Nepali infrastructure is still returning to normal after the 2015 earthquake, so some delays are inevitable. Embracing the slow pace and meditative atmosphere will go a long way toward your enjoyment of this beautiful country., Prepare for some drives over narrow, winding roads. The drive from Pokhara to Chitwan is on very windy roads. You’ll be driving up and down mountains and there will be a lot of corners, so don't forget to buckle up. In Bhutan, short distances can take much longer to cover due to small, narrow roads and mountain passes. Motion sickness can be an issue on longer driving days on windy roads., A moderate fitness level is required for the hike in Pokhara and walks in Chitwan National Park. The hike to Tiger’s Nest can also be strenuous. The trek can take up to 5 hours and reach an altitude of 3120 m., Due to the high altitude of the places we visit in Bhutan, some people can suffer altitude sickness, regardless of age, gender or fitness. It even happened to Sir Edmund Hillary!
