Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Arrival at Bagdogra – Phuentsholing
Upon your arrival at Bagdogra Airport, you’ll be greeted by your guide or driver who will escort you to Phuentsholing, a bustling border town nestled at the foothills of the Himalayas (approx. 4–5 hours drive). After checking in at your hotel, complete the immigration formalities required for entry into Bhutan. In the evening, you can explore the peaceful Zangto Pelri Lhakhang, a charming temple representing the heavenly abode of Guru Rinpoche. Enjoy your first night in Bhutan with an overnight stay in Phuentsholing.
After breakfast, begin your scenic drive to Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan (approx. 5–6 hours). On the way, stop at Kharbandi Gompa, a beautiful monastery surrounded by lush gardens offering panoramic views of the plains below. Upon reaching Thimphu, check in at your hotel and set out to explore a few of its highlights, including the towering Buddha Dordenma Statue and the National Memorial Chorten. In the evening, take a leisurely stroll through the town’s lively streets and browse local handicrafts. Overnight stay in Thimphu.
Start your day with visits to the Tashichho Dzong, a striking fortress housing both government offices and monastic institutions, and the Folk Heritage Museum, which offers a glimpse into Bhutanese rural life. You’ll also visit the National Institute for Zorig Chusum, known as the Painting School. Later, drive to Punakha via the breathtaking Dochula Pass (3,100m), where 108 memorial chortens stand against the backdrop of Himalayan peaks. In Punakha, visit the grand Punakha Dzong at the confluence of the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers. End the day with a short hike to Chimi Lhakhang, the Fertility Temple. Overnight stay in Punakha.
After breakfast, journey onward to Paro, a serene valley rich in history and natural beauty (approx. 4 hours drive). Upon arrival, visit the majestic Rinpung Dzong, a fortress-monastery with striking architecture. Continue to Ta Dzong, which houses Bhutan’s National Museum, featuring artifacts, art, and cultural relics. In the evening, stroll through the quaint town center, lined with shops and local cafés. Overnight stay in Paro.
Today is a highlight of the trip as you embark on a hike to the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery, perched dramatically on a cliff 900 meters above the Paro Valley. The 4–5 hour round-trip trek is a spiritual and scenic journey, offering breathtaking views along the way. After descending, you may visit Kyichu Lhakhang, one of Bhutan’s oldest and most revered temples. Spend the evening unwinding at your hotel or sampling traditional Bhutanese cuisine at a local restaurant. Overnight stay in Paro.
Post breakfast, drive back to Phuentsholing, enjoying the scenic beauty of the mountains and valleys (approx. 5–6 hours). After checking in to your hotel, the rest of the day is at leisure. You can explore the town’s local markets and prepare for your departure. Overnight stay in Phuentsholing.
After breakfast, begin your return journey to Bagdogra Airport (approx. 4–5 hours drive). With fond memories of Bhutan’s rich culture, serene landscapes, and spiritual essence, board your flight for onward travel.

Ritu • 2 days ago

I recently completed a Bhutan trip from 20th April to 26th April booked through (Read More)Asia Valleys Tours and Travels via Holidify, and it turned out to be a truly memorable experience. From the very beginning, everything was well organized and smooth. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, allowing enough time to explore while still feeling relaxed and enjoyable. Every destination in Bhutan felt special, and the arrangements throughout the journey were handled with great care. Mr. Bharat Gurung, the owner of Asia Valleys Tours and Travels, was very supportive and responsive. He stayed in touch during the planning stage, clarified all details properly, and made sure everything was aligned before the trip started. Even during the trip, he was reachable and checked in when needed, which made things feel more reliable. A big part of what made this trip so enjoyable was our guide, Sangay, and our driver, Dechen. Sangay was incredibly knowledgeable and shared deep insights about Bhutanese culture, history, and traditions in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. He was always attentive, patient, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. Dechen, our driver, was equally wonderful. His driving was safe and smooth, even on the winding mountain roads, which made the journeys between destinations very comfortable. He was always punctual, polite, and had a calm and friendly presence that added to the overall experience. What truly stood out was the warmth, respect, and positivity both Sangay and Dechen brought to the trip. They were not just guide and driver, but became an important part of the journey—making it fun, stress-free, and filled with good moments. Their coordination and support throughout ensured that everything ran seamlessly. Overall, the trip was a perfect mix of scenic beauty, cultural experiences, and genuine hospitality. The professionalism and dedication shown by the entire team made this journey truly special.
