Cross-border travel with your dog is a massive logistical challenge, but it is entirely possible. I have navigated the permits, the border checkpoints, and the pet-friendly culture of the Himalayas so you can focus on the adventure.

The moment we entered the Royal Kingdom of Bhutan. The dogs were allowed to chill with us in the immigration office while we completed our paperwork.

A dream come true. We finally celebrated Kukur Tihar, the festival of dogs, in Nepal. It was a beautiful experience to formally honor my dogs in a country that worships them.

We were so moved when the priest at Muktinath Temple in Nepal came out to bless the dogs. It felt like an early Kukur Tihar celebration at a holy site.

I was so happy to see this community dog relaxing inside a restaurant in Nepal. It’s a wonderful example of the pet-friendly culture we encountered.

A montage of our 30-day trip across Nepal, from the waters of Begnas Lake to the mountains of Mustang. I can help you plan a similar extended international trip.

Finding the perfect vacation spot for your dog is an amazing feeling. The green pastures of Phobjika Valley in Bhutan are a paradise I can't wait to bring my dogs back to.

We found this stunning pet-friendly waterfall cafe in Bhutan. A major part of my travel coaching is doing the research to find gems like this for you and your dog.

A throwback to our Kanyakumari to Kashmir trip, which included a serene Shikara ride on Dal Lake in Srinagar. This shows that even touristy activities can be dog-friendly.

About International Diaries: Adventures in Nepal & Bhutan

Crossing an international border with a dog requires more than just a standard health certificate. You need a verified roadmap for rabies titers, specific microchip certifications, and, in some cases, pre-approved import permits to avoid quarantine. I have handled the paperwork for Nepal and Bhutan myself, and I help you prepare the documentation file before you even reach the border.

I’m Deepthi, and my dogs Vanilla and Coco are my travel partners. We have done the road trips to the Himalayas and crossed borders, dealing with the paperwork and the logistics firsthand. If you want to take your dog with you, I am here to guide you through the process, from the first vaccine to the final border check.
