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.

We recently booked our trip to Bhutan with Mr. Sudip. I had been coordinating wi (Read More)th him since October, and our trip was from 24th December.
It was a 4 nights, 5 days trip, and the coordination from Mr. Sudip was absolutely excellent. The entire trip went exactly the way I wanted — smooth, comfortable, and truly memorable.
Since 27th December was my brother-in-law’s birthday, Mr. Sudip suggested arranging a special cultural event which was organized especially for us. It was completely worth it and became one of the highlights of our trip.
The room I had specifically requested was provided exactly as promised. As I was traveling with my in-laws and a 7-month-old baby, this attention to detail meant a lot to us and everyone truly enjoyed the experience.
We were accompanied by a wonderful guide, Nyon, who was extremely kind and supportive. Our driver, Mr. Rakaki, was also very professional and made our journeys safe and comfortable.
Throughout the trip, Mr. Sudip constantly checked in and made sure everything was going perfectly. His dedication and care made our journey stress-free.
Thank you for making our trip so memorable. It was an amazing experience.
It is absolutely worth booking, and I will definitely recommend your services to my friends and colleagues.
Everything was good, Just the local guide and driver need to more flexible

Thanks to you, your team and specially your wife for doing everything that u did. Gratitude and see u soon.

Mostly the choice of hotels, decisions and support during emergency situation an (Read More)d overall planning. The husband-wife team is very cooperative and flexible and had taken personal care. It was a pleasant surprise to get a complimentary special tea packet after the trip. Their personal touch was very assuring.
It was an end to end trip for North Bengal and Bhutan, starting from Bagdogra ai (Read More)rport and ending at NJP railway station. As we have requested for a relaxed trip, as I am a senior citizen, they made it too relaxing...could have saved at least a day, if not two. Bhutan is known for scenic beauty, forts and monarchy and other than that there's nothing much to see. May be it's our mistake that we did not do our homework well, otherwise we could have easily saved 2 days and 20-25K.
