About this trip
Six days through Bhutan's western valleys, covering the country's key Buddhist sites and Himalayan scenery in a small group. This is a culture-and-sightseeing itinerary rather than a trek, with dzongs, monasteries and temples forming the backbone of each day.
You'll spend time in Thimphu and Paro before crossing the Dochula Pass into the Punakha Valley, taking in shifting landscapes from mountain passes to sub-tropical lowlands along the way.
What you'll do
- Visit Simply Bhutan for an interactive look at traditional Bhutanese lifestyles
- See the 12th-century Changangkha Lhakhang temple overlooking Thimphu
- Explore Ta Dzong Museum and Rinpung Dzong in Paro
- Hike up to Taktsang Monastery, the Tiger's Nest, above Paro Valley
- Cross Dochula Pass at 3,050m for Himalayan views
- Visit Punakha Dzong and Chimi Lhakhang, the temple of the Divine Madman
- Culture and sightseeing focused, with temple and dzong visits most days
- Includes a hike up to Taktsang Monastery, so some fitness helps
- Short itinerary covering western Bhutan only, not the full country
