    Itinerary

    • Day 1: Paro International Airport – Your first glimpse of Bhutan

      The flight into Bhutan is spectacular with views of the snow capped Himalayas of Bhutan, Nepal and Sikkim and checking through immigrations at the Paro International Airport is quick and hassle-free. At the Airport exit gate your tour guide and driver will be waiting for you and a few minutes’ drive will bring you to the Paro town where you can have your lunch or tea/coffee.


      You can start your magical experience of Bhutan by first visiting the impressive Rinpung Dzong/fortress of Heaped Jewels which is a fine example of the ostentatious Bhutanese art and architecture evident everywhere.  Located above the Dzong is the National Museum showcasing various artifacts and relics of ancient Bhutan.


      Enjoy the one and half hour drive to Thimphu through the beautiful landscape and during holidays you can stop over and watch an archery match in progress. Thimphu is one of the few capital cities in the world not having traffic lights and the traffic is still manned by traffic policemen. You can either check into your hotel and relax or go for an evening stroll through the town and and market areas.


      Overnight at the exclusive Aman Kora Lodge and enjoy their luxurious and hospitable service and facilities.

    • Day 2: Thimphu Valley Excursion – Combination of the Ancient and the Modern

      After a leisurely breakfast explore the capital Thimphu and visit the main sites. Soak in the panoramic view of the Thimphu valley from the site of the gigantic Buddha Shakyamuni, one of the largest statue of Buddha at a height of 169 feet (51.5 meters). You can also enjoy a short hike around the Buddha, and then a stopover at the Memorial Chorten/stupa in town is another favorite with the tourists and elderly citizens as they circumambulate the Chorten chanting prayers and pulling at their beads. The main statue of the Buddha inside the Chorten is said to grant wishes for the earnest and honest hearted!


      If you want to mingle with the Bhutanese people and jostle with local farmers amongst the aroma of organic fruits and vegetables, the Centenary Farmers Market is the place to be. Smiling tourists watch in awe as locals bargain with the vendors and you could even stock up on your organic fruits for the coming days.


      In the evening visit the impressive Tashi Chho Dzong / Fortress of the Auspicious Religion. The Dzong houses the office of our King, few government offices and the Central Monk Body.


      There are many other places of interest if you are not too tired, or you can rest and relax at your hotel Aman Kora.

    • Day 3: Thimphu – Paro

      Drive for an hour till you reach the scenic Dochulaa Pass (3150 meters) from where you can enjoy spectacular views of the snow capped Himalayan Mountains and the mini 108 stupas built over a hill.


      Drive back to Paro which will take about 2 hours from the Pass and enroute you can stopover to visit the Semtokha Dzong, the first Dzong built in 1629, Tachogang Temple across the iron suspension bridge, and back in Paro you can check into the Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary and enjoy their hospitality.


      The Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary is the latest addition to the high-end hotels in Paro and offers many interesting activities like archery, pottery, cooking classes, traditional doctor consultation, unlimited spa, massage and hot-stone baths, yoga/meditation class, other wellness treatments and visits to nearby villages and temples.

    • Day 4: Hike to the Tiger’s Nest Monastery / Taktsang Goemba

      After an early breakfast drive for about 30 minutes to the base of the Taktsang Monastery, and while there are options to ride a pony till halfway, we’d suggest you to walk all the way to the Monastery. It is about 3 hours uphill and 2 hours down, and enroute there is a cafeteria, however we can either arrange a picnic lunch or depending on your walking pace you maybe able to come back to your hotel for lunch.


      Since the Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary offers many activities you have the choice to stay at your Hotel and enjoy these facilities, or you can visit few temples located in the town and enjoy a stroll through the market places and numerous small handicraft shops.

    • Day 5: Departure

      After breakfast and as per your flight time your tour guide and driver will drive you to the Airport. We hope you had a pleasant stay and we hope to see you again in Bhutan.

    Why Bhutan is the future of the next holiday destination?

    By Sonam Dendup • 18 Dec, 2020
    For Bhutanese, Gross National Happiness means a good government that creates an enabling environment for people to pursue happiness in a meaningful way. The result is a country at peace with itself, and people at peace with themselves!

    Trong Heritage Village, Zhemgang

    By Sonam Dendup • 18 Jun, 2020
    One of the attractions of Zhemgang is the Trong Heritage Village, an array of traditional stone masonry houses built on a hillock overlooking the imposing Zhemgang Dzong/Fortress It was the initiative of the 4th King Jigme Singye Wangchuck and people of the community to preserve this unique Bhutanese architecture and promote eco tourism in the area. Not much is documented or written about the origin of Trong Village or when it was built but the elderly locals say it must be more than 100 years. The neatly laid down stones, skillful use of available materials, earthquake resistant techniques, cobbled pathways and natural airflow and lights of the entire village exemplifies the architectural splendor of Bhutan well maintained over the centuries.

    Bjokha Village Excursion

    By Sonam Dendup • 18 Jun, 2020
    Excursion of Bjoka and nearby villages is one of the key attractions of the Park and will add on to a unique cultural experience of ancient culture, traditions and beliefs Bjoka village is about one and half hour drive from Pangbang through the heart of the Royal Manas National Park. The drive is through sub-tropical forests of giant bamboo trees and two spectacular waterfalls. Excursion of Bjoka and nearby villages is one of the key attractions of the Park and will add on to a unique cultural experience of ancient culture, traditions and beliefs. The local Royal palace with its black and white walls have an interesting history and story, and walking through the village, visiting the rickety bamboo-thatched huts and interacting with the villagers as you sip on Tongba – a local wine of maize, will give you an insight into how people still live happily with very basic modern infrastructure and amenities. The people here are skilled in making cane and bamboo products (household items) which are sold all over the country and is also their main source of income. Another attraction is the Nanglakha Monastery perched on a hilltop with a bird’s eye view of the northern parts of the Manas Park.

    Dunmang Natural Hot Spring

    By Sindri Traustason • 18 Jun, 2020
    While Bhutan is known by many names, the most relevant is “The Land of Medicinal Herbs’ as coined by the Tibetan traditional doctors as there are numerous medicinal plants and herbs grown and many not identified yet. The herbal plants/soil and the mineral rocks combine to give the hot-springs a powerful natural healing of various medicinal values which is considered to cure many diseases and ailments. Dunmang Tshachu – Many many years ago around this part of the world two huge mega pieces of the Earth’s crust called the tectonic plates collided against each other giving birth to the towering Himalayas. This powerful force resulted in forming a network of natural hot springs in the Himalayas and Bhutan located in the eastern part of the interior Himalayas has numerous such hot springs all over the country. The Gasa, Chubu and Koma (Tshachu) hot springs in Punakha, Dunmang Tshachu in Zhemgang, Dhur Tshachu in Bumthang, Tatopani in Gelephu, Khempa Jong Nye in Lhuentse are among the more popular ones in Bhutan. While Bhutan is known by many names, the most relevant is “The Land of Medicinal Herbs’ as coined by the Tibetan traditional doctors as there are numerous medicinal plants and herbs grown and many not identified yet. The herbal plants/soil and the mineral rocks combine to give the hot-springs a powerful natural healing of various medicinal values which is considered to cure many diseases and ailments. Back in the old days when there were no hospitals or modern doctors and very few traditional doctors, the Bhutanese people heavily relied on the hot springs and traditional hot stone baths as an alternative curative therapy. The Dunmang Tshachu/Hot springs is very popular for numerous healing and curative benefits such as migranes, gastritis, piles, body aches, joint aches and healing fractured/dislocated joints. There are 4 outdoors ponds with water temperatures ranging from 10 degrees to 53 degrees and blends in perfectly with the forest and the Mangde Chhu / river flowing alongside. For all guests’ accommodation there is a 2-storied guesthouse and a VIP room with proper washrooms andtoilets pumped with the hot spring water. People from all walks of life including few tourists come to this hot spring for therapy, relaxation and adventure. It is a one and half hour walk down from the Zhemgang – Panbang Highway at the Gomphu zero point. Since the Dunmang hot spring is located inside the Royal Manas National Park, on the way to and from the Hot Spring you can spot many different birds including the endangered Great Hornbill and various wild animals. You can therefore combine this adventure with bird watching and wild life viewing along the path to and from the hot spring early in the morning or by evening.

    Snow Capped Mountains and Waterfalls

    By Sonam Dendup • 18 Jun, 2020
    Though the Royal Manas National Park in Zhemgang is famed for wildlife viewing, nature adventure and exotic birding experience, however en-route to the Park you will be driving through the Black Mountain Ranges and High Mountain passes from where you can see the Himalayas of Bhutan. As you fly into the Paro International Airport, and if you are lucky to get a seat on the left side of the aisle then you can enjoy aerial views of the tallest mountain ranges of the world including the Mt. Everest, Kangchenjenga, Lhotse, Manasulu and as you get nearer to your destination the Mt. Jumolhari (7326m), Jichu Drakey (6662m) and Tsherimgang of Bhutan – the last Himalayan Kingdom. Though the Royal Manas National Park in Zhemgang is famed for wildlife viewing, nature adventure and exotic birding experience, however en-route to the Park you will be driving through the Black Mountain Ranges and High Mountain passes from where you can see the Himalayas of Bhutan. On your drive from Thimphu to Punakha stopover at the scenic Dochula Pass (3,150 masl) for a panoramic view of Mt Gangkar Puensum (7570 m), Gangchen Singye (7205 m), Tari Gang (7,304 m), Masang Gang (7194 m), Table Mountain (7,094 m), Mt Kubum, Tiger Mountain and many more. And as you drive away from Punakha towards Zhemgang you will be driving through, along and facing the secret and remote Black Mountain Ranges. As much as the mountains of Bhutan are high-rise, steep and dramatic so are the amazing waterfalls dotting the landscape. On the Bumthang - Monggar highway, the Namling waterfall is one of the most spectacular to watch as it falls more than 1,500 meters beating against the hard vertical cliff with the water vanishing into foamy clouds of smoke far below the road. On the way to Panbang from Tingtibi (Zhemgang), the Twin Waterfall offers a refreshing stop-over on the long drive and is famous for locals and tourists alike to take a quick shower and a swim. While on your drive to explore Bjoka village from Pangbang there are two noticeable waterfalls cascading silently in the deep heart of the Royal Manas National Park.

    Lhakhang Nagpo / Black Temple

    By Tashi Wangmo • 18 Jun, 2020
    The Black Pigeon sent along with the white pigeon by the Tibetan King Songtsen Gyembo landed about a kilometer away from the white Temple, on top of a lake and the site where the present black Temple is built. This dark and mysterious Black Temple is a representation and residue of the tantric and bon religion practiced in the olden times. Inside the temple there is an opening in the floor that is said to lead to the lake underneath where a mermaid lives. From the top one can enjoy the view of the valley of scattered traditional houses and also the magnificent snowcapped mountains in the backdrop.

However, as a Registered Ticketing Agent of both the Airlines in Bhutan, we will be the first ones to know if there are any changes in the flight timing or schedule, and we can immediately liaise with the airlines for the next best options and reschedule accordingly the hotels and itinerary. 


      The second advantage is if there are any promotional rates we can avail the offer and pass it on to you which is not possible if you buy online. 

    • Can we have a yoga class or a session while in Bhutan?

      Yoga is gaining popularity in Bhutan and there are few yoga centers offering scheduled sessions by professional yoga teachers at no cost or a minimum fee.

    • Do I have to travel with a tour guide?

      Tourism in Bhutan is managed by the Tourism Council of Bhutan and as per the Tourism Policy any tourists wishing to visit Bhutan must tie up with a local tour operator for Visa and all logistics. The policy also mandates that each tour group irrespective of the number of people in a group, must have a tour guide and a driver. While all this sounds restrictive, suffocating and almost like traveling to North Korea where they also have the guided tour policy, however please be assured the similarity ends at these words. Bhutan is a liberal country and one of the safest places to visit and live in. Tour itineraries are customized as per the interests of the guests and the guests has the liberty to choose their duration of travel and places to visit. Guests have the liberty to start their day at any time they choose, spend extra time at a site or skip any sight if not interested.
