Explore Bhutan in a Local Way
04 Nights / 05 Days
Tour Overview
Bhutan's breathtaking scenery is evident at every bend of its winding roads: vibrant monasteries, snow-capped peaks, and quiet towns surrounded by farms growing chillies. Bhutan, which is well-known throughout the world for its dedication to "Gross National Happiness," carbon-negative status, and its daily Sustainable Development Fee for tourists, has put a lot of effort into preserving both its distinctive culture and stunning natural surroundings. Almost 70% of the nation is covered in forests, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and home to quaint towns that exhibit a unique way of life that is unmatched on Earth.
Even though travelling by car to each location can take hours, the breathtaking views and those nerve-wracking turns are all part of what it's like to visit this incredibly unique location. For individuals who want to learn more about Buddhism, trekking, and other topics, here are our picks for the best places to add to your Bhutan itinerary.

ITINERARY
Paro - Thimphu - Punakha ( 04 Nights & 05 Days)
.jpg)
Day 01: Bhutan arrival & transfer / Sightseeing in Thimpu
Meet and greet upon arrival at the Paro Airport, followed by a transfer to Bhutan's capital, Thimphu (7,710 feet).
Check into the hotel upon arrival.
Follow this with a sightseeing tour of Thimphu, stopping at the following places:
Sangaygang View Point, Takin Preserve Centre, where you may observe Bhutan's national animal;
Kuensel Phodrang (Buddha Statue), is a cool spot with a massive statue of Buddha on top of the Kuensel Phodrang, Folk Heritage Museum. Visit the Fortress of the Glorious Religion, or Tashichho Dzong, in the sunset. Walkabout Thimpu town in the evening. Staying overnight in Thimphu.
Day 2: Sightseeing from Thimphu to Punakha and Wangdue
Take a break to see the higher Himalayas at Dochu-La-Pass, which is located at 3,150 meters. Check-in at the hotel upon arrival in Punakha.
Visit Punakha Dzong after midday; Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal constructed it in 1637.
It was the government seat for many years until the reign of the second king. Phodrang, or the Palace of Great Happiness, was the name given to the Dzong. In 1952, King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck called the first National Assembly in Punakha, which is still the winter residence of Je-Khenpo.
Next, go for a quick and easy trek to the Chhimi Lhakhang. Also called "The Temple of Fertility," this temple was constructed by Lama Drukpa Kuenley, dubbed "The Devine Mad Man," during that time. Evening at your leisure. Be at Punakha for the night.
Day 3: Explore Punakha and return to Paro by road
Take a drive to Rinpung Dzong and visit it. Dzong holds the monastic body of Paro, the office of Dzongda (district administrative), and the Thrimpon (Judge) of Paro district. It was constructed in 1646 by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, the first spiritual and temporal monarch of Bhutan.
You can drive up the valley to see the remains of Drukgyel Dzong. In the seventeenth century, multiple Tibetan armies were driven back from this location by the Bhutanese people.
Go to one of the most revered and ancient shrines in the Kingdom, Kyichu Lhakhang, afterwards. Stay in Paro for the night.
Day 04: Hiking in the Famous Taktsang Monastery / Tiger Nest
Our treks start at the base and gradually ascend via a pine forest track that is frequently crowded with horses and walkers. The tea house with the ideal Tiger's Nest location, perched 900 meters above the valley floor on a cliff face, is roughly an hour's walk up a moderate slope. Reaching the correct temple will require a difficult climb of another one and a half hours.
According to legend, an Indian guru known as "Guru Rinpoche" arrived in Taktsang in the eighth century, riding a fiery tigress that had transformed into a furious thunderbolt known as Guru Dorji role. To appease the evil power that was terrifying the locals, Guru meditated in this cave for nearly four months while in a trance. During that time, he was able to reveal the Mandala of Shree Vajrakumara. After our return to the base,
we will be transported into the city to have lunch at a nearby restaurant.
You are free to engage in solo activities or to explore the city and take in the local way of life after lunch. End the evening with a sumptuous dinner and retire.
Day 05: Final Departure
