  • The evening is free for exploring the local market around Phuentsholing.
  • Overnight stay at the hotel in Phuentsholing.

  • Evening free for exploring the local market.

  • Dochula Pass: Located between Thimphu and Punakha at an elevation of around 3100 meters, Dochula Pass offers a scenic view of the Eastern Himalayas. The pass features 108 stupas and is fully covered in snow during the winter, making it a beautiful destination.
  • Punakha Dzong: This is the most beautiful dzong situated at the confluence of two rivers, Pho Chu (male) and Mo Chu (female), in Punakha. Mo Chu is particularly preferred by first-timers, children, and elderly visitors. Upon visiting Punakha Dzong, guests will be mesmerized by the Bhutanese architectural marvel and have the opportunity to explore the sacred history of this ancient site.
  • Punakha Suspension Bridge: One of the oldest suspension bridges in the world, the Punakha Suspension Bridge in Bhutan is believed to have been built by the Buddhist monk Thangtong Gyalpo. This ancient hanging bridge is adorned with prayer flags and provides an ideal spot for bird watching and nature photography. It is renowned worldwide for its picturesque appearance.
  • River Rafting: While rafting often conjures images of crashing through tumultuous rapids and monstrous waves, river rafting in Bhutan offers a gentle drift down the river, allowing participants to admire the scenery while navigating a few small yet exciting rapids.
  • Chimi Lhakhang: Also known as Chime Lhakhang, this Buddhist monastery is located in the Punakha District of Bhutan, near Lobesa. Built in 1499 by the 14th Drukpa hierarch, Ngawang Choegyel, the monastery stands on a round hillock and was blessed by the "Divine Madman," the maverick saint Drukpa Kunley (1455–1529), who constructed a chorten on the site.
  • Overnight stay in Thimphu.
  • The National Memorial Chorten: Built in memory of the third Druk Gyalpo (Head of Kingdom) of Bhutan, the National Memorial Chorten is dedicated to World Peace. The Chorten is popular among locals for various major Buddhist religious festivals and is one of the best places to visit in Thimphu, Bhutan.
  • Buddha Dordenma Statue: Atop a hill in Thimphu, this massive golden Buddha sits above a gilded meditation hall. Hidden inside are 125,000 smaller Buddhas, meaning there are more Buddha statues in Thimphu than the city’s population of 100,000. It is also known as Buddha Point.
  • Simply Bhutan (Living Museum): This living museum is fully operated by youth and supported by the Bhutan Youth Development Fund. It provides a glimpse into traditional Bhutanese life, featuring a small collection of typical household objects and tools. Youth guides explain how the Bhutanese used to build houses out of mud and make wheat wine. Visitors can try on traditional costumes (Gho & Kira) and have photos taken for free. Traditional dance performances are also available, and handicrafts can be purchased as souvenirs while supporting the youth.
  • Sangaygang View Point: Sangaygang is a beautiful viewpoint in Bhutan, home to the tower that transmits the national television channel of Bhutan, BBS. From this viewpoint, one can observe a wonderful view of Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan. On clear, cloudless days, a beautiful panoramic view of the entire city can be captured. Thousands of prayer flags can be seen fluttering in the air.
  • The Motithang Takin Preserve: For animal lovers, the Motithang Takin Preserve is one of the best places to visit in Thimphu.

The Takin, the national animal of Bhutan, resides in the Motithang Takin Preserve.
  • Changangkha Lhakhang: Among the many monasteries and temples in Thimphu, Changangkha Lhakhang is one of the most significant religious structures.

  • Simtokha Dzong: Built in 1629 and also known as Sangak Zabdhon Phodrang by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, Simtokha Dzong is one of the oldest Dzongs in Bhutan. It is a very important historical structure.
  • The Clock Tower: Clock Tower Square is an example of great architectural marvel. This tower features four clock faces, making it unique among buildings in Bhutan. It is a popular spot among visitors, especially in the evening when people come to enjoy the beautiful paintings and carvings. Numerous restaurants and souvenir shops are located near this tower, making it one of the most visited sites in town.
  • Tashi Chho Dzong: Located next to the bank of the Wang Chhu River, Tashi Chho Dzong, also known as Thimphu Dzong, hosts the annual three-day Tsechu festival every year. It was built in 1216 A.D.
  • Overnight hotel in Paro.
  • Taktsang Monastery: After breakfast, embark on a hike to Tiger's Nest (approximately 5 hours round trip). This is Bhutan’s most iconic landmark and religious site. The temple clings impossibly to a sheer cliff face 900 meters above the Paro Valley. Taktsang Lhakhang is located approximately 10 km north of Paro town at an altitude of 3,120 meters. No trip to Bhutan would be complete without a visit to this stunning heritage site.
  • National Museum of Bhutan: An ancient watchtower that now displays hundreds of ancient Bhutanese artifacts and artwork, including traditional costumes, armor, weaponry, and handcrafted implements for daily life. The collections represent the rich cultural traditions of the country.

Just got back from an unforgettable trip to Bhutan with Asia Valley Tours! Sp (Read More)ecial thanks to Mr. Bharat Gurung from Asia Valley Tours for helping us plan and customize our itinerary exactly as we wanted. He was extremely prompt in responding and patiently clarified all our queries. From the moment we landed at Bagdogra airport, everything was beautifully organized — smooth transfers, comfortable stays, and a thoughtfully planned itinerary that allowed us to truly experience Bhutan’s serene beauty. Nothing felt rushed, and each day was well balanced. A special mention to our guide, Sangay Nidup, and our driver, Amber, who made the journey even more memorable. They were knowledgeable, patient, and always ensured our comfort. We didn’t just visit places — we experienced the culture, food, and hidden gems of Bhutan. Our package included three hikes in Thimpu, Phobijika valley and Paro. Our guide, Sangay made all hikes very enjoyable and informative sharing his past experiences. He also gave suggestions for shopping in Thimpu/Paro and took us to the local markets and helped us experience the local lifestyle. He was very helpful in taking photos during the trip. The highlight of the trip was the hike to Tiger’s Nest — challenging, but absolutely worth it. The views and the entire experience were simply magical.
