Nepal Bhutan tour difficulty & altitude sickness
The Nepal-Bhutan tour combines easy-to-moderate hikes at some points. You will use a comfortable drive from one monument to another. In Nepal, we do not have any hikes, but in Bhutan, you will hike for a few hours to reach Taktsang monastery.
The hiking trail ascends through dense forests. Many travelers opt for a pony ride up to halfway to ease it.
There is no risk of altitude sickness on the Nepal Bhutan tour even though we touch high elevations during a tour in Bhutan. You will cross Dochula's pass at 3,010 meters while driving from Thimphu to Punakha.
Your body will not face any strain nor see any difficulty in breathing. As we stay at a high elevation for a very short period, the chances of altitude sickness are almost zero.
