This meticulously crafted Luxury Nepal Bhutan Tour thrives under the warm embrace of spring (March-May) or the crisp charm of autumn (September-November). These shoulder seasons to the peak trekking months offer the following advantages:

If you’d like to immerse yourself in these celebrations, you can adjust your travel dates accordingly (be prepared for potential price fluctuations and higher booking demands during festival periods).
