Adventure in Bhutan
This trip is perfect for the active and adventurous looking to get beneath the skin of the tiny mountain kingdom of Bhutan. It is designed to give you a brief introduction to Kathmandu in Nepal before a more thorough, action-packed look at Bhutan – both on and off the beaten trail. True bucket list adventure from start to finish.
Fly into the fascinating city of Kathmandu and explore the temples and bazaars with your guide. Continue on then to the mystical mountain kingdom of Bhutan, a land of yetis and dragons, ancient monasteries, and traditional customs. Meet your private guide and spend time discovering the capital city Thimphu. With the main sights seen, head out on a 46km mountain bike loop around the city. The highlight of this ride is cresting the Sinchu-la pass and admiring the spectacular mountain views. Next, visit Punakha where you will have two days of rewarding hiking and rafting in the Punakha Valley. At your next stop Paro, mountain bike some incredible trails including descending the Chela-la pass. Also, hike to the Tiger’s Nest Monastery, clinging from the cliff edge. Fly back to Kathmandu with amazing stories for friends and family back home.
