Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 Arrival in Paro and Transfer to Thimphu
- Arrive at Paro Airport and transfer to Bhutan's capital, Thimphu, which is about an hour and a half away. It is one of the most scenic drives in Bhutan.
- Spend the day at leisure and go exploring around the valley.
- Overnight stay at hotel.
Day 2 City Tour of Thimphu
- After breakfast, go for Thimphu sightseeing.
- Visit the Memorial Chorten, also known as Thimphu Chorten/ Memorial Stupa, one of Thimphu's tallest monuments. It was built in honor of Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, the third king of Bhutan and the father of modern Bhutan. The architecture of this place is marvelous and is a highlight of the town.
- Next, visit the 15th-century Changangkha monastery, an ancient temple situated around 1 km from downtown Thimpu. The temple was built in the 12th Century on a site chosen by Phajo Drukgom Shigpo, the founder of the Drukpa Lineage in Bhutan. It has large prayer wheels, incredibly huge Tibetan texts, and very fine interior murals.
- Your next stop would be Tashicho Dzong, an ancient fortress currently serving as a monastery and the central secretariat of the present government. Originally built in 1216, the original structure was destroyed in a fire, and the current structure was newly built. The Throne Room and several officers of the monarchy are situated within the Tashichho Dzong.
- Our last stop for the day would be Buddha Dordenma, a 51-meter-tall gold-plated statue of Buddha, entirely made of steel. The night sees this statue beautifully illuminated and makes it even better sight to behold. The statue houses around 125,000 spectacular smaller Buddha statues made of bronze and plated in gold, each of which looks like the Dordenma itself.
- After the tour, transfer back to the hotel and rest.
- Overnight stay at Hotel.
Day 3 Transfer to Paro & Sightseeing: Drugyel Dzong and Rinpung Dzong
- After breakfast, drive to Paro.
- Later, go sightseeing and visit the Drugyel Dzong. Now in ruins, Drukgyel Dzong is a fortress built in 1649 to mark the victory of Bhutan over Tibet. On climbing to the top of the ruins, a fantastic view of the valley greets you, making it worth the effort.
- Next, visit the National Museum of Bhutan. This museum showcases art and traditions and has six floors, each narrating a unique tale from the past. You can see paintings, art pieces, animal masks, and many more facets of the rich culture. Perched above Paro Dzong, it houses all the important artifacts and belongings from the past.
- Our last stop is Rinpung Dzong. Beautifully lit at night, the dzong has many illustrations portraying the life of Buddha. A hike to the top of the fortress offers a spectacular view of nearby valleys.
- After the tour, transfer back to the hotels and rest.
- Overnight stay at Hotel.
Day 4 Hike to Tiger's Nest Monastery
- After breakfast, go for a day hike to the viewpoint of Taktsang Monastery, famously known as Tiger's Nest Monastery. Tiger's nest is known for the trek that has been carried on for years. With a total distance of 6.4 kms, the trek offers mesmerizing views of the Paro Valley. The mystery of how it was constructed in such conditions still amazes people. It is one of the few sites in Bhutan which was visited by Guru Rinpoche, who is also referred to as 'Second Buddha'.
- When in Paro, take a moment to stop and shop for souvenirs from the local stores.
- At the end of the day, reward yourself with a trip to the neighboring brewery for locally-produced beer before retiring to your hotel for the day.
- Overnight stay at hotel.
Day 5 Depart from Paro
- Spend the last morning exploring Paro at leisure.
- After breakfast, transfer to the airport for the onward journey.

Right from taking care of our permits to ensuring our safety throughout the trip and also till we reached our home Bharath ji and his team ensured we had a great time. Also would like to mention when I raised a request for Bhutan trip on Holidify me Bharath ji was the first tour operator who reached out to us with a perfect plan within 30 minutes.
The rooms were great and spacious. We being vegetarians were little worried about the food , but thanks to Bharath ji and his Team they ensured taking great care of our curated meals in all locations. Special mention to our guide Sonam ji and Our driver Sidhdhart ji, we started as a team and always felt we were traveling as a team. Excellent services and warmth.

Exceptional Bhutan Experience with Asia Valleys Tour and Travels
I had the pl (Read More)easure of visiting Bhutan with Asia Valleys Tour and Travels, and it turned out to be an absolutely memorable experience.
Right from the planning stage, the team was extremely flexible and attentive. They offered multiple itinerary options and thoughtfully customized the plan based on our preferences. What stood out most was how patiently they listened to our requests and curated the entire trip to ensure comfort and ease.
All arrangements were excellent — a clean and comfortable car, premium 4/5 star hotels, and two wonderful tour guides, Mr. Sonam and Mr. Siddharth.
The guides were highly knowledgeable, considerate, and genuinely warm. During the 5-day trip, I learned a great deal about Bhutan’s history, monarchy, political and administrative systems, culture, traditional attire, food, and Buddhism. Sonam and Siddharth explained everything patiently and in great detail, making the experience both insightful and enjoyable.
A special mention to the beautiful candlelight dinner curated exclusively for us — it was thoughtfully arranged and added a truly romantic and personal touch to the trip. We also had an amazing karaoke night with the guides, which was incredibly fun and made the entire experience feel even more warm, friendly, and memorable.
Overall, the trip was completely stress-free, well-organized, and perfectly balanced between learning, relaxation, and fun. I would highly recommend Asia Valleys Tour and Travels to anyone planning a relaxed, customized, and unforgettable trip to Bhutan ?
Thank you to the entire team — Bharat, Sonam, Siddharth. You’re doing fantastic work together! ✨
