The perfect first trip to Bhutan. In six relaxed days you will explore the capital Thimphu, cross the 108-chorten Dochu La pass, stand beneath the magnificent Punakha Dzong at the meeting of two rivers, and end with the unforgettable hike to Paro Taktsang, the Tiger's Nest monastery.
Ideal for couples, friends and families who want Bhutan's best sights at a comfortable pace, with a private vehicle and licensed local guide throughout.
Fly into Paro International Airport, one of the most scenic landings in the world.
