This once secretive Himalayan kingdom, off limits to tourists until the 1970s, takes much pride in, and holds steadfastly onto its unique customs and traditions, and strives to retain the charm of the old world with a passion you are unlikely to see anywhere else in the world. The only country to measure its Gross National Happiness, tiny and mountainous Bhutan is certainly a one-off, and the opportunity to be one of those lucky few to experience this unique outlook on life, shaped by Buddha’s teachings, is too incredible to miss.

Sandwiched between Tibet to the north and India to the south, the relatively small nation of Nepal certainly packs a punch. It is here you will find the majority of the highest mountains on earth, rare wildlife species and possibly of most importance, some of the world’s friendliest people. On arrival the capital Kathmandu definitely makes an impression with its chaotic and dusty streets, and just wait to you head out of the city, be it to the lowlands or the highlands – this country is like nowhere you have been before.
