We had a multi-country tour with Escape Nepal. We visited Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan and all these 3 countries are neighboring Himalayan Country. We spend around 20 days in all three countries.

Escape Nepal is based in Nepal and arranged our tour of Tibet-Lhasa and Bhutan as well and all the itineraries, hotels, transfers, flights were perfectly arranged. Further, the visa and permit to travel Tibet and Bhutan were also arranged without any problem.

The travel planner Arjun who also the manager of the company is helpful in the arrangement and to address all our concerns and to book all nice hotels all throughout the tour.

Highly recommended and we are already planning the next trip to Nepal, probably the Annapurna Base camp trek next time.
