India & Bhutan

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

India and Bhutan together offer one of the most culturally and geographically diverse travel combinations in Asia. India, the world's most populous country, draws travellers with its ancient temples, Mughal architecture, Himalayan trekking, vibrant street food, and a coastline stretching from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal. Landlocked Bhutan, nestled in the eastern Himalayas, is renowned for its pristine Buddhist monasteries, dramatic mountain landscapes, and a unique development philosophy centred on Gross National Happiness. Together, the two destinations attract independent and group travellers seeking a blend of spiritual heritage, mountain adventure, and living cultural traditions.

India & Bhutan: Delhi, Darjeeling, Sikkim & the Himalayan Kingdom — Self-Launched

A self-launched version of UncleSam Holidays' 16-day India & Bhutan circuit — Delhi's Mughal monuments, the Taj Mahal, the tea hills of Darjeeling, Sikkim's monasteries around Gangtok and Tsomgo Lake, then overland into Bhutan for Thimphu, Punakha and Paro including Tiger's Nest. This version swaps private cars and guides for trains, shared jeeps and local buses, books guesthouses and family hotels direct, and uses self-bookable day tours or in-city guide hire where a guide genuinely adds value. Note: Bhutan's Sustainable Development Fee (USD 100/night for most nationalities, grown to ~£1,150 for a 5-night stay) is mandatory and cannot be DIY-bypassed — budget it separately; the estimate below includes it. Budget is approximate and assumes dorm/budget twin rooms, shared transport and mostly local food.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for India & Bhutan yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
