Trip Introduction

Take this Nepal and Bhutan Tour and visit two Himalayan nations - Nepal and Bhutan - renowned for their dramatic landscapes, outstanding mountain views, generous hospitality and fascinating culture. Discover the cultural riches of these two Himalayan destinations.

This unforgettable Nepal and Bhutan Tour will let you experience unique customs and traditions that have remained untouched by modernity. Explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites and step inside sacred temples and monasteries. Gain insight into the vibrant spiritual traditions. For centuries outsiders were forbidden to enter these two Himalayan kingdoms.

Nepal opened its doors to outsiders during the late 1960s, tourism in Bhutan was introduced only in the mid-1970s. Following a strict policy of sustainable tourism to safeguard its environment and culture, Bhutan allows only a handful of tourists to visit the country each year. Embark on an unforgettable journey and explore Bhutan and Nepal. In less than ten days you will get to experience the major highlights of these two fascinating destinations.   

Your Nepal and Bhutan Tour begins from Kathmandu. Stroll down the cobbled streets of a medieval palace square- Patan Durbar Square, filled with ancient temples and pagoda-roofed palaces. Witness the religious fervor of the devotees and mysticism at two of the most important sacred sites in Nepal - Boudhanath and Pashupatinath Temple.

Get mesmerized by the endless stretch of snow-covered Himalayan peaks as you fly into Paro, Bhutan. Explore the ‘Land of the Thunder Dragon’. Walk through its centuries-old dzongs (fortresses) and monasteries. Visit ancient lakhangs (Buddhist temples) and palaces. Interact with the friendly locals and seek blessings from the learned monks. Your Bhutan visit ends with an epic hike to Tigers' Nest monastery.

Before you finally head home, you sample more of Kathmandu’s cultural delights. Discover medieval Bhaktapur, Panauti and Sanga. Wind up your Nepal and Bhutan Tour with an unforgettable hike down the forested trail of Nagarkot to Changu Narayan, one of the oldest Hindu temples in the world.

Lifetime Memories
I did this Nepal Bhutan tour with Third Rock in February 2020. Bhutan is a beautiful country beyond words. It seems that tradition and culture for Bhutanese are a way of life than a part of life. If you wish to get a unique experience then visiting Bhutan is a must; culture and hospitality are amazing. Can’t gush enough about Bhutan’s overwhelming architecture! Bhutan is covered in green forests; you can see greenery everywhere. I battled with air pollution in Kathmandu while it felt like a privilege to breathe in the fresh air of Bhutan. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my stay at Nagarcoat near Kathmandu, and the sunrise from Nagarkot was breathtaking. A durbar square of Kathmandu, Poushpati, and Buddhnath deserve special mention.

Perfect trip to Nepal and Bhutan
We had such a great time in Nepal and Bhutan. It is a fascinating experience with beautiful scenery everywhere you look. The tour was well organized by Third Rock Adventures. Our guide had us lol from the moment we met and our driver was a very reassuring company. We explored cultural sites as well as got a chance to feel the traditional ambiance of both countries. Nepal and Bhutan were the must-visit places in one's life. We felt that it was not enough time to explore these beautiful countries so we decided to do another trip very soon with these guys.
Highly recommended.

An awesome trip in Himalayas
Words won’t do justice to my awesome experience in Bhutan and Nepal, however, I will try. Bhutan has been in my bucket list for a long time and the mystical country in the Himalayas left me mesmerized. You can feel their deep-rooted culture in every aspect of Bhutan. Hike to Tiger’s Nest perched in a hill is a must and trust me you will be in awe of its beauty! Dzongs are Bhutan’s architectural delight and it’s colorful. I saw monks in red monks near monasteries, happy children and warm locals. We live in a time where you need to make time for others, here I felt special as warm locals made me feel welcomed and special. I had fun on the winding roads of Bhutan. I think more people should talk about the amazing car journey in Bhutan; well it’s surely not for those with motion sickness. Our driver Doorjee did an amazing job and our tour guide was very informative. It was fun to walk on the busy streets of Kathmandu while Nagarkot was a stark different- peaceful. It was perfect to unwind and end the trip in the hilltop settlement. It is said you can spot Everest from Nagarkot; not kidding. Third Rock team was very responsive from the beginning couldn’t have asked for a more accommodating company than this one.

A review for our Bhutan Nepal tour, back in 2019. We asked Naba if we could review and help other travelers know more about the trip and the company. First of all, we are heartedly thankful to Third Rock for their wonderful opportunity offered to us and their great services. We were more than satisfied. Glad that the company offers full-services- great food, comfy rooms and qualified guides. Everyone at the company was friendly and helpful. The travel consultant assigned to me was really good at communicating. He responded to my emails timely and attentively. Overall, the trip was fantastic.

Great Experience. No words to explain our experience and Third Rock's service. We never had to ask for anything. Everything was done at right time and perfectly. From replying to our emails to booking flights and rooms, they did their best. We were really impressed at how they operate such big trips. We were worried at first but after knowing their professionalism and operation, we were surprised. They are a Nepali travel agency but has international service level and quality.

Had a fantastic tour! We never anticipated having enjoyed this much. Never thought that a simple tour would be more than an adventure. We were always trekking and this time did multi-country tour.. and surprisingly enjoyed it a lot. Thanks, Third Rock for your great service. We have no words to be thankful for. We are extremely happy that we chose this trek and you. We will soon visit Nepal for our next adventure.

Best Nepal Bhutan Trip
Wonderful Wonderful Trip. My wife still thanks me for taking her to Nepal and Bhutan. She loved the trip and enjoyed every second. We had superb experience. The people were fantastic. Never had I ever felt that amazing. Bhutan is truly a beautiful country and Nepal. Above all, Third Rock managed everything perfectly. I asked if we could change the itinerary, to which they even customized perfect itinerary. My wife was happy at the way they responded the email promptly. Everything was great. We are grateful to them for this great experience. Lots of love from us and we wish them the brightest days in their business.

Amazing experience of Nepal and Bhutan tour
Our trip to Nepal and Bhutan was wonderfully organized by Third Rock Adventures from beginning to the happy ending. We loved both the country, their natural, cultural and traditional ambience during our tour. We're so happy that we were able to do the tour of major highlights in both the countries at a time. All the team members, guides and drivers were very responsive and trustworthy with all my requests while planning and during our trip. They exceeded our expectations with extra special gifts and over the top kindness. Our guide and driver were very professional, knowledgeable and accommodated all our daily crazy requests. We were impressed with the experience gained from this tour. Highly recommended.

A tour to beautiful country Nepal and Bhutan
Enjoyed exploring and learning about Nepal's and Bhutan's history and culture. A private tour with excellent guides that were extremely attentive to our every need, and fun to spend time with. Wonderful fresh food, even though it was most often served at a hotel buffet style. The entire trip went as we planned and we appreciate the organization skills of Third Rock Adventures. We also did some hiking both in Nepal and Bhutan to see the landmarks as per the itinerary. Great way to get some exercise because most of the trip was being driven from site to site. All communication with the company before the trip was prompt and professional. Highly recommended.

Wonderful trip
We had a wonderful time in Bhutan. All thanks to Third Rock for their world-class travel services. For me, Third Rock exceled at what we expected. Surprisingly, they are a Nepali travel agency. Mr. Naba answered all my questions, about visas, permits, driving, gears, customs and everything. The guide they hired for me was a wonderful human, he was caring, friendly and experienced. He literally knew everything. He instantly answered all my questions. Everything was well managed. Thanks again.

Memorable trip to Nepal and Bhutan
My wife and I traveled to two beautiful countries, Nepal and Bhutan with Third Rock. Our trip was customized, Mr. Naba was fantastic. He checked everything before we arrived in Nepal and made sure the operation handled smoothly. He was connected to the Bhutan agent every day to ensure that we enjoyed our trip. Our Nepal and Bhutan guides were attentive and knowledgeable. They were always concerned about our safety and satisfaction and that makes Third Rock stand out among every other travel agency. I cannot thank them more. I really appreciate their efforts to make our trip one of the best trips of our life.
Highly Recommended travel company.

Nepal Bhutan Tour with family
Family vacation in Bhutan with Third Rock Adventures. We had a great time. Timely response from the team and good communication. Since we were travelling with kids it was good to know that we had a flexible itinerary. It was raining hard the day we were supposed to do the Nagarkot hiking and we had to cancel it. Since our kids are too active to remain cooped up for long, Naba suggested we take them wall climbing at a nearby wall climbing centre that was close to our hotel. The kids thoroughly enjoyed it and we did it too. It was an afternoon well spent. We did not have good weather in Kathmandu, but we were fortunate enough to enjoy clear weather in Bhutan. Bhutan was all that we dreamt of and more – green, serene, spiritually and culturally rich; a true Himalayan gem. We haven’t had enough of both Bhutan and Nepal and we will surely be back for more. We are already planning our Ghorepani trek and Bhutan festival tour with Third Rock. A word of thanks to our dear guides Deepa and Tenzing. They were knowledgeable as well as patient with our hyperactive kids (aged 7 and 9).
Book your Bhutan flight tickets in advance. it is very difficult to get a ticket during high season.

A memorable trip to Nepal and Bhutan
This was Third Rock Adventures and their team in both countries who organized our trip to Nepal and Bhutan. They included visits to all the must-see sights as per the itinerary. We enjoyed visiting the oldest market in Kathmandu and included a flight to see the Himalayan mountain range including Mt. Everest! Thanks to our tour guide who was full of information and history of this area. The guide and driver in Bhutan were also professional and friendly. They took us around all the sites as mentioned and let us explore at our pace. Thank your entire team for this wonderful trip.

Bestest Tour- Spiritual and Magical
This tour is irreplaceable- Nepal and Bhutan are the two of the most beautiful Himalayan Country in the world. The name intrigued me and I researched for a day, watched video on YouTube and my excitement reached no bound, I could not wait another day, so I started searching for Nepal based Travel Agency and landed to the page of Third Rock Adventures and I am absolutely glad I chosed them. I have to talk about them , that's the least I can do here. I must say their service are professional, from guide to consultant to the president- everyone are professional. There is no room for improvement. Every day I was taken care, the guides were attentive and caring. My meals were delicious and timely. All I did was enjoy my walk through the magical Bhutan and heavenly Nepal. The moutains, culture and people of these two countries amazed me. I want to do one more trip to Nepal and Bhutan and without a doubt, I will be with Third Rock Adventures, you know it well, first impression is last impression.
I loved both the country and wanted to explore it.
The heart-warming people and their enticing culture.

Fantastic Trip
This is a review of my trip in 2019. I and my brother visited Bhutan and Nepal with Third Rock. We were excited about these two Asian countries after we watched a vlog on YouTube. We contacted Third Rock and booked a trip for us. They offered us affordable cost and best service. The food were fantastic, the rooms were great and our tour guide was amazing. He has all the knowledge about these two countries. We learned a lot, a lot. Thanks to him. Mr. Naba in Nepal met us and arranged everything on time. Our itinerary was solid and perfect. Thanks to Third Rock.

Beautiful Bhutan and Wonderful Nepal.
Me and one of my friends went to Bhutan and Nepal for a vacation. We wanted to visit these two beautiful Asian countries. We came to know about this trip on Instagram. We discussed for days and decided to go. Sadly, my friend had to complete her project, and our trip got postponed for a month. But that gave me time to research more about the trip and the company for the trip. Luckily we found Third Rock. I was amazed to see their reviews and profile. Upon contacting them, Mr. Naba connected with us. He was really amazing. We talked for hours, and without a doubt, we were impressed. He cleared all our doubts, and promised us the best, and guess what he did it. His team are the best. The tour guide, the driver, the travel consultant and Bhutan agency, everyone did their best job. We wanted some free time to soak up the beauty, the guide allowed us. At one time, we asked if we could add places, and they granted it. How cool is that! Mr. Naba contacted us time and again, to ensure that our trip was going great. We highly recommend this travel agency. We hope to explore the Himalayas of Nepal soon. My other friends are planning for ABC, and we will hire them again.

A tour to Nepal and Bhutan
I was planning a trip to Nepal and Bhutan and it was indeed a blessing in disguise to come across this travel company 'Third Rock Adventures'. Upon reaching Nepal I was received by our guide Dipesh. The driver was helpful and his driving skills was smooth. I appreciate the knowledge, communication skills, and insights of the guide. The same case in Bhutan as well, the guide received us and they showed us the places as planned in the itinerary. Very friendly and happy people of Bhutan. The tour was well planned and the hospitality of the people there was so wonderful and welcoming. The scenic beauty of both the country is immeasurably breathtaking. My trip to Nepal and Bhutan planned by this company was a great start to the year. I appreciate the efforts made by all staff in making our trip a success story. Thank you.

A trip of lifetime; Nepal and Bhutan
Our tour to Nepal and Bhutan was organized by Third Rock Adventures. They provided guide and drivers who made our trip personal to our needs. Every other service from food , accommodation and other related things were very much well organized in both the country. Guides and drivers both were experienced and professional. Safe driving, flexibility, warmth and care for our needs from the very beginning of the tri in Kathmandu all the way through Bhutan and back to Kathmandu for our final departure. Wonderful lodging, cultural and natural sites to visit and excellent restaurants. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed the Nepal and Bhutan tour
Our visit to Nepal and Bhutan began from Kathmandu taking us to the major attractions. The tradition and culture of the Kathmandu and nearby city was awesome. In Bhutan we found the people were really happy and welcoming. We got really nice guides and driver in both the countries. They made our trip even more special with their hospitality. They were friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this company for others willing to travel in Nepal and Bhutan.

The tour to Nepal and Bhutan was wonderful
Our Nepal and Bhutan tour with Third Rock Adventures was wonderfully organised. We have absolutely nothing to comment apart from giving them praise. The hotels that were proposed were perfect, not luxurious but they all gave us a taste of Nepal and Bhutan. All hotels were comfortable and all were clean with properly equipped pleasant rooms. We loved the local experiences in both the country during our tour. The trip in general focused the cultural and traditional values of Nepal and Bhutan. Our guides and drivers were comfortable with any requests we would make. Thank you.

One of the best holidays I have ever had - Nepal-Bhutan Tour
I undertook the Jewels of Nepal and Bhutan Tour with Third Rock Adventures five months ago. I had been meaning to post a review but I was kept rather busy, until now. From the moment I arrived in Kathmandu to the moment my trip ended, the team took very good care of me. The initial email communications were prompt and precise. As I am not too good with computers (I hardly use them), I had some issues booking the trip online. But Hari ironed out the problems and made the process very easy for me. Kemal introduced me to some of the oldest Hindu and Buddhist temples in Kathmandu. I found the Nepalese very friendly and open. In the west, strangers hardly make eye contact, but in Nepal it is not uncommon for virtual strangers to meet and talk like long lost friends. I met strangers who offered their help (when I suffered from a nasty fall while on a late evening stroll alone) without asking anything in return. Bhutan was lovely and peaceful. Ogyen, my guide had a wealth of information to share. The hike to Tiger’s Monastery left me huffing and puffing, but the views more than made up for the hard climb. It is hard to believe that this monastery, which lies straddled on a huge rock face, was built by humans. Faith does move mountains and this seems to particularly true in this part of the world. Bhutanese culture is very unique and I felt privileged to have the opportunity to experience it. I do hope that the Bhutanese people will retain their culture and not let western influence change their perspective. I highly recommend this tour and look forward to many more journeys with Third Rock Adventures.
Good Value,

Because I wanted to go where I have never been to.

A series of wonderful memories
I cannot thank the team of Third Rock Adventure enough for making my trip of Nepal and Bhutan series of wonderful memories for a lifetime. It was one of the companies that I sent inquiry during my research period of this trip. It kept up with my busy schedules with several follow up emails. After a few exchanges of emails and the phone call I felt the company can be trusted enough to go on an organized tour with them. The company was knowledgeable and provided us with detailed itinerary as well. The travel expert answered my queries and promised that the trip would be as promised; it was indeed. I always wanted to visit Nepal and Bhutan but my partner isn’t too keen about the Himalayas. So if you ask me why it took so long to visit then, you know now! I am glad that she enjoyed as much as I did. My partner didn’t believe that Nepal is much more than “trekker’s paradise” until she saw Nepal’s rich culture and tradition. Lucky to see a breathtaking sunrise from Nagacot, thanks to the pouring rain of previous night. We skipped the hike to one of the oldest temples of Nepal. In Bhutan sky is bluer, air is cleaner, forest is denser and ambience is spiritual. An architectural delight, temples dedicated to Buddhist masters and extremely warm and a bit shy people. Was stunned when our guide said the dzong was built with wooden block not a single nail used! I enjoyed the stayed at good hotels both in Nepal and Bhutan. I am not a finicky eater but my partner is and she didn’t like food in Bhutan much. Talking about the drivers of Nepal and Bhutan they were very skilled. In Nepal, our driver took us through the chaotic traffic which was, to be honest overwhelming. I don’t know how they drive in the capital city, Kathmandu. Ride to Baktapour was fun though. Talking about the roads of Bhutan, there wasn’t traffic but the sharp turns and winding roads are fun. My initial panic subsided when I realized I was in able hands. The vehicles are way better in Bhutan than Nepal. Touring with a local company is a hit and miss but this one is definitely a HIT!
Good Value,I like itinerary,

Always wanted to hike to Tiger’s Nest with her and it was an amazing hike. Made many memories but this was the most special one.

Delightful experience
Bhutan is a place where happiness is given priority. Tradition and culture aren’t simply followed but celebrated. Nature remains un-spoilt and isn’t overcrowded with tourist. In today’s time, when being busy is in trend and social media shows ‘how happening is your life?’. You see these people happy in small things of life; people, culture, and nature really impacted me. The cultural heritages of Nepal are fascinating and their craftsmanship is amazing. A few kilometers from the hustle and bustle of the city you feel like you are in a different palace. A stunning sunrise from Nagarkot and we hiked too. Warm hospitality. Overall an awesome experience.
If you are planning to visit Bhutan and Nepal then don’t delay any further…. it will be an experience to cherish!!!

Nepal and Bhutan tour
I've always wanted to visit the two Himalayan nations Nepal and Bhutan. Found the perfect itinerary on their website, booked it and flew to Nepal this spring. After two days, flew to Paro and then to Thimpu and Punakha. Paro was my favorite as I get to hike to Tiger Monastery. Nepal was equally beautiful with gigantic mountains, much higher and bigger then what we have in Germany. The road conditions were a little bad but the people were the best along with food. Everything was arranged perfectly and i am very satisfied with the overall service given

Incredible Bhutan Nepal tour
The medieval temples of Nepal are a treat to visit. I like to watch sunrises and the one from Nagarkot was a sight to behold. Bhutan is expensive agreed but it’s worth it!!! Bhutan is still so unscathed. People are really nice and warm. Locals wear their traditional dresses and more than that they treasure their culture. The roads with sharp turns were a thrill in itself. You wouldn’t find any traffic lights in the city and it doesn’t have any famous fast food chains like Pizza Hut or KFC or others. It’s a different world a better one where happiness is given a priority. Amidst the hustle and bustle of my life, I shall remember the peace and tranquility of Bhutan. Leaving these beautiful countries with a heart full of beautiful memories and want to thank Third Rock Adventures for handling this tour so well!

Trip of Nepal and Bhutan
I was surprised by the amazing and personalized experience with Third Rock Adventures! We did quite some research beforehand to find the right travel agency, and we definitely made the right choice! Our guides in both country were very nice who took us on (unexpected) nice hikes, tours and patiently explained us so much about the history, culture, religion etc. He went out of his way to make us comfortable (e.g. getting nice breakfast in stead of the hotel breakfast that we didn't really like the one in Bhutan but Nepal it was ok. Our visit began and ended from Kathmandu with visits to many iconic places. Thanks to the team who made our trip unforgettable.

Best experience of Nepal Bhutan tour
We did Nepal and Bhutan tour with Third Rock Adventures. Everything about this trip was well-organised, efficient and professional. Organising, changing details and paying for the trip was easy with prompt email replies and confirmations. The visa and hotel information arrived a few days before it was scheduled to and the online traveller portal contained a wealth of important details in one place. In both the countries, the trip was magical and we found no fault with the guides, vehicles or accommodation. We got to experience the vivid culture and tradition of Nepal and Bhutan at a time. We thank you everyone who helped us make this trip a lifetime memory.

Nepal and Bhutan tour
I did a lot of research to find the best tour company possible for my long-planned tour to Nepal and Bhutan. I realized that Third Rock Adventures was very resourceful and accommodating in helping me set up an itinerary and arranging my trip plans accordingly. I arrived and departed from Kathmandu but did a Bhutan tour in the middle of my stay in Nepal. 4 nights in Nepal and 4 nights in Bhutan, perfect combination of culture, tradition and nature during the trip in Nepal and Bhutan. I visited various attractions in Paro, Thimphu, and Punakha, including the famous Tiger’s Nest. I also had the chance to attend the Masked Dance Festival in Punakha. The rooms were clean and the food was delicious throughout my trip! A special thanks also go out to my tour guide and driver for teaching me about the country's rich history and culture. Everything from the beginning to the end was arranged with perfection. Thank you everyone for making my trip one of the best memory of my life.

We did a 9 day Nepal and Bhutan tour with Third Rock Adventures. Our guide and driver were marvelous - attentive, patient & informative. They allowed us with plenty of time in between the routes to take beautiful pictures. We did a wonderful tour of Kathmandu valley with Nagarkot and Bhaktapur. In Bhutan we covered major highlights like Paro, Thimphu and Punakha. The views, cultural ambience and the landscape was just magical! Had a clear view of the majestic Himalayas. This definitely is a must do trip which i would recommend to everyone.

Nepal and Bhutan tour was amazing
We just completed a 9 day trip to Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Nagarkot, Thimphu, Punakha and Paro with Third Rock Adventures. From the time I reached out to Nabin for an inquiry to the end of our tour, everything was hassle-free and seamless. Nabin was very responsive to all my queries and helped us make the bookings very quickly. Once we got to Nepal, we were picked up by our guide and our driver. Both were wonderful and took excellent care of us during our trip. Dipesh took us on some wonderful hikes - some of which were so quiet that we did not pass a single person on the trail! He also took us to some wonderful monasteries and patiently explained the historical and religious significance of the sites. He also gave us very good insight into the culture of Nepal. Same in Bhutan as well, we were treated as a highly valuable person and taken around for the tour of highlights. We enjoyed the tour and would like to recommend for this service to others who are planning to visit Nepal or Bhutan. Thank you.

The best Himalayan experience Nepal and Bhutan Tour
It was my privilege and honor to have a wonderful vacation in the Himalayan capitals of the world. I embarked on this journey with high hopes and at the end of the of it, i came back much more satisfied, awestruck and mesmerized. Back home we live in a world where there is cut-throat competition, in Nepal and Bhutan, all I saw was smiles and pure natural beauty. No worries, no tension, such wonderful laid back perspective towards life. No wonder these are the happiest nations in the world. I think I'll retire here. I am definitely coming back.

A taste of Himalayan hospitality, culture and amazing mountain views
We (my wife and I) plan to tour the whole of Asia in the next couple of months. So far we have visited almost all the countries in south-east Asia and now are exploring south Asia. We recently visited Nepal and Bhutan and enjoyed our tour immensely. As we are in our late sixties we find it easier to book an organized tour with an agency instead of going through the hassle of arranging everything ourselves. We booked our Nepal Bhutan tour with Third Rock Adventures. We wanted a customized itinerary and the staff at Third Rock Adventures worked with us closely to plan our perfect tour. We made a lot of changes in the itinerary and the sales staff were patient and gracious enough to incorporate all the changes. They also had some good suggestions up their sleeves. Kathmandu was chaotic but we loved the ambience of the city, which is a mix of both modern and traditional. We visited the Monkey Temple (Swoyambhunath), Boudhanth and Patan Durbar Square. All these places had an old world feel. Bhutan was like a wonderland. It is commendable how the Bhutanese are trying to preserve the environment and traditional culture. We enjoyed our visits to the old palaces, fortresses, and monasteries. It was a different experience and we loved it totally. Though we had viewed a lot of youtube videos on the Tiger’s Nest hike, doing this by ourselves had a different feeling. It was exhilarating to stand next to the monastery that was precariously hanging on to a rocky cliff. The views were magnificent. We would like to thank Third rock Adventures and all our guides for making this trip such a memorable one. As the guides were locals they had so much local information to share with us, information that we do not get to read in guidebooks. The stories and legends that they shared opened our eyes and gave us a better understanding of the local culture. We highly recommend this company and its guides.
Because we wanted to book a tour to Nepal and Bhutan tour with the same agency, and Third Rock Adventures seemed like a reliable company.
Yes.
We chose this trip because we are interested in Asian culture and wanted to visit Bhutan and Nepal.
The whole trip was memorable.
Nepal and Bhutan are two destinations that will leave a deep impression on your mind and heart, once you visit these two countries. I also recommend Third Rock Adventures for cross-country travel!
