enough of how wonderful he and his team made this one for the books!
I highly recommend booking with this company and Bhim! Namaste!
I just completed trekking in Nepal together with another solo traveler. The service of Nepal Hiking Team was exemplary from the start till the end. Nothing beats word-of-mouth good reviews.
Mr. Ganga has been very responsive to queries from Day 1 and was physically present even on the last day to officially close the loop for the package tour.
Our guide Bibek was very patient and sincere as he led us through the trek. He resolved issues with his heart and people skills and gave assurance whenever plans suddenly changed.
He ensured things were changed for the better. Our porter, Rajendran, was also good and always arrived ahead of time to ensure our rooms were confirmed.
- Guided by Bibek Dhamala
We had the best time in Nepal. The beautiful views and warm hospitality of the Nepali people are truly unparalleled.
Instrumental to our amazing experience were our guide, Netra, and porter, Vasu.
We were super well taken care of. Netra was quick to assess our physical abilities and was able to effectively set the pace for our hikes. He had very good knowledge of the route and terrain. Importantly, this was our first time attempting a hike at a high altitude, so he took extra care to check on us regularly.
On a personal note, proper gear, including a powerful down jacket for -20 degrees Celsius and a proper hiking backpack, is super essential.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Nepal Hiking Team and Netra/Vasu for your Nepal adventure!
