Overview of Paro Thimphu Punakha Tour
The classic grand triangle of western Bhutan: historic temples of Paro, modern monarchic capital Thimphu, sub-tropical valleys of Punakha, and Phobjikha valley.
This comprehensive 7-day tour encompasses the cultural highlights of western and central Bhutan. Journey across high mountain passes adorned with prayer flags, explore the 17th-century fortress palaces of Punakha and Thimphu, wander through the glacial valley of Phobjikha (Gangtey) — winter home of the rare Black-Necked Cranes — and conquer the iconic pilgrimage trail to Taktsang (Tiger's Nest) Monastery.
Full-service Bhutan cultural holiday with private transport, certified guides, boutique heritage hotels, all meals, visa fees, and the official SDF fee.
