3N / 4D
The short, honest introduction — capital, fortress, valley — for travellers with a long weekend and a real curiosity.
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.
Real photographs from the valleys these itineraries run through — festivals, fortresses, and the birds that fly in over the Himalaya every winter.
A tsechu is the district’s religious festival, held on the tenth day of a lunar month in the courtyard of its dzong. Monks in carved masks dance the cham — each movement a teaching, not a performance — while whole valleys arrive in their best kira and gho and spread lunch out on the stone.
Dates move every year with the Bhutanese calendar. Tell us your month and we will tell you which festival it falls on, then build the trip around it.

We crossed Dochula on a clear morning and the guide stopped the car without being asked — he knew the Himalaya would be out for about twenty minutes. Punakha Dzong after that was the most beautiful building I have stood inside. Permits at Phuentsholing took forty minutes, all handled.

Did the Tiger’s Nest climb at 41 and unfit. Our guide set a pace I could actually hold, made us stop at the cafeteria for an hour, and got us up and down in five. No pressure, no drama. The private car the whole way meant we ran on our own clock, not a group’s.

Travelled with my parents (72 and 68) and was nervous about the roads. The vehicle was clean, the driver drove slowly on the passes without us asking twice, and the hotels in Thimphu and Paro had lifts, which nobody else bothered to check. Small things, but they made the trip possible.

Honeymoon — six days through Thimphu, Punakha and Haa. Chele La at sunrise with the prayer flags going for a kilometre along the ridge is the photograph everyone in our family now has framed. They also told us honestly that a 4-day trip would have been a waste, which is how we ended up with six.

Booked over WhatsApp entirely, which made me sceptical, then got a written itinerary with costs broken out including the SDF — no surprises later. Replies came within the hour, including while we were in Bhutan and wanted to change a day.
Went in January for the black-necked cranes at Phobjikha. Cold, empty, and worth every layer. Group of eleven of us and they still kept it feeling private. The archery afternoon in Thimphu was the bit our kids talk about, not the monasteries.
