Imagine yourself in the heart of the Himalayas, surrounded by snow-capped peaks that touch the sky, monasteries hanging in the mountains and villages that seem frozen in time. A journey to Nepal and Bhutan is not just a destination, it is a deep dive into two fascinating cultures, where spirituality, untouched nature and hospitality intertwine in a unique experience.
In Nepal, you will feel the vibrant energy of Kathmandu, explore ancient temples and breathtaking landscapes. In Bhutan, known as the happiest country in the world, you will be enveloped by the serenity of its verdant valleys, colorful prayer flags in the wind and traditions that remain pure and authentic.
This is an adventure made for travelers who are looking for more than just seeing places: it's for those who want to live intense emotions, open your mind to new ways of seeing the world and keep memories forever.
If you are looking for a transformative journey, Nepal and Bhutan are waiting for you — two destinations spiritual and absolutely unforgettable.
Upon arrival at Varanasi airport, your LEVA-ME trip leader will greet you. We'll then take a group transfer to our hotel. The rest of the day will be free for rest and acclimatization. We'll take the opportunity to get to know each other and freely stroll through the charm of an ancient city full of temples, alleys, and vibrant culture.

Today we immerse ourselves in the city's essence: we visit the Swayambhunath Stupa and Durbar Square, and we ride a rickshaw through the alleys of Ason and Indrachowk. In Patan, the "city of art," we admire temples and palaces. We end the day with a relaxing session of Tibetan singing bowls. Along the way, we discover markets full of colors, aromas, and sounds that transport us to another time. We feel like true explorers in the heart of Nepal.

We discover the imposing Boudhanath Stupa, the heart of Tibetan Buddhism outside Tibet. We continue on to the sacred Pashupatinath Temple, next to the Bagmati River. Then we explore Bhaktapur, the best-preserved of the valley's medieval cities. Each location reveals ancient traditions still alive and a spiritual environment that invites reflection. It's a deep dive into the cultural and religious essence of Nepal.

Today we fly over the Himalayas on a scenic flight to Paro. Upon arrival, we'll continue by road to Thimpu, the capital of Bhutan.

From the very first moment, we sense the unique serenity of this country.

We spent the day exploring Thimpu: gazing at the enormous Dordenma Buddha statue, visiting the Zorig Chosum School of Arts, the Memorial Chorten, the National Library, the Handmade Paper Factory, and the rare Gagyel Lhundrup Weaving Center. Between tradition and modernity, we discovered a vibrant yet deeply spiritual capital. It's impossible not to be touched by the authenticity of this place.

After breakfast at the hotel, we leave the city to cross the beautiful Dochula Pass and enjoy the views of the Himalayas. We stop at the Chimi Lhakhang temple, famous for its fertility blessings. In the afternoon, we visit the magnificent Punakha Dzong, built between two sacred rivers. The route is a true visual experience, with mountains stretching as far as the eye can see. We feel the magic of Bhutan at every step of the way.

In the morning, we visit the Sangchen Dorji Lhendrup women's monastery, with breathtaking views.

This day reveals the most authentic side of Bhutan, away from the crowds. Here, we experience moments of sharing that will last forever.

We return to Paro, crossing the Dochula Pass again. We visit the 7th-century Kyichu Lhakhang Temple, one of the oldest and most sacred in Bhutan, which remains a vibrant space of prayer and devotion. The spiritual atmosphere invites contemplation and silence. It's a perfect day to experience the full Buddhist essence of this country.

Today we enjoyed one of the most iconic experiences of the trip: the hike to Taktsang Monastery, the famous "Tiger's Nest," perched on a cliff 900 meters above the valley. We had lunch with a panoramic view and then visited the Ta Dzong Museum and Rinpung Dzong. The energy of this place is simply indescribable. It's one of the greatest moments of the trip and will forever be etched in our hearts.

Transfer to the airport and flight to Kathmandu. Then, we board the international flight back home. We take with us unforgettable memories of Nepal and Bhutan, two lands that will surely transform our way of seeing the world. It's not just the end of a journey, but the beginning of new ways of feeling, thinking, and dreaming.

This trip is for people who love to have fun and make friends, regardless of age. We're sure that if you come with a relaxed mindset, you'll have an unforgettable vacation. It's important to understand that this is an adventure trip, and therefore there are always unexpected events. It's equally important to understand that you'll experience a huge culture shock in India. It's also very common for things to happen: encounters with animals you don't have at home, the internet being weak or not working, the air conditioning being broken, the shower water not having as much pressure or heat as yours, the food not being as good as your mother's, etc. But thankfully, everything is different; if it were the same, there wouldn't be any point in leaving home. Also, unfortunately, we don't promise good weather; sometimes it rains, the seas are rough, and it's important to be aware that there may be changes to the itinerary, but what would a trip be without adventure?! If you invite a friend to come on the tour, it is essential that you inform them of this information. What we don't want is a grumpy traveler who has been "dragged" by their friends, this can ruin the fun and relaxed atmosphere of the group.
Generally all the hotels from LEVA-ME are 4/5 stars. We will be staying in double/twin rooms. If you are traveling alone, you will share a room with another traveler. of the same sex (it is possible that in some situations you may have to stay in a triple room or share a double bed). If you're traveling as a couple or with a friend, you'll have your own private room.
Contact us for more information. If there's availability at all hotels, we can accommodate an additional room. You'll need to pay the single supplement. Please contact us to find out if this is possible and how much it costs.
You should only purchase your flight after paying for the tour and confirming with LEVA-ME that your reservation is finalized and the tour confirmed.
We confirm the trip when all the necessary conditions are met, including reaching the minimum number of travelers and finalizing all organizational issues (reservations, transfers, activities, etc.). Confirmation usually occurs several months before the trip, but it can take up to 20 days before the date. Once the trip is confirmed, we will send you an email so you can purchase flights and send us the flight details/schedules. If the trip is canceled for reasons beyond LEVA-ME's control, we will refund the amount paid to LEVA-ME, but we are not responsible for the flights purchased by the traveler.
Of course, most of our travelers travel alone. It's a trip to meet new people and make friends.
First of all, you will be there throughout the trip with the LEVA-ME trip leader. Then you will spend a week with other travelers, just like you have a common taste for travel, for adventure, for discovery… and who seek new emotions and unforgettable moments with this trip. Our travelers range in age from 20 to 70. We guarantee that the atmosphere is great fun and that you will end the trip with a new group of friends.
No, as there are travelers departing from various parts of the world, the group meeting point is at Varanasi airport or at the hotel.
We'll keep track of all participants' flight details and schedules. There's only one transfer from Varanasi airport to the hotel. If you're traveling on another plane and arrive at the same time or earlier than most of the group, you can wait at the airport, and we'll all be on that transfer together. If you arrive later in Varanasi, you'll have to make your own way to the hotel.
Of course, you can, but you'll be on your own until we meet at the hotel. We don't make reservations for extra nights, but we'll let you know the hotel if necessary so you can book directly.
We confirm your trip when all the necessary conditions are met, including reaching the minimum number of travelers and finalizing all organizational issues (reservations, transfers, activities, etc.). Confirmation usually occurs several months before the trip, but it can take up to 20 days before the date. It's possible that the trip is already confirmed by the time you make your reservation.
If we haven't reached the minimum number of travelers up to 20 days before the trip, we will contact you to inform you that the trip has been canceled.

First of all, you'll be with your LEVA-ME trip leader throughout the trip. You'll also be with other travelers, many of whom are solo travelers, couples, friends, family… all with a shared love of travel, adventure, and discovery… The age range is diverse, with travelers from their 20s to their 80s; everyone is welcome! We guarantee a fun atmosphere and that you'll end the trip with a new group of friends.
The vast majority of our groups are Portuguese travelers, but it is common for us to occasionally have travelers of other nationalities.
Since the tour leaders and most travelers are Portuguese speakers, Portuguese will be the preferred language. Our guides and drivers all speak some Portuguese, French, and Spanish. If you have any difficulty understanding, your tour leader can help.
The trip leader is the person who will accompany you throughout your trip, helping you enjoy your destination in a more relaxed manner. It's important to understand that a trip leader isn't a tour guide who will tell you about the history of monuments or cultural details; for this reason, we occasionally have local guides who have studied the country to answer all your questions. The trip leader's goal is to handle all the logistics so you don't have to worry about accommodations, transportation, meals, and activities. At the same time, the trip leader's role is to introduce the group to the country and its culture in general, creating a fun and respectful environment among travelers. They will be a friend who will always be available to help you if you need it.
As passionate about the world, we strive to make our travels as sustainable as possible. Whenever possible, we work with companies and hotels that have a sustainability certificate. We provide our travelers with information on how to be responsible tourists. We strive to work with small businesses and hotels to stimulate the local economy. We avoid practices that negatively impact the population or location we visit, nor do we sell activities that exploit animals.
All travelers are welcome on our trips, but if you have a health problem that limits your physical condition in any way, we recommend that you speak to us before booking so we can advise you or recommend a LEVA-ME trip that we think is more suitable.
Be over 18 years of age. Those over 16 are welcome when accompanied by their parents. The price is the same as for an adult.
No, just bring your clothes, comfortable sneakers, flip-flops and a bikini.
Of course! We don't like trips that have every minute planned out, although this is perhaps the most comprehensive one we have at LEVA-ME. Our trip will be busy, but there will also be time for you to explore on your own!
Yes, all meals are included, except for a few situations on flight days if the schedule overlaps. Vegetarian options are always available, but those with gluten and lactose intolerances will need to manage their meals based on the options.
There are no mandatory vaccinations for entry into India, with the exception of the yellow fever vaccine for passengers arriving from affected areas (which is not the case in Portugal).
Nepal is a relatively safe country to visit! However, there are a few things to keep in mind: Given the country's size and religious and cultural diversity, there's a constant possibility of inter-religious conflicts and separatism in much of the country. Therefore, special caution is recommended when traveling alone.
Pickpockets are common in tourist areas, so be extra vigilant, especially when traveling alone or in more isolated areas. Crime rates in Bhutan are low.
All seats can be reserved.
This happens because the last available seat on the trip is to share a room with another person of the same sex.
Exactly, when a trip is sold out, it's sold out. Unfortunately, we can't add any more people because we don't have any available rooms or transportation. You can always stay on the waiting list, and if anyone cancels, we'll contact you.
No. Seats are only reserved after payment has been made.
