Nepal, nestled in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, boasts a diverse terrain, ranging from the towering Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, to lowland tropical plains. It is a popular destination for mountaineering, hiking, and cultural exploration. The capital, Kathmandu, boasts several UNESCO World Heritage sites, including Durbar Square, Pashupatinath Temple, and Swayambhu, blending Hindu and Buddhist cultures. Bhutan, a small, landlocked country that prioritizes environmental protection, is renowned for its preservation of traditional culture and its high Gross National Happiness Index. The capital, Thimphu, and the ancient city of Paro retain intact dzong architecture, and the renowned Tiger's Nest Monastery, perched atop a cliff, is a landmark of Bhutan. Although the two countries share a common border, their entry policies and travel experiences differ significantly. Nepal offers greater freedom and relatively affordable travel, while Bhutan adopts a high-end, limited-quota tourism model, attracting travelers seeking unique and tranquil experiences.
