Nothing here quite right?

Many of our guests travel on a plan we built from scratch: a honeymoon in luxury lodges, a family trip with archery and farm stays, a birding route through the south, or two weeks in Eastern Bhutan.

Choosing a trip length

  • 4–5 daysParo, Thimphu and Punakha. Enough for a first impression.
  • 7–9 daysAdd Phobjikha and Haa, at an unhurried pace. Our most popular length.
  • 10–14 daysCross into central Bhutan: Trongsa and the temples of Bumthang.
  • 14+ daysEastern Bhutan, longer treks, or a tour combined with a trek.
