Glimpse of Bhutan 5 nights

Thimphu → Paro 6 days Up to 7

About this trip

Six days through Bhutan's western valleys — Paro, Thimphu, Punakha and Wangduephodrang — built around the country's Buddhist heritage and mountain scenery.

You get a proper look at the region's dzongs, monasteries and temples, including the hike up to Tiger's Nest above Paro Valley, without feeling rushed between stops.

A steady, well-paced route that crosses the Dochula Pass into the subtropical Punakha Valley, mixing history, landscape and everyday Bhutanese life.
