How to Plan a Multi-Country Tour Across India, Nepal & Bhutan
Planning a tour across India, Nepal, and Bhutan is a dream trip filled with culture, nature, and spiritual richness. Here’s how to do it right.
Decide the Route & Entry Points
Start from India (major international airports in Delhi, Kolkata, or Mumbai), then head to Nepal (Kathmandu), and finally to Bhutan (via Paro or road entry from Phuentsholing). A common route: Delhi → Varanasi → Kathmandu → Pokhara → Paro → Thimphu → Bagdogra (exit).
Check Visa Requirements
India: E-Visa available for most nationalities.
Nepal: Visa on arrival for many countries.
Bhutan: Requires a pre-arranged visa and mandatory travel through a licensed Bhutanese tour operator or partner.
Book Flights & Transfers in Advance
Flights between these countries are limited and often full. Book Kathmandu–Paro and major domestic routes early.
Choose the Right Season
Best time: October to April. Clear skies, pleasant weather, and vibrant festivals in all three countries.
Hire a Local Travel Expert
A licensed travel agency can handle permits, guides, local stays, and smooth border transitions—especially important for Bhutan entry.
Pack Smart
Weather varies—carry layers, walking shoes, travel documents, and local currency.
Respect Local Cultures
Each country has its customs. Dress modestly, follow temple rules, and be mindful of photography etiquette.
