Cultural Tours in Bhutan offer visitors the opportunity to witness the Bhutanese rich cultural heritage, traditions, and stunning natural beauty. On this tour, you will visit beautiful Bhutanese cities of Paro, Thimphu & Punakha including beautiful Buddhist monasteries, magnificent fortresses and traditional ways of Bhutanese life. As you drive from Paro to Thimpu, then to Punakha on the lush tropical forests and mountains, you will experience the breathtaking natural beauty of this beautiful mountain country. Bhutan’s landscapes are truly awe- inspiring. While touring Bhutan's capital- Thimphu, you are amazed with bhutanese architecture, with its traditional wooden buildings, elaborately decorated with intricate carvings and paintings. 

Punakha, the former capital of Bhutan is home to Punakha Dzong, one of the largest and most impressive dzongs in Bhutan.

Travels through the Himalayas

Recently completed traveling through Bhutan and the Himalayan region of India (Ladakh) organized by Classic Vacations Nepal. The trip was fantastic. The people and landscape were amazing. Classic Vacations Nepal - especially Chet - did a great job organizing our trip and adapting to our changing schedule. Can highly recommend Bhutan and Ladakh as Himalayan destinations and Classic Vacations Nepal to organize your adventure.

Himalayan Cultural Holiday

Having just returned from an epic cultural holiday exploring the Himalayas, I can’t speak highly enough of Classic Vacations Nepal and the attentive care we were given by Chet Bhatta. Using Kathmandu in Nepal as our base we travelled to both the beautiful Kingdom of Bhutan and the breathtaking territory of Ladakh in India. Both trips were very well organized, the tour guides exceptional and the accommodation terrific. Chet could not do enough to make sure we were happy and made sure we were well prepared for the different trips from supplying an extra parka jacket and even a finger pulse oximeter for the high passes in Ladakh. He was always available to answer questions at any time of the day. We had an outstanding holiday thanks to Classic Vacations Nepal
