Together with your guide, you’ll explore the impressive Durbar Square with its golden gate, pagodas and intricate wood carvings, and stroll through the lively Pottery Square, where artisans still shape clay into art by hand.

You can relax by the pool, enjoy an Ayurvedic massage or simply listen to the sounds of the jungle as the sun sets.
The programme for the coming days can be tailored entirely to your preferences. Each activity has been carefully curated to allow you to experience the wilderness of Chitwan National Park from different perspectives: on the water, in the forest, on foot or by jeep. Drift slowly downstream along the Rapti River and enjoy the sight of sunbathing crocodiles, grazing deer and circling waterbirds. This magical boat safari is particularly special at sunrise with a light breakfast, or at sunset with a drink in hand. It is a gentle, enchanting way to explore the edge of the national park.
Another option is the jeep safari, where you cross the river by boat and begin your jeep safari via the remote Bhimle post.

The iconic monastery, perched dramatically on a sheer cliff 900 metres above the Paro Valley, is one of Bhutan’s most sacred and impressive sites.
Those who do not wish to climb all the way to the monastery can stop halfway at the Taktsang Cafeteria, where you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee with a magnificent view of the monastery complexes across the valley. Lunch is served here before you begin the descent back down to the valley.
Tips from a Travel Specialist
The walk uphill takes an average of three hours and takes you through pine forests full of prayer flags fluttering gently in the wind. The path is quite steep, so a walking stick may come in handy. For those who prefer not to walk, it is possible to hire a pony to take you halfway along the route.

Bhaktapur is the third largest city in the Kathmandu Valley, and of the three nmog the best preserved. Here, you will travel back in time for a while: narrow streets where you can still see many cottage industries in the form of smithies, woodcarving workshops, sewing workshops, etc. Bhaktapur is known for its refined carvings, which you can see in the houses and buildings around the windows and along the eaves.

Destinations
Paro District
Paro lies at an altitude of 2,200 metres and is the gateway to beautiful Bhutan. This Himalayan oasis is home to many of Bhutan’s oldest temples and monasteries. So there is plenty to see in this traditional town on the banks of the Pa Chhu (Paro River).
A fantastic day trip is the trek to the famous Taktshang (Tiger’s Nest) Hermitage, built against the sheer face of a 1,000-metre-high cliff.
Phobjikha Valley
Nestled in the western slopes of the Black Mountains lies the bowl-shaped Phobjikha Valley, a breathtakingly picturesque glacial valley situated at 3,000 metres above sea level and tucked away close to central Bhutan. A large flock of black-necked cranes soars above the vast expanses of lush greenery that cover the landscape, whilst the alpine region is covered in thick grassland, marshland and dwarf bamboo. The valley is also home to an abundance of wildlife, including barking deer, wild boar, sambar deer, the Himalayan black bear, the Himalayan serow, leopards and foxes. Highlights include Gangtey Goenpa Monastery, the Black-necked Crane Information Centre, and a two-hour walk along the Gangtey Nature Trail. The valley also serves as a convenient starting point for the Jigme Singye Wangchuck National Park, one of the largest unspoilt forest areas in the Himalayas.
Gangtey
Idyllically situated in the beautiful Phobjikha Valley, the small village of Gangtey lies in the Wangdue Phodrang district in Central Bhutan. It serves as an excellent base from which to explore the spectacularly beautiful surroundings. This village lies at an altitude of 3,000 metres and is tucked away in an ancient glacial valley with lush greenery and cultivated fields.
The village of Gangtey is home to the 17th-century Gangtey Monastery, the only Nyingmapa monastery on the western slopes of the Black Mountains. In winter, visitors can spot the endangered black-necked cranes migrating from the Tibetan Plateau and the vast plains of Central Asia to this warmer corner of the world. The lucky ones can enjoy the famous Tshechu festival, a lively and colourful annual celebration featuring a vibrant mix of games, costumes, dancing and drumming.
Thimphu
The capital of Bhutan and the official seat of government. Thimpu is located at an altitude of 2,400 metres. It is an interesting mix of modern and historical architecture, traditional elements interspersed with modern buildings. Highlights include the Memorial Chorten, the Folk Heritage Museum, the national library, the textile museum and numerous craft shops.
Bhutan
Kathmandu
Nepal's capital is set in a beautiful setting amid snow-capped mountain peaks with a very friendly population, a number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a host of ornate stone temples hundreds of years old. The city can easily be seen as a big open-air museum, as there are particularly many ancient temples, squares and royal palaces to admire. Some highlights include a visit to Durbar Square, the central square with magnificent 12th-century Hindu temples, Kumari Bahal (the house of the living goddess), and the sacred Buddhist Swayambhunath Stupa. You visit the latter at sunset, when the last rays of the sun set the white monument in a magical glow.
Wangdue Phodrang
Wangdue Phodrang is named after the dzong (fortress) which dominated the district in central Bhutan. Built in 1638 by the nation's founder, Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, the architectural wonder served as a temple and administrative centre. In 2012, the dzong burnt down, supposedly due to an electrical fault and plans are on track to rebuild it. The town has a charming and picturesque atmosphere. Tourist shops line the main street and there's a colourful weekly farmers' market. In autumn, Wangdue Phodrang Tshechu is observed for three days; a traditional festival known for the Raksha Mangcham (the dance of the Ox).
Nepal
Chitwan National Park
Chitwan National Park has a history spanning more than three decades in park management and a wealth of experience in resolving conflicts between the park and local communities. It is a rich nature reserve in the Terai, in the subtropical south of Nepal. The nature park is renowned for its great diversity of animals and plants … It is home to more than 50 species of mammals and around 350 species of birds, including birds of paradise, the slender-billed vulture, the Bengal vulture, the Javan marabou and the greater river eagle. During a tour of the park, you can spot various species of monkeys, sloth bears, Indian elephants, crocodiles and leopards, whilst the endangered Indian rhinos and Bengal tigers can also be found here … a wonderful experience for nature and wildlife lovers! A few years ago, the number of Indian rhinos rose to 600 (the second-largest population in the world) and the number of Bengal tigers increased to 125 adult animals. The creation of the park has marked a major step forward in saving the rhinos and tigers threatened with extinction … and since they have been protected, the populations of these animals have also improved significantly.
Sauraha
Resting amidst the tropical forest and dense towering trees, Sauraha is a small but lively village within the wonderful Chitwan District of Nepal. This quaint village has become an increasingly popular tourist destination, housing inviting restaurants, charming gift shops and fascinating attractions, such as the Tharu Cultural Museum and Research Centre, featuring educational exhibitions of the indigenous Tharu people. The enchanting destination of Sauraha is the gateway to the lush Chitwan National Park, where visitors can look forward to spotting rhino, monkey, deer and Bengal tiger by vehicle or on foot. It also serves as a base for travellers heading to the Hindu pilgrimage village of Devghat, home to various charming temples and caves dedicated to Hindu gods, goddesses and saints.
Paro
The city of Paro is set in a dramatic valley, framed by lush rice terraces and the meandering Paro Chhu River. Towering mountains rise above the city, with their snow-capped peaks and deep gorges highlighting the natural beauty of the area. Paro provides a convenient gateway to the surrounding wonders of the Paro Valley, with its lively main street full of traditional wooden houses, local shops and restaurants. The skyline is dominated by Paro Dzong, an imposing 1644 fort, which houses a monastery and administrative offices. Above the city, the National Museum is housed in an old watchtower, preserving relics from Bhutan's rich past. For those looking for adventure, a trek to Taktsang Monastery offers breathtaking views, while Paro's cultural calendar is brightened by the Paro Tsechu festival.
