A 7-Day, 6-Night (7D6N) Nepal Neykor by bus from Bhutan is a fast-paced, budget-friendly pilgrimage. Because traveling entirely by road requires crossing the Indian border plains, two full days are spent purely on transit. The rest of the journey focuses intensively on the most sacred Buddhist sites within the Kathmandu Valley. This overland journey typically departs from border towns like Phuentsholing, transiting through India via Kakarbhitta to reach Nepal.
