Taking a Nepal Tibet Bhutan tour, necessary documents include Nepal Visa, Chinese Visa, Bhutan Visa and Tibet Travel Permit. If you travel from Nepal to Tibet, you have to prepare Tibet Group Visa (instead of Chinese Visa) and Border Pass as well.

At present, travelers are unable to transfer between Tibet and Bhutan directly, and the best way is to use Nepal as a transit. Nonstop flights and overland driving are both available to take you to travel between Nepal and Tibet. It is highly recommended to spend about four days to drive overland to Kathmandu from Lhasa via Mount Everest because the scenery on road is really worthwhile. There are daily flights between Nepal and Bhutan, which take about only one hour. The flying journey between Kathmandu (Nepal) and Paro (Bhutan) is such a pleasant journey that you can enjoy the magnificent Himalaya views.
The best time for a Nepal Tibet Bhutan tour are March ~ May & September ~ October. Both Nepal and Bhutan enjoys sub-tropical climates with four distinct seasons- warm spring, rainy summer, humid autumn and dry winter, so travelers are not suggested to visit Nepal and Bhutan in summer (July ~ August), or you may suffer the heavy rain. Though winter is not too cold in Nepal and Bhutan, but it is not a good time to visit Tibet unless you only travel to Lhasa and Shigatse. In the winter when the temperature falls below zero, the road to Namtso Lake, Mount Everest and Mount Kailash might be frozen and dangerous for driving.
Major cities like Lhasa, Kathmandu, Pokhara, Paro, Thimphu and Punakha are able to provide perfect luxury hotels with good locations, spacious rooms, delicately-equipped facilities, western breakfast and superior service. However, some other remote places may not have real hotel, but guest houses or tents. In Mount Everest and Ngari, the accommodation is really basic. There will not be accessible Wi-Fi or air-condition. Moreover, there might be no steady supply of hot water and electricity. If you plan a trekking, the accommodation is also simple, and sometimes you need to share a room with others.
