You step out of Tribhuvan Airport into a wash of diesel and incense; Kathmandu presses close with temple bells and prayer flags snapping overhead.

Moderate fitness recommended: able to handle long travel days, short hikes, and progressive altitude gain.
Yes—Tibet travel permits and a Bhutan visa are required; this tour includes handling of those documents through the operator, but you must provide passport details in advance.
Possibly—sections of the itinerary cross high elevations; slow pacing, hydration, and rest days reduce risk, and the tour flags that it isn’t recommended for people with serious heart issues.
Mostly short walks between sites and light hikes near viewpoints; it isn’t a technical trek, but uneven terrain and stairs at monasteries are common.
The itinerary includes several short flights (Kathmandu–Lhasa, Nepal–Bhutan) and long overland drives; expect early departures and occasional schedule changes due to weather.
The route crosses zones shaped by centuries of Himalayan trade, Tibetan Buddhist monasticism, and the modern geopolitics that opened controlled corridors between Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan.
Tourism in Bhutan is regulated by a daily fee system to limit impact; in Tibet and Nepal, stick to marked routes and avoid disturbing fragile alpine vegetation and cultural sites.
