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 2 April 2025 (Paro Festival).Please refer to the alternative Thimphu Festival itinerary for departures starting in Kathmandu on 30 September 2025 (Thimphu Festival).
