Here are few frequently asked questions for Nepal and Bhutan tour;

When is the best time to visit Nepal and Bhutan?

Both countries share similar climates, characterized by distinct wet and dry seasons. The ideal periods to explore these Himalayan kingdoms are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). However, you can visit throughout the year, depending on your preferences and desired activities. If you are interested in undertaking the tour offered by Himalayan Mentor, you can visit Nepal and Bhutan throughout the year.

Can I travel independently in Bhutan and Nepal?

In Nepal, independent travel is permitted, allowing you the freedom to explore the country without significant restrictions. The only exception is trekking trails, which require permits but not necessarily the presence of a guide. Traveling within Nepal is hassle-free, granting you the liberty to venture anywhere in the country.

However, Bhutan has stricter regulations in place due to its emphasis on environmental tourism. All tourists visiting Bhutan must be part of a pre-booked tour that includes a private vehicle, driver, and guide. Even during treks, a guide and support team will accompany you at all times. These measures are implemented to safeguard the kingdom's environment from potential harm caused by tourism and to preserve its unique experience for future visitors.

How can I travel between Bhutan and Nepal?

Conveniently located in Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, Tribhuvan International Airport offers easy access to Bhutan, with regular flights connecting the two countries. Among the nine airports in five countries with direct flights to Bhutan, this route ensures seamless travel. During the peak season, daily flights are available from Nepal, and additional flights are often arranged to accommodate high demand. With a reasonable cost of approximately US$ 240 per person (one way, depends on availability), the flight is an affordable option. The duration of the flight is around 1 hour and 15 minutes, arriving in Paro during the late morning.

How to get Nepal and Bhutan visa?

Upon arrival at Kathmandu airport, you can easily obtain a Nepal visa. The cost for a 15-day multiple entry tourist visa is US$30, while a 30-day visa is priced at US$50.

Obtaining a Bhutan visa is a straightforward process. You have two options: you can either apply online or seek assistance from the tour company with which you have booked your tour.
