The adventure
Explore the happiest country on Earth in under one week without sacrificing any of the life changing moments you expect from the kingdom of Bhutan. Discover a country of smiling monks, stunning mountain trails, and iconic dzongs. The ancient traditions of Bhutan will beckon you to slow down, breathe deep and reconnect with your inner zen.
Arrive at Paro Airport and meet your arrival transfers to our accommodation in Thimpu. Here you will attend a welcome meeting followed by an optional group dinner.
Visit the National Memorial Chorten, the Buddha Point, and Motithang Takin Preserve. In the evening, visit Tashichho Dzong.
Travel to Punakha in the morning crossing Dochula Pass. After a pleasant stop for views enjoy a short hike to Chimi Lhakhang Temple learning about its historical significance. In the afternoon explore the stunning Punakha Dzong.
Take a scenic drive back to Paro this morning with a few stops en route. Upon arrival the group will visit the Paro Dzong as well as the local archery grounds. This evening you'll have free time to wander and indulge as you please.
Enjoy a morning hike to Taktsang Monastery (Tiger's Nest). The hike is about 7km and offers a chance to visit 13 holy relics, at a place considered to be one of the most venerated pilgrim sites of the Himalayan world. After finishing the hike you'll have the rest of the evening free to explore more of Paro on your own before one last dinner with the group.
