FAQs
Yes, you generally need a visa to visit these countries. As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, visas for Nepal can be obtained upon arrival at the airport or land borders. For Tibet, you'll need to obtain a Tibet Travel Permit through a registered travel agency in China. Bhutan requires visitors to book a tour with a licensed Bhutanese tour operator, who will arrange the visa process on your behalf.
Nepal is known for its stunning Himalayan landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Some must-visit attractions include Kathmandu (the capital city), Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, and Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple).
Tibet is renowned for its spiritual significance and breathtaking scenery. The major attractions in Tibet include Lhasa (the capital city), Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Street, and the monasteries of Lhasa.

In general, the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons offer pleasant weather and clear views of the mountains.
