How to visit Nepal and Bhutan

First of all you should know that Nepal is an extraordinary destination, and Bhutan is one of the few remaining places on the planet that choose to stay isolated, in order to preserve their old way of live in a modern world.

When to visit.
Spring and Autumn are perfect. October is a month with excellent weather, sunny but not too hot. Try not to go in the summer when the monsoon arrives and rain pours on the slopes of the Himalayas. The dry season is also present in the winter months but you should expect a cold weather and budget hotels don't have proper heating.
