Bhutan is the only carbon-negative country in the world and one of the most tightly controlled tourist destinations in Asia. All foreign visitors pay a Sustainable Development Fee of USD 100 per day, which funds free healthcare, education, and environmental conservation. MountainKick operates three Bhutan itineraries from Kathmandu: the Bhutan Dragon Quest cultural tour covering Thimphu, Punakha, and Paro including Tiger's Nest Monastery; the Chomolhari Trek to the base of Mt Chomolhari (7,326m); and the Enhanced Druk Path Trek between Paro and Thimphu through high-altitude lakes and forest. All itineraries include the SDF, licensed Bhutanese guides, accommodation, and internal transport. Best seasons are spring (March to June) and autumn (September to November).
Ride 550 km from Kathmandu to Muktinath through jungles, Chitwan wildlife, Annapurna views, and the Kali Gandaki gorge on a 13-day adventure.
