Nepal and Bhutan Honeymoon

Begin your adventurous honeymoon by diving into the mystery and mayhem of Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, whose very name alone conjures up exotic images. With your guide learn about the history of Durbar Square, visit the fabulous Swayambhunath temple, and join Buddhist devotees at the spectacular Boudhanath Stupa. From Kathmandu you will fly into the mystical mountain kingdom of Bhutan – a land of beauty, peace and tranquillity. Home to yetis, dragons and some of the friendliest people on the planet, Bhutan is an incredibly unique and unforgettable travel destination. Join forces with your very own private guide and discover the wonders of this tiny, mountainous country. Thimphu, the capital, has no traffic lights, no high-rise buildings and is more akin to a village than a capital city. Using the charming Pemako Thimphu hotel as your base, you will experience all that Thimphu has to offer before moving on to the Punakha Valley.

As you travel through Bhutan you will soon realise just how unspoilt the country is. On the drive to Punakha expect large swathes of forest, big snow-capped mountains, stupas covered in flapping colourful prayer flags, brilliant blue rivers, and gorgeous little villages of wooden buildings. In Punakha stay at the intimate UMA Punakha, with stunning valley views. Explore Punakha Dzong, a fortress-cum-monastery, on the confluence of two rivers. Hike out to Chimi Lhakang monastery and learn about the mad monk who once lived there. Paro is your next and final stop in Bhutan. Hike to the breath-taking Taktsang (Tigers Nest) Monastery which clings, amazingly, to the edge of a sheer cliff face. Wander the ancient bazaars and visit the Dzong. UMA Paro, your hotel, has a fantastic spa and indoor pool, and stupendous views over the valley.

Fly back to Kathmandu and onwards home armed with some truly unforgettable experiences and many, many stories to tell.
