We have produced comprehensive country guides for Nepal and Bhutan along with a number of other useful travel features below. In each country guide we have included sections like a brief history, current security situation, weather, tourist highlights as well as other general information. These features are designed to give you some useful information about the country you are planning to visit and to help you get the most out of your Nepal Uncovered tour.
