About this trip
A short, guided loop through Bhutan's main valleys, taking in Thimphu, Punakha and Paro in five days. It's a good option if you want a first taste of the country without committing to a longer trip.
Expect dzongs, monasteries and valley drives, with the hike up to Tiger's Nest as the natural high point near the end.
Guides are English-speaking and with you throughout, and hotels are arranged in each town, so the logistics are handled and you can focus on the sights.
