Overview

Bhutan is the last Himalayan kingdom — prayer-flag ridges, fortress-monasteries (dzongs), and the cliff-clinging Tiger’s Nest monastery that everyone hikes to. This 5-night journey covers Paro, the capital Thimphu and the beautiful Punakha valley, at the gentle, unhurried pace Bhutan is made for.

We handle the Bhutan visa and the Sustainable Development Fee, the licensed guide and private vehicle, and the hotels, so this once-in-a-lifetime destination is completely sorted. Add Gangtey (the Phobjikha valley) or a festival (tsechu) date.
