  • The iconic Tiger’s Circuit - A Glimpse into the Peaceful Land of the Thunder Dragon 


    Breaking the cliché of popular tourist attractions Bhutan remains a hidden gem of high-rise snow capped Himalayas and quaint fertile valleys that only a handful of fortunate tourists get to experience. Nothing surpasses an immersive experience of hiking and contemplating at one of the unrecognized wonders of the ancient world that is the Tiger’s Nest Monastery in Paro valley. Located on a steep cliff high above the Paro valley at an altitude of 3,120 meters above the sea level, the Tiger’s Nest is an architectural and engineering feat baffling visitors with its spiritual ambience and extraordinary history.

    Itinerary

    • Day 1 - The Glimpse of Himalayan Kingdom

      As your first day, take it slow and rest well at your luxury lodge. Evenings are perfect for a walk, hike or cycle through the sleepy rural village till you reach the main Paro town.

You might even want to hangout at a pub and enjoy some local brew.

      Today is a full day of exploring the valley and soaking in the various experiences that Paro has to offer from the history of the majestic Rinpung Dzong and the Museum overlooking the valley, to the 7th century Kyichu Lhakhang / temple and a beautiful car ride or bicycle ride to the Drugyal Dzong (Fortress of Victory) located north of the valley. The 1 ½ hour Zuri Dzong Hike is a leisurely leg stretching exercise with spectacular bird’s eye view of the Valley.

    FAQS

    Here are answers to some common questions. 
    • How long is the Visa process and can I apply directly with the Bhutan Government for my tourist Visa?

      Visa formalities is smooth and hassle free for tourists as only registered tour companies/operators can apply for tourist Visas with the Tourism Council of Bhutan. As your chosen tour company, once we confirm your travel dates, flights and logistics we will apply for your Bhutan Visa. All tourist Visa approval is 100% guaranteed and Visa approval only depends on your imminent travel dates. Visa usually gets approved 1 month prior to your arrival date to Bhutan. 

    • Can we buy our flight tickets or do we have to buy from you?

      You can either purchase your flight tickets online https://www.drukair.com.bt or we can do on your behalf. It will be more convenient for you and for us if we purchase your flight tickets, as there is no difference in the price whether you or we purchase. 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. Also luxury premium hotels like Uma by Como, Six Senses and Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary offers free yoga classes for their in house guests as per their schedule. For walk in guests the additional cost for a 1 hour yoga session with their in-house teacher at Uma by Como in Paro is USD 120.00 for 1 person. 



      However, if you do not need a teacher, then we can provide yoga mats which will be kept in your car all times and whenever you want you can ask your guide to take you to a good spot to do your yoga. There are many scenic spots and plenty of opportunity for outdoor yoga session by yourself or with your traveling group.   


      We also arrange special wellness and Yoga retreat trips on request.

    • 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. 


      The tour guide and driver are more like local companions showing you the places and providing local insight into the culture of Bhutan, while also taking care of all logistics and ensuring you have a hassle free comfortable holiday in Bhutan.
