In Punakha visit the stunning Punakha Dzong, one of Bhutan’s most beautiful fortresses, situated at the confluence of two rivers. Walk through nearby villages and light a butter lamp in a local temple for blessings. In the afternoon relax at your luxury hotel in the valley’s farmland, with views of the Mo Chhu River and surrounding forested hills.

Back to your hotel for lunch and rest. Spend your afternoon shopping for local crafts, revisiting favourite sites or simply unwinding in nature. End your day with a farewell dinner.
Fly to Kathmandu, the bustling capital of Nepal. On arrival, your private guide will meet you and transfer you to your hotel. Start exploring the city with a walk through its old quarters with temples, shrines and markets. Visit Durbar Square with the royal palaces and courtyards, then Boudhanath Stupa, one of the world’s largest Buddhist stupas. At Swayambhunath, enjoy sunset views from the hilltop.

Visit the temple itself, a key centre of Tibetan Buddhism. Later, see the Potala Palace from outside and admire its layered structure against the sky. Check into your hotel and enjoy a quiet evening as you begin to absorb the spiritual atmosphere of this amazing city.
More of Lhasa’s historic and spiritual treasures. Return to the Potala Palace, once the winter home of the Dalai Lama. Climb its many steps to see grand halls, golden stupas and wall paintings that tell Tibet’s Buddhist story. Visit Norbulingka, the Dalai Lama’s former summer palace, in peaceful gardens. Stop at Sera Monastery to watch monks debate Buddhist philosophy—a lively and fascinating ritual.

Whether it was the Tiger’s Nest, Boudhanath or Potala Palace, each place has given you a glimpse into the region’s deep traditions, kind people and extraordinary landscapes.
Embarking on the "Himalayan Odyssey," we sought to create a narrative that transcends the typical tour experience. The inspiration stemmed from a desire to intimately connect travellers with the soul of three distinct Himalayan regions - Bhutan, Nepal, and Tibet.
Each destination was selected for its unique ability to weave together natural beauty with deep-rooted spirituality and rich cultural heritage. From the cliffside Tiger's Nest in Bhutan to the ancient streets of Kathmandu and the sacred temples of Lhasa, this tour is a celebration of diversity and serenity.
Our vision was to offer more than just a journey; it's a path to self-discovery, inspired by the timeless wisdom and breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas. The 13-day odyssey is not just a passage through lands but a journey into the heart of age-old traditions, designed to leave travellers with memories that resonate far beyond the trip.
Our expedition's flexible approach allows us to adapt to new opportunities and conditions. We offer a range of activities from easy to moderate, tailored to your preference. Participants should be fit for activities such as walks, treks, and visits to cultural sites, with options for more strenuous hikes. Our trips are suitable for families.
Accommodation: Our tours feature the finest accommodations in each destination, from charming boutique hotels to cosy lodges, ensuring a comfortable stay with authentic cuisine. We carefully choose each location for its alignment with our itinerary and the activities planned, prioritising comfort and local experience.
Transportation: All transportation for your tour is meticulously planned according to the itinerary. For personal explorations beyond the scheduled activities, your Expedition Leader is ready to suggest the best transportation choices, ensuring your travel within the tour is seamless and tailored to your interests.
