    Shannon

    Asked on August 30th, 2022

    Would that be possible with this tour? We want to choose this tour because the flights are included and that makes it easier, but we also really want to see this temple! Can you please tell us what is possible?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Nepal Social TreksOperatorWritten September 2022

      It is possible to cover Chimi Lhakhang, which is in Punakha, on a 3 night 4 days tour, however, you will not have time to visit Tiger nest. The itinerary will be like this: Day 1: Kathmandu-Paro-Thimphu, Day 2: Thimphu- Punakkha, visit Chimi Lhakhang. Day 3: Puknkha-Paro, Day 4: Paro-Kathamndu

    • S

      Shannon

      TravelerWritten September 2022

      The two things we want to see most are Tigers Nest and the Fertility Temple. Is there any way we could visit both within four days? Also what would the cost be if we added one extra day to visit Puknkha? Also, flights are included in the tour if we book with you, correct?

    • Nepal Social TreksOperatorWritten September 2022

      If the most important for you is to visit Tiger nest And chimi Lhakhang then it is possible to cover in 4 days tour and we will escape the Thimphu. Round trip flight from Kathmandu is included. Once you booked, we Will update you all including the flight.

    Beth

    Asked on July 7th, 2022

    My friend and I are planning a trip to Nepal and Bhutan for early August. We would like to travel Nepal independently and then join a tour to see some highlights of Bhutan for about 4 or 5 days. Our nationalities are USA and Peru. Can you kindly advise if this tour is operating and if there are any restrictions with covid? Furthermore, we noticed that there are no flights from Nepal to Bhutan — could your company support in arranging them for us?
