Why this circuit

The Hills Escape circuit strings together Nepal and Bhutan, two Himalayan kingdoms where Indian travelers can soak in snow peaks, monasteries, and cool-climate hill towns without the visa hassle of Western mountain destinations. It's ideal for honeymooners seeking serene, less-touristy landscapes, families wanting an easy short-haul mountain break, and backpackers chasing budget-friendly Himalayan trekking. Pairing Nepal's rugged, affordable trails with Bhutan's curated, high-value luxury makes far more sense together than separately, since both are reachable in the same short leave window from Delhi.

Booking order

Book Nepal flights first since Kathmandu is a low-cost, high-frequency route from Delhi with flexible fares, then add Bhutan as the second leg via Kathmandu-Paro or Delhi-Paro depending on Drukair/Bhutan Airlines availability. Use an open-jaw ticket flying into Kathmandu and out of Paro (or vice versa) to avoid backtracking to Delhi, and book Bhutan's mandatory Sustainable Development Fee and flights well in advance since Drukair/Bhutan Airlines seats are limited and prices rise fast in peak months.

Best season

October to early December and March to April are the sweet spots, offering clear mountain views, crisp air, and blooming rhododendrons in Nepal alongside Bhutan's festival season. Both countries share a similar Himalayan weather pattern, avoiding the June-September monsoon that brings landslides and flight cancellations, and steering clear of Bhutan's biting winter cold from late December to February.

Common questions

Do Indians need visa for all countries in the hills_escape circuit?

No traditional visa is needed for either country: Nepal allows Indians entry with just a Voter ID or passport, while Bhutan requires a simple online entry permit and an SDF payment rather than a visa.

How many days is ideal for the hills_escape circuit?

8-10 days works well: 4-5 days for Kathmandu, Pokhara or Nagarkot in Nepal, and 4-5 days for Paro, Thimphu and Punakha in Bhutan.

What is the total cost of the hills_escape circuit from India?

Budget roughly ₹65,000-₹1,10,000 per person including round-trip flights from Delhi, Bhutan's SDF, mid-range stays, local transport and meals, with Bhutan being the pricier leg due to the daily sustainable fee.

Can I do the hills_escape circuit with UPI / Indian cards?

In Nepal, Indian debit/credit cards work at most hotels and city ATMs, and UPI is increasingly accepted in Kathmandu/Pokhara; in Bhutan, card acceptance is patchy outside main towns and UPI is limited, so carry INR cash as a backup.

When is the best time to visit hills_escape?

October-November and March-April offer the best mix of clear mountain views, pleasant temperatures and manageable crowds, while avoiding the monsoon-hit summer and freezing Bhutan winters.
