Embark on an immersive 7-day, 6-night journey to the mystical Kingdom of Bhutan, a comprehensive tour designed to take you deeper into its heartland. This itinerary is an impactful and well-rounded experience, blending the country’s iconic landmarks with its serene natural beauty and unique cultural traditions. With comfortable accommodations and a planned schedule, you can fully embrace the magic of this incredible destination.
Your adventure begins in Paro, a breathtaking valley where you’ll get your first glimpse of Bhutan’s serene beauty. From there, you will travel to Thimphu, the capital city. You’ll explore its vibrant markets, ancient monasteries, and museums, which showcase the country’s rich Buddhist heritage and art. Unlike most capitals, Thimphu has a peaceful atmosphere that makes for a truly unique urban experience.
Next, you will travel to the scenic Punakha, the former capital of Bhutan. Here, you’ll visit the stunning Punakha Dzong, a fortress considered to be one of the most beautiful in the country, situated at the confluence of two rivers. The journey continues to the serene Phobjikha Valley, a vast, U-shaped glacial valley that is a significant wetland and a winter home for the rare black-necked cranes. This peaceful region offers a glimpse into rural Bhutanese life and its pristine natural environment.
The tour culminates back in Paro, where the highlight is a hike to the famous Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Taktsang), a sacred site perched precariously on a cliff. This extended tour provides a perfect blend of culture, nature, and adventure, leaving you with a profound sense of peace and a deeper connection to the “Land of the Thunder Dragon.”
