India, Bhutan, and Nepal are located in the south of Asia. Because of their geographic proximity, they are usually visited together in one trip.
These three countries have many things in common such as being full of Hindu and Buddhist relics, but still are distinct to provide you a colorful travel feast of three courses.
- Incredible India: diversity of religions, caste system influence, unique heritage sites like the Taj Mahal, wildlife, a museum of royal palaces...
- Adventurous Nepal: religious Kathmandu Valley, wonderful mountain trekking/biking routes, great views of Mt. Everest...
- Holy Bhutan: incredible religious sites, seclusion — even without traffic lights, prioritizing Gross National Happiness instead of GDP, charming trekking paths...
Take your time on a private journey to uncover the secrets of the Indian subcontinent.
1. How to organize an itinerary to India, Bhutan, and Nepal?
How Many Days to Stay: 2–3 Weeks
To get the essence of each destination without wearing yourself out, usually it takes 7–10 days in India, 4–7 days in Nepal, and 4–7 days in Bhutan.
A classic itinerary covering the main areas lasts around 2 weeks. A longer holiday time usually leads to a more leisurely travel pace and a deeper exploration.
For a holiday around 10–12 days, just India-Nepal or India-Bhutan are suggested.
Important note: To promote travel of "High Value Low Volume", independent travel or semi-independent travel is not permitted in Bhutan. All tours and activities must be organized by a travel agency.
A Typical South Asia Tour Itinerary: 14 Days
- Day 1 - 6: Arrive in Delhi, explore Delhi, Agra ((Taj Mahal)) and Jaipur (Pink City)
- Day 7 - 8: Flight from Delhi to Kathmandu, explore Kathmandu Valley
- Day 9 - 13: Flight from Kathmandu to Paro, explore Thimphu, Punakha and Paro
- Day 14: Depart Bhutan from Paro International Airport
Where to Start the Tour: Usually from Delhi in India
Out of the three countries, India is easily the most well-connected to North America, Europe, and other parts of the world, and it is the most convenient to fly to.
It is usually more convenient and affordable to start your journey from Delhi in India. There are direct flights to Delhi from New York, Chicago, and San Francisco in the U.S., from London and Paris in Europe, and from Sydney in Australia. Flights from the U.S. will take around 14 to 17 hours and flights from Europe will take around 8. Contact us for advice on the best possible flight route from your city.
From Delhi, it takes about 1½ hours to reach Kathmandu in Nepal. Tribhuvan International Airport (IATA: KTM) in Kathmandu is the only international airport in Nepal.
From Kathmandu, it takes less than 1½ hours to reach Paro in Bhutan. Paro International Airport (IATA: PBH) is the only international airport in Bhutan. This air route is only operated by Drukair (Royal Bhutan Airlines) and Bhutan Airlines.
After finishing your travel in Bhutan, you can exit via Paro International Airport. From Paro there are flights to Bangkok, Singapore, Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, etc.
Flying from India to Bhutan and then finishing the tour in Kathmandu in Nepal is also reasonable or better. Kathmandu provides more international flights connections than Paro.
Possible Nepal extension: Kathmandu borders Tibet in China. You could extend your trip by 4–8 days by land or by flight to discover Tibet's culture and landscapes if you have a long holiday.

Excellent guide in Siem Reap
Our recent time spent in Siem Reap was made even more memorable by our expert guide, Som Piseth. Som was knowledgeable, attentive, flexible and super helpful - we learnt so much about Siem Reap and Cambodia in our 3 days with him. His English was excellent and his knowledge of, and pride in, his country was outstanding. We would highly recommend Som for anyone wanting an excellent guide in Siem Reap! More

Asia Highlights trip to Thailand
Our first tour guide in Bangkok, Marie, was great to tour around with. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and spoke wonderful English. Our next stop in Chang Mai we were greeted by our new tour guide, Rafael. He too was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and spoke wonderful English. He made it feel as if we were traveling around with a long time friend. Every time we arrived at a new destination, we were greeted at the airport by someone with a sign with our name making our travels easy. I would definitely recommend Asia Highlights to anyone looking for a well planned trip of a lifetime! More

Thailand
We loved Chiang Mai and Susie did a great job showing us several temples, taking many pictures of us with the elephants at the sanctuary (a definite highlight of the entire trip!), and making sure we were well fed, which became a running joke between us.We had a very relaxing few days in Phuket enjoying the beautiful beaches. Kai was great, answering all of our questions and giving us a nice tour of the old town. The all-day speedboat tour of the Phi Phi islands started off a little shaky as the sea was quite rough so if you’re at all uncomfortable bouncing around in a speedboat, you might want to skip that tour. Things did calm down as the day went on and some of the areas they took us to for swimming, snorkeling, etc were really beautiful. A couple of the islands were too crowded with people. More

Ask for Victor!
If you are traveling to Bangkhok you need to request Victor. He made our trip amazing! My family completed bucket list items with his guidance. He knew exactly how to get us places, kept us on time, made us feel safe, educated us on history, spoke excellent English and was genuinely a nice man! Everyone we encountered was awesome- but Victor is the reason for my 5 star review! More

Perfect 2 WK Thailand Trip for a Solo Female Traveler
Bank was our guide in Bangkok and he showed us around the city with ease and we were able to see and try things I never would have planned on my own.

2. How much does an India, Nepal, and Bhutan tour cost?
A typical private 14-Day India, Nepal, and Bhutan Tour costs around US$4,500–4,900 per person based on 4-star hotels for a group of 2 people.
Special arrangements or experiences will make the price higher. For example, a special romantic dinner in a heritage palace hotel, a memorable overnight cruise in the backwaters of south India, an amazing helicopter journey over Mount Everest in Nepal, etc.

Tour Costs in India and Nepal
Traveling in India and Nepal costs a little less than in other Asian countries. For example, a classic private 11-day India and Nepal Tour costs around US$2,400 (around US$220 per day) per person based on 4-star accommodation, including domestic flights and flights between India and Nepal.
Tour Costs in Bhutan
The costs for domestic travel in Bhutan are determined by Tourism Council of Bhutan instead of by travel agencies. The costs differ according to hotel ratings, group sizes, and peak/off season. For example, it costs US$230–280 per person per day based on 3-star hotels for a group of 2 people. The meals, the hotels, the entrance fees, the driver, and the guide are compulsory inclusions in the package.
The flight costs to and from Bhutan are usually higher than for most air routes in Asia because of limited airline competition (only Drukair and Bhutan Airlines). For example, it costs around US$350 each way per person between Delhi (India) and Paro (Bhutan) or between Kathmandu (Nepal) and Paro (Bhutan), US$100–200 higher than a comparable flight between Thailand and Vietnam.
3. What is the best time to visit India, Bhutan, and Nepal?
Through all these three countries:
- Best months for weather (cool/warm and dry), but most expensive: March, September to November
- Good months for weather (dry and hot) with better deals: April, May
- Rainy season (not good for trekking), but with good prices: June to August
- Cold weather (not good for trekking) but good for ordinary visiting: December to February
Generally, India, Bhutan and Nepal can be visited year-round. But if you're keen on trekking, for which Bhutan, Nepal, and north India are paradises, it is better avoid the rainy season (June to August) and the snowy season (December to February).

India's monsoon season is from June to August. The northmost areas of the country like the Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra and Jaipur) and Himalayan regions don't get as much rain as the center and south, but the rains can disrupt flights and delay travel plans. >>>Best (and Worst) Times to Visit India, Best Places to Go in Each Month

4. What are the top places to visit in India, Bhutan, and Nepal?
Travel Highlights in India
- Delhi: the first impression of India, see a world of difference between Old Delhi and New Delhi
- Agra: The Taj Mahal
- Jaipur: The Pink City, various magnificent palaces
For the first-time visitors, the golden triangle route (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur) cannot be missed.
You can land in India's grand capital of Delhi for a representative first impression of India by visiting India's largest mosque and taking a rickshaw ride through the narrow lanes of Old Delhi's bustling bazaar.
After Delhi, journey to the Mughal city of Agra, which is home to the magnificent Taj Mahal. Admiring this love-inspired monument at sunrise time before large tourist groups flood in is marvelous.
Basking in the fascinating colors of the 'Pink City' of Jaipur and staying overnight in a graceful heritage palace hotel will never disappoint you.
For a deeper exploration, extending your tour by 2 days to Varanasi (the spiritual capital of India) or 5–7 days in Rajasthan (for magnificent palaces and striking desert scenery) is worthy of your time.
Suggested read: 14-Day Classic Rajasthan Tour >>>
Travel Highlights in Bhutan
- Paro: Taktshang Goemba Hike (also called Tiger's Nest Monastery)
- Thimphu: a secret place hidden in the Himalayas, it holds the offices of the royals
- Punakha: former capital of Bhutan, getaway for most mountain hiking routes
Most people visiting Bhutan will explore Thimphu, Punakha, and Paro.
Paro, where the famous Tiger's Nest Monastery is located, is a small and quaint city full of sacred sites and historical buildings. Taking a 5-hour trek to Tiger's Nest Monastery is rewarding for its holy atmosphere and breathtaking panoramic views. It is visited by all Bhutanese at least once in their lifetime.
Thimphu, the capital, is the largest city in Bhutan. It is famous as it has both modern technology and ancient customs. Thimphu is a great starting point when visiting Bhutan as there you can access an ATM to stock up on currency and also explore some of the city's religious and cultural sites.
Punakha, the former capital of Bhutan, will provide you with incredible views of the Himalayas and an abundance of religious sites.
Travel Highlights in Nepal
- Kathmandu Valley: Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan, Nepal's cultural center
- Nagarkot: a panoramic Himalayan view including Mount Everest
- Pokhara: adventure (trekking, boating, mountain biking, etc.)
In Nepal, the best place to visit is Kathmandu Valley, which mainly covers three areas, Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Patan. They are around 30 minutes' driving from each other.
Kathmandu Valley is Nepal's heart. It holds the best of Nepali cultural treasures — splendid temple architecture, magnificent royal palaces, and holy pilgrimage sites. Kathmandu has some of Nepal's most beautiful temples including Swayambhunath and Pashupatinath.
Kathmandu is also the starting point for the famous 1-hour Mount Everest Flight for admiring the south side of Mountain Everest and other peaks like Shisha Pangma. Definitely a flight of a lifetime opportunity!
To enjoy a panoramic Himalayan view including Mount Everest when the sun rises, an overnight stay in Nagarkot should be on your list. The best time for a breathtaking view is the dry season — from mid-October to early April. It is about 1 hour by car from Kathmandu.
If you're keen on adventure (trekking, boating, mountain biking, etc.), Pokhara, located near the Annapurna mountain chain, could be an ideal place for you. It is around 30 minutes by flight or 5½ hours by car from Kathmandu.
5. Do I need visas to enter India, Nepal and Bhutan?
Travelers from most countries require a visa to explore the beauty of these three nations.
If you're from Europe, America or Oceania, the most convenient ways are:
- India: e-tourist visa
- Nepal: tourist visa on arrival
- Bhutan: visas are only available through a travel agency
India Tourist E-Visas
Visa applications must be made online at the government's official website, no less than four days and no more than 30 days before the date of travel (for a one-month double entry visa).
The e-visa application process has five main steps:
- Fill out the e-Visa application form online, upload your passport photo, and a PDF of your passport ID page.
- Use a credit card or debit card (both charge 2.5% of the e-Visa fee), or pay via PayPal (charges 3.5% of the applicable e-Visa fee), to pay the e-Visa processing fee online. The cost is around US$25, US$40 or US$80, depending your nationality, plus a bank fee.
- Receive an Application ID and Electronic Travel Authorization via e-mail within 3 to 5 working days.
- Use your Application ID and passport number to check your visa status. Make sure it shows "Granted" before your travel.
- Print your Electronic Travel Authorization before flying to India and present it at the Immigration Check Post to receive an e-Visa stamp on your passport.
Nepal's Tourist Visa on Arrival
It is offered at the Kathmandu airport.
There are three steps to get the visa:
- Fill in an arrival card at the airport. You can also fill out a short form online to make your visa processing at the airport even faster. Filling out the form online, you must enter within 15 days from the date the receipt is issued.
- Make the payment: The cost is around US$30, US$50, or US$125 for a duration of 15 days, 30 days, or 90 days respectively. Cash is the only payment method accepted and USD is preferred. ATMs and a currency exchange facility are available nearby if your currency is not accepted.
- Get your visa: provide all the documents including the arrival card, passport-sized photo, passport, and payment receipt. You will get your visa shortly afterward.
Bhutan Visas
Unlike most countries in the world, a Bhutan visa is not granted by consulates or embassies. It is issued by the immigration department in Thimphu.
Tell your 1:1 travel advisor all of your Bhutan ideas/needs, confirm your booking, and leave all the rest, including visas, to be taken care of by us.
A Bhutan visa usually costs US$40 per person and is not refundable.
Your travel advisor will email you a visa clearance letter issued by the Tourism Council of Bhutan, which must be presented at the immigration desk upon arrival at the airport. The official visa is then stamped on your passport.

6. Is it safe to visit India, Nepal, and Bhutan?
Traveling in South Asia, especially with a guide in a private car, is quite safe. However, make sure to pay attention to the following safety measures while you are traveling to make sure that your trip goes as smoothly as possible.
India
The biggest complaint that travelers have in India is being stared at. This may be uncomfortable for you but often happens out of sheer curiosity. To minimize staring, you're suggested dressing conservatively especially when visiting crowded areas or famous monuments.
Poverty and beggars are both common in India. You might need to be prepared to see more poverty than you're used to. It is not recommended to give money to beggars as begging has become a lucrative industry in India and it is best not to encourage it.
Nepal
Nepal is an extremely poor country and often struggles with basic necessities. It is normal for the country to experience power outages and you might encounter this when visiting there. Along with this, Nepal also has spotty and slow internet access.
It is extremely important to be careful when trekking in Nepal. Only go trekking with a knowledgeable guide, who knows the signs of altitude sickness well. Tell your guide if you are feeling dizzy or short of breath.
Bhutan
Smoking tobacco is prohibited in Bhutan and cigarettes are often not allowed in public places. If you are a smoker, you will need to ask your guide where you can legally smoke on your tour.
For any other information not mentioned above, feel free to contact us to ask about it.

It was a whirlwind across a number of cities, but a very comprehensive experience across the many sides and cultures of China. Most days had sufficient activities, but weren’t overwhelming, which was great.Across cities, we had excellent tour guides, like Kitty (Beijing), Jenny (Xian), William (Guilin/Yangshuo), Kris (Shanghai), and Tony (Yellow Mountains.)
moreFrom the time we landed in Beijing until we left, we were well taken care of. My wife and I had Lily Liu as our guide and she was amazing. From arranging visits to all the different sights, to teaching us the history, it was fantastic.
moreThe tour was excellent. Selinda was very knowledgeable about all the aspects of our tour. Selinda was very interesting and knew so much Chinese history
moreWe made a private tour through South China in January 2024. Altogether Chengdu was the highlight. We had an incredible day at Emeishan. In Chengdu our guidewas Helen. She was the diamond of all. Speaking fluently English, full of interesting stories, laughing and talking all the time. We missed her the rest of our tour. We highly recommend to go to Chengdu for 3 days when visiting China, especially with Helen.
moreOther highlights are too many to mention but here are a few Ken taking us to the Terracotta Warriors and our food tour in Xian was amazing,
moreOur day volunteering at the Panda Base was truly unforgettable. Helen, our guide, provided us with invaluable insights about Chengdu and the pandas, enriching our tour with her knowledge and expertise. We're grateful to Helen for accompanying us throughout the day and showcasing the highlights of China.
moreWe had a booking with China Highlights through Silvia Ye who guarenteed a perfect organisation. In Chengdu our guide was Helen. She was the diamond of all.

moreWe traveled to China during the Chinese new year and we had Kris as our guide and he is simply knowledgeable,helpful and great.
moreWe visited Guilin for 2 days and stayed in the Guilin Waterfall hotel. Guilin was absolutely beautiful! Our guide, William, was very knowledgeable and kind! He taught us so much about Guilin and the surrounding area! We really enjoyed trying the specialty rice noodles of Guilin. Our highlight was the Li river cruise.
moreAmazing tour and the guide Mr. 贺霄 was very accommodating with our needs and request as we have bought our 2 years old with us. Well explained for all the place we visited. Any additional cost were informed well ahead and didn't felt any pressure if we opt not to go for additional detour. The trip was relaxing/ laid back/no rushing with zero shopping!
