The spring departures visit Paro Festival, while the autumn departures take in Thimphu Festival.Please note: This itinerary is valid for departures starting in Kathmandu on 6 September 2024 (Thimphu Festival) and 2 April 2025 (Paro Festival).Please refer to the alternative Thimphu Festival itinerary for departures starting in Kathmandu on 11 September 2024 and 30 September 2025 (Thimphu Festival).
