A combo tour not for the faint-hearted. Join us as we combine two epic countries, both with incredible nature, culture, and people.
But one a bit more chaotic than the other..!
First, to the mountains. We begin our adventure in Bhutan, the tiny Himalayan kingdom where Gross National Happiness matters more than GDP, and ancient traditions live on among soaring peaks and valleys. In a country where there are no traffic lights (only polite hand-waving policemen) and where even the airport landing feels like an achievement, we'll soak up everything that makes Bhutan so magical.
Think grand fortresses (dzongs) rising from misty valleys, prayer flags flapping along mountain passes, farmers working the fields in traditional dress, and cliffside monasteries perched impossibly high above the world. We'll visit sleepy villages, walk to sacred sites, and soak up the calm cool atmosphere.
Then, just as you’ve adjusted to Bhutan's crisp mountain air, we swap the heights for the waterways, flying down into the bustling heart of Bangladesh. A country bursting with life and energy.
Here, history isn’t tucked away behind glass. It’s very much alive, vivid, and part of everyday life. We'll meet master saree weavers keeping ancient crafts alive, explore lost kingdoms, visit floating markets straight out of a storybook, and cruise through the vast Sundarbans, the world’s largest mangrove forest, home to crocodiles, river dolphins, and, if we're lucky, the elusive Royal Bengal Tiger.
Along the way, we'll stop at places you won't find in most guidebooks: a YouTube-famous village where locals have turned daily life into online stardom. Ancient monasteries once bustling with monks and scholars. And remote fishing villages where otters help fishermen bring in the day’s catch. A centuries-old tradition still quietly surviving.
This isn’t just two countries. It’s two completely different worlds.
One in the mountains, the other in the rivers. One where silence stretches across valleys, the other where life spills out into the streets, the markets, and the forests.
With Koryo Tours, we’ll connect the dots between these two unique places. Travelling slowly, meeting local communities, and experiencing the real heart of each destination.
Expect epic landscapes, surprising encounters, a few bumpy roads, and a lot of great stories to take home.
