About this trip
Six days across Bhutan's three main hubs — Thimphu, Punakha, and Paro — giving you a solid first look at the country without rushing between too many places.
You start in Thimphu, the capital, where old traditions and modern life sit side by side, then move on to the Punakha valley with its river views and dzong, before finishing in Paro, the base for the Tiger's Nest Monastery.
It's a mix of monasteries, fortress-dzongs, and mountain scenery, with room for a more personal, relaxed pace rather than a packed checklist.
What you'll do
- Explore Thimphu and its blend of tradition and modern life
- Visit Punakha Dzong and the surrounding river valley
- Hike up to Tiger's Nest Monastery above Paro
- Take in Himalayan valley views across the route
- Spend time in Paro town before the tour ends
- Covers only three main areas, so it suits a relaxed rather than fast-moving pace
- Described as self-guided and personalized, so structure may flex to your preferences
- Available over Christmas and New Year for those wanting to travel that period
