Do you have this 9 day group tour to Bhutan departing in late Sept or early Oct 2024?

Yes we have this tour for sept or oct 2024. You may let us know your exact date.

Does Oriental Journeys Pvt. Ltd. organise the Kathmandu-Paro-Kathmandu flights and what is the cost of these flights?

Yes, we do flight arrangements. It costs usd650 per person for a round trip. However, you will have an option to book it on your own.

Are you able to arrange flights from Kathmandu to Paro and Paro back to Kathmandu at an additional cost? If I have to arrange these myself can you give me more information about the times? Is this date a guaranteed departure? How do you arrange visa?

We can arrange Kathmandu-Paro-Kathmandu flight for you in an additional cost or you can do it on your own. We do have regular flights in May for Kathmandu-Paro-Kathmandu. We will make all arrangements for visa.

I am interested in the following trip: Nepal Bhutan Cultural Tour - 9 days in the period 01.04-15.04.23. Is there a trip in this period that is guaranteed to take place because enough participants have already registered? I would book the trip alone.

We are operating this tour for the time you choose and our booking is open. We hope more participants will register in next months. You may choose your date and proceed for booking. We guarantee the departure once you book your trip.

Oriental Journey's was a great tour company to work with both before and during my trip. They quickly and respectfully answered all my inquiries and were very patient with me. Machhindra was so professional pre travel and when I arrived in Nepal, Deepak Mahat met me and spent a few hours with me to make sure all the details in my itinerary were locked down. In Bhutan the ABC/Druk tour groups took such good care of me. My guide Mr. Kuenzang Tenzin was probably the best guide I have ever had (and I have been to close to 60 countries). He listened to my needs and desired and made the itinerary work for me specifically. He was friendly, sensitive, professional and so truly represented all I came to experience in Bhutan. My driver Jigme Sonam was not only an excellent and professional driver in tricky driving conditions, he was flexible sensitive to my needs. The guide and driver were all part of my team; or, at least, that is how they made me feel. The driver in Nepal was equally skilled and responsible. My guides in Nepal Amil Mahat and Nabin Dhakal were also excellent...warm, welcoming, informed, flexible and thoughtful. All hotels were great as was the food. I loved both Bhutan and Nepal and the trip itinerary gave me enough of a taste of both countries to know I will return and when I do I will use Oriental Journeys and ABC/Druk tour groups again and the same guides if possible.Show more

  Traveler•Written March 2023
  I would like you to arrange flight from Kathmandu to Paro to Kathmandu as I have no idea what times to book these flights for per itinerary. Flights are limited so I want to ensure the reservation is made. How much more do I need to pay for one night extra lodging before being in Kathmandu and the flight? What time will I arrive back from Paro so I can make my flight arrangements from the USA? Are there others signed up for these dates?
- Oriental Journeys Pvt. Ltd.Operator•Written March 2023
  I will let you know all details about the flights and cost for it as it is finalized. As this is a good season to travel there, we are expecting more people to join it. Till the date, you are one to book for it.
