3N / 4D
The short, honest introduction — capital, fortress, valley — for travellers with a long weekend and a real curiosity.
4N / 5D
Thimphu and Paro at a pace that leaves room for a slow lunch and an unplanned temple.
4N / 5D
Built around the walk to Taktsang, with the days either side kept deliberately quiet.
5N / 6D
Thimphu, Punakha and Paro — the three valleys that most people mean when they say Bhutan.
5N / 6D
The fortresses and the cliff monastery, in one unhurried week.
6N / 7D
A full week in the west, with two nights in Punakha and a proper rest day.
6N / 7D
For the high passes — Dochula, Chele La and the ridgelines above Haa.
7N / 8D
Eight days, three valleys, and enough slack in the schedule for the country to surprise you.
7N / 8D
Adds the Haa valley — the quietest corner of western Bhutan and the one almost nobody visits.
8N / 9D
Pushes east to Phobjikha — glacial valley, black-necked cranes, and no phone signal worth speaking of.
8N / 9D
The west in full depth — hikes, workshops, a farmhouse dinner and a hot stone bath.
9N / 10D
Ten days across four valleys, including Gangtey and the high Chele La ridge.
10N / 11D
All the way east to Bumthang — the spiritual heartland, four valleys deep.
2N / 3D
Two nights, one capital, and the border crossing that still feels like stepping through a door in the mountains.
6N / 7D
Built around a tsechu — masked cham dances in a dzong courtyard, once a year, in front of the whole valley.
5N / 6D
Over the highest road pass in the country into a valley that only opened to visitors in 2002.
6N / 7D
The glacial valley where three hundred black-necked cranes spend every winter, and the monastery that watches them arrive.
7N / 8D
The spiritual heartland without the two-day drive — fly Paro to Bumthang and keep the days for the valleys themselves.
Send us your dates and we will tell you honestly which of these fits — and which does not.
