Expand All

1. When is the best time to visit Nepal and Bhutan?

Generally, the best time to visit Nepal and Bhutan all three together spans from April to May and from September to November.

For Nepal

Valid Passport: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date from Nepal.

Visa:

Pre-apply Online: You can apply for a Nepali visa before your travel through the official Nepal Immigration website. This process allows you to skip the long queues at the airport.

Visa on Arrival: Alternatively, you can obtain a Visa on Arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu, or at certain land border crossings.

For Bhutan

Valid Passport: Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of entry.

Tour Booking: Independent travel is not allowed in Bhutan; you must book your trip through a registered Bhutanese tour operator.

3. How can I travel between Bhutan and Nepal?

Begin your journey at Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu, which is Nepal's only international airport connecting it with major cities globally. Travelers might find it easier to secure flights to Kathmandu from their home country.

All international tourists (except citizens of India, Bangladesh, and the Maldives) must travel on a pre-arranged package or guided tour arranged through a licensed Bhutanese tour operator or one of their international partners. This policy means that independent travel in Bhutan is not allowed for most international visitors.

5. What currencies are used in Nepal and Bhutan?

Nepal: The Nepalese Rupee (NPR) is the local currency. USD and other major currencies can be exchanged in cities.

Highly Recommend Asia Odyssey Travel for your Bhutan trip

Communication with Alina Dang was easy and response time fast. Alina is very professional and detail oriented.
Once in Bhutan our Guide Kins and Driver Karma made this 6 days tour to Paro, Thimphu and Punakha an unforgettable experience.
The Hotels selected were all excellent and with a friendly staff.
I hope to return to Bhutan for a longer stay and travel to Eastern Bhutan. Visit Bhutan and you will not be disappointed.

Great Experience with Asia Odyssey

I had an amazing experience with Asia Odyssey Tours! My travel consultant, Charles, was incredibly efficient and professional. Planning a multi-country trip (Nepal, China, Bhutan) can be complicated, but he handled everything smoothly, including securing necessary visas/permits and adjusting my itinerary when needed.
Charles was a quick and clear communicator, always making sure things went as planned. The local guides in each country were knowledgeable and friendly, making my trip even more enjoyable. (Note that most were third-party so not directly associated with AD). The hotels were clean, comfortable, and well-located.
Initially, I never heard of Asia Odyssey so I was reluctant or cautious, but after this trip I would totally consider them again.
