Your upcoming trip

A week in Bhutan is guaranteed to make your heart sing and this adventure is packed with all the best bits. From nail-biting journeys by road, a bigger and better view around every corner, and some of the country’s most beautiful monasteries - never underestimate what seven days can hold…

The trip begins in Thimphu, Bhutan’s intriguing capital. Highlights include the golden Buddha Dordenma and the beautiful Tashicho Dzong, and there are various museums and memorials to help you get to grips with the rich, ever-present culture.

Next, you’ll make your way over the lofty Dochula Pass to Punakha where days can be as active (white-water rafting and mountain biking) or laidback (monasteries, views for miles and mountain strolls) as you like.

Retrace your steps back to Paro and end your trip at the iconic Tiger’s Nest. One of the most sacred places in the country, we guarantee that you’ll return home serene and centred – and perhaps with a new-found love of hiking!

What you can do in Thimphu

Days 1 - 3

Bhutan’s capital city is packed to the hilt with history, which you can get acquainted with on visits to the Textile Museum, Folk Heritage Museum, National Library and the centuries-old Tashichho Dzong, which was built without using a single nail. Get to know Thimphu from a local perspective as you browse shops selling handmade paper and traditional arrows, and even watch some of the country’s finest bowmen perfecting their aim. As is the case with most of Bhutan’s towns, there are dozens of beautiful temples to marvel at and witness sacred Buddhist traditions, and on hikes into the surrounding countryside, you can visit the famous 51-metre-tall Buddha Dordenma.

What you can do in Punakha

Days 3 - 5

Ensconced by forested mountains, Punakha is as picturesque as they come. You can make the most of this setting on hikes, mountain bike rides and rafting expeditions down one of its beautiful rivers. Punakha also boasts one of the most auspicious dzongs (forts) in the country, which cuts a striking figure with its golden peaks. Depending on the time of year, a colourful and vibrant Tsechu (Mask Dance Festival) might be taking place.

What you can do in Paro

Days 5 - 8

Paro is most famous for the opportunity to make the breathtaking hike to the Taktsang Dzong, one of the most sacred in Bhutan - and perched on the very edge of the cliffside. However, this is just one of many trails to explore in the surrounding valleys and their many temples. Back in central Paro, pick up handmade souvenirs at the market and enjoy a taste of the local cuisine.
