Day 1 Arrival in Phuentsholing - Thimphu
On arrival at Phuentsholing, after processing the entry permits, begin your scenic journey to Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan.

On reaching Thimphu, check into your hotel and spend the evening at leisure. You may take a stroll through the charming streets of Thimphu town. Overnight stay in Thimphu.
Explore the cultural and modern fusion of Thimphu, Bhutan’s bustling capital. Visit the Buddha Dordenma, one of the largest Buddha statues in the world, located at Kuenselphodrang Nature Park. Head to the National Memorial Chorten, built in memory of the Third Druk Gyalpo and dedicated to world peace. At the Folk Heritage Museum, get insights into traditional Bhutanese life, followed by a visit to the Royal Textile Museum, which beautifully showcases Bhutan’s weaving culture. Stroll through the Authentic Bhutanese Crafts Market for handmade souvenirs and observe local life at Clock Tower Square, the city’s vibrant center. In the evening, visit Kaja Throm, a modern market and recreational park with food stalls, dinosaur models, and occasional cultural shows. Overnight stay in Thimphu.
After a leisurely breakfast, drive to Punakha, a region rich in Bhutanese history. En route, stop at the Dochula Pass, offering panoramic views of the Himalayas and 108 chortens. Visit the Chimi Lhakhang, also known as the Fertility Temple, with a scenic walk through Mesina village. Upon reaching Punakha, explore the stunning Punakha Dzong, one of the most beautiful and historically significant fortresses in Bhutan. End the day with a walk on the Punakha Suspension Bridge, the second-longest in the country, offering views of the Pho Chu and Mo Chu rivers. Overnight stay in Punakha.
Drive to the beautiful glacial valley of Phobjikha, often called the “Mini Switzerland of Bhutan” for its sweeping green meadows and serenity. Visit the hilltop Gangtey Monastery, a seat of the Nyingmapa school and the Pema Lingpa tradition. At the Black-Necked Crane Centre, learn about the rare birds that migrate to this valley every winter. In the evening, enjoy a walk around the valley and interact with the warm locals—this is a perfect chance for some memorable photography. Overnight stay in Phobjikha.

Then proceed to the Rinpung Dzong, a remarkable example of Bhutanese architecture. Overnight stay in Paro.
Today, take a scenic drive to Chele La Pass, the highest motorable road in Bhutan. From here, on a clear day, enjoy spectacular views of Mt. Jomolhari and the Paro and Haa Valleys. The area, adorned with fluttering prayer flags, is perfect for photography and spiritual reflection.

After breakfast, embark on a memorable hike to Taktsang Lhakhang (Tiger’s Nest Monastery), Bhutan’s most iconic landmark. Clinging to a sheer cliff 900m above the Paro Valley, this sacred site is believed to have been blessed by Guru Padmasambhava. The hike, though challenging, offers immense spiritual and scenic rewards. In the evening, drive back to Phuentsholing. Overnight in Phuentsholing or continue as per your travel plan.

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.
