Can you imagine ending the year among Buddhist temples, Himalayan mountains and Sherpa villages, or watching the sun rise over the Annapurnas?
For this New Year 2026 We have four options for travel to Nepal and Bhutan, all departing 26 December and duration of 11 days.
In autumn, the weather is ideal for trekking, with warm but comfortable days and clear skies offering spectacular mountain views. The low chance of snow makes this a perfect season to explore the Himalayas. The changing landscapes create impressive scenery for hikers, while the cleaner air makes trekking even more enjoyable.
Choosing when to visit Nepal can turn a good trip into an unforgettable one. The weather varies considerably with the seasons, especially if you are planning one of our treks to enjoy views of the Himalayas.
For many, autumn (Oct–Nov) is the best time to visit Nepal, with stable weather and clear skies.
Can you imagine walking among 8,000 m mountains without embarking on a demanding trek?
We suggest a trip to Nepal which includes a four-day walk in the Annapurna region, with extraordinary views of Himalayan giants (Annapurna, Machapuchare…) and an accessible trail through villages in the Pokhara region among bamboo and rhododendron forests.
This legendary route will introduce us, guided by a Spanish-speaking guide with expert knowledge of Tibet, the regions of Yunnan and Sichuan. Two regions of China home to almost half of the country’s ethnic groups, and which for thousands of years enabled the trade of tea carried by the legendary Tibetan horses.
This route presents no particular difficulties, apart from any discomfort caused by the altitude.
As the saying goes, September is the month for the rich, but perhaps October is one of our favourite months for travel. As autumn begins, many of our destinations take on distinctive colours, displaying shades you will not see at other times of year.
For those lucky enough to travel in October, visitors even seem to receive better treatment, with fewer people queuing and fewer visitors at the main attractions.
With the arrival of autumn the trekking season in the Himalayas and northern Southeast Asia welcomes the end of the monsoons and the arrival of winter. In South America, it is an ideal time to travel, similar to our month of June, with few visitors and more affordable prices at the main tourist attractions.

The stages of this trek follow the “teahouse” trails, used by local people, through forests of bamboo and rhododendrons. This trip to Nepal is rounded off with visits to Pokhara, the valley of Kathmandu, National Park of Chitwan and the city where Buddha was born, Lumbini.
On this trip to Peru, we set off from Arequipa and begins the journey towards the Colca Canyon that continues to the lake Titicaca for overnight stays on the Peninsula of Capachica. The route continues through the Andes to Cuzco and the Sacred Valley, for ascend to Machu Picchu.
We started the trip in Yangon, the main city of Myanmar and we will fly to the religious Mandalay. From there we will sail towards Bagan to admire the plain of the 2000 temples and fly to the Lake Inle. We cross the lake and the mountains to reach a region recently opened to tourism, Loikaw and visits to its Kayah and Kayan ethnic minorities.
A trip to Italy to the east of Sicily and the islands of Stromboli, Vulcano and Lipari. A combination of spectacular walks in a Mediterranean setting and an introduction to volcanic phenomena and archaeological remains Greeks, Romans and Byzantines.
An intensive, active trip to Vietnam, seeking out rural villages in the Sapa mountains and on An Binh Island in the middle of the delta, combined with visits to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. The journey ends in Cambodia, in the temples of Angkor. For those who want to end the trip on the beach, these days can be replaced with a stay on the peaceful tropical island of Phu Quoc.
People often ask us about our favourite destination or the most beautiful place we have visited. The world is vast, full of wonderful, well-known attractions, but our favourite places are those that sometimes go unnoticed. Each is special for a reason: its setting, landscapes, ethnic groups, wildlife, activities, festivals or religions. The images in this post show 15 places to visit at least once in a lifetime
