Besides, the breathtaking views of the world-famous Himalayas including the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, the panoramic and mesmerizing sunrise view over the Himalayas from Sarangkot Hill, or the unparalleled views of the Fishtail Mountain mirrored by the Fewa Lake is absolutely stunning.

After exploring Pokhara, the tour takes you to Bhutan. A flight to Thimpu, Bhutan’s capital, leads to captivating sightseeing excursions.

Highly recommend Odea! I arrived in Nepal with no plans for my 3 weeks and they helped me organise my trip, including hiking, sights in & around Kathmandu Valley and of course, Bhutan! They were professional, curteous and respectful of my budget restrictions, needs/wants and expectations. Thanks to them, my time in Nepal and Bhutan was a trip I will never forget.
