Honeymoon inMid-May decision help please

Hello,





My fiancee and I will be getting married May 10th in Japan (she is Japanese). From there we want to go somewhere special for our honeymoon.





I know this is far from a simple question but we have narrowed it down (I think)to Bhutan, Mongolia, Nepal or Tibet. One caveat is that we have to catch a flight back to the US from Japan on May 20th.





We are not tour group, ';Let%26#39;s shuffle off to the next significant place'; type of people. Culture, people, some hiking, time to soak it in are more apt descriptions.





Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Concerned about weather and getting caught in a regimented, robotic tour.





Thanks in advance,



Bruce

Hi Bruce,





With the destinations you listed, I suggest Bhutan. Amount Asian travelers, Japanese have most interest in this country. Also, if you two like culture, nature, tracking, art, weaving etc, go to Bhutan. Out of the most, I like the people their, so lovely!





Have a nice trip !

Hello,



Bhutan is definively a very special place. Although you have to arrange a prepaid tour, you can make it exactly as you want. There are no preplanned grouptours, just everyone makes his own itinary with a local agent. So you can fix it within the dates between your flights.The agent organises also your flight into Bhutan and back.



As done lots of times before, I warmly recommend the person we travelled with, and plan to do another trip next month: Nirvanaexpeditions.



Just let them know what you%26#39;d like to see and do, when, and they%26#39;ll build your personal itinary.Write to:Sonam.dorjee@nirvanaexpeditions.com



Congratulations on your marriage! M.




Another flexible outfitter is Village Tours and Treks. www.villagetoursandtreks.com They will customize a trip for you ... just fill out a form. I have traveled with them in the past and love Bhutan!




Hi, congrats. My husband and I went to Bhutan and Nepal last year in May. We spent 6 days in Bhutan. We used Bhutan Scenic Tours. I actually hate tours and like to travel independently. Our guide was great, they used good vehicles and we were alone everywhere we went. We ate at restaurants most of the time (as opposed to buffet dinners at hotels). We loved the scenery and the people. One caveat, some of the hotels included in the package are not that great, and not romantic. so we actually paid extra to stay at the zhiwaling in paro (very nice). There are aman resorts everywhere, which i am sure are nice but super expensive. If you can stay at better hotels in punakha that would be good too because the hotel owned by the princess there is horrible. Anyway Bhutan is great, not touristy, beautiful and memorable. You wont regret it. Here is the website for the tour co we used.
