Dear Valued Guest,

Greetings from Allways Tours and Travel! We are delighted to present you with this exclusive Bhutan tour package, carefully designed to offer an authentic and enriching experience in the Land of the Thunder Dragon. Bhutan is one of the world’s most unique travel destinations — a kingdom that measures its progress in Gross National Happiness, where ancient culture and pristine nature exist in perfect harmony.

Package Overview

Day-by-Day Itinerary

  DAY 1: Arrival at Paro – Thimphu Sightseeing (11th May)

Upon arrival at Paro International Airport, our representative will warmly welcome you and assist with all immigration formalities. You will then embark on a scenic drive to Thimphu, Bhutan’s vibrant capital city and the residence of the Royal Family.

Highlights of the day include:

• Buddha Point (Buddha Dordenma) – One of the world’s largest Buddha statues, offering panoramic views of the Thimphu valley
• Simply Bhutan – An immersive living museum showcasing traditional Bhutanese crafts, architecture, and culture
• National Memorial Chorten – An iconic stupa built in memory of the third King of Bhutan
• Changangkha Lhakhang – One of Thimphu’s oldest and most revered monasteries, perched on a ridge above the city
• Tashichho Dzong – The majestic fortress that serves as the Secretariat Building and the Throne Room of His Majesty the King

Overnight stay in Thimphu.

  DAY 2: Thimphu to Punakha Sightseeing (12th May)

After a hearty breakfast, depart for Punakha — the former capital of Bhutan, approximately 73 km (around 3 hours) from Thimphu. En route, cross the spectacular Dochula Pass (3,100 m / 10,170 ft), adorned with 108 memorial chortens and offering breathtaking views of the Eastern Himalayas on clear days.

Punakha, situated at an altitude of 1,300 m / 4,265 ft and blessed with a warm subtropical climate, is nourished by the confluence of the Pho Chhu (Father River) and Mo Chhu (Mother River).

Key sightseeing stops include:

• Punakha Dzong (‘Palace of Great Happiness’) – Built in the 17th century, this magnificent fortress is the winter residence of Je Khenpo (Chief Abbot) and over 1,000 monks
• Punakha Suspension Bridge – One of Bhutan’s oldest and most scenic suspension bridges, draped in prayer flags and stretching over the Pho Chhu River
• Chimi Lhakhang (Temple of Fertility) – A revered 15th-century pilgrimage site built by the famous Buddhist master Drukpa Kunley

Overnight stay in Punakha.

  DAY 3: Punakha to Paro Sightseeing (13th May)

This morning, make your way back to Paro — one of Bhutan’s most picturesque valleys, home to historic dzongs, ancient monasteries, and lush terraced farmlands.

Paro sightseeing highlights:

• Rinpung Dzong – Built in 1646 by the unifier of Bhutan, Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, this perfectly symmetrical fortress-monastery is a masterpiece of Bhutanese architecture
• Ta Dzong (National Museum of Bhutan) – A hilltop watchtower converted into a museum housing Bhutanese art, artefacts, and postal history
• Drugyel Dzong (Ruins of the Victorious Fortress) – Located 18 km north of Paro town, this historic ruin stands as a testament to Bhutanese courage in repelling 17th-century Tibetan invasions

Overnight stay in Paro.

  DAY 4: Departure from Paro Airport (14th May)

After a leisurely breakfast at your hotel, our representative will transfer you to Paro International Airport (approximately 48 km / 1 hour 30 minutes) for your onward journey.

As you bid farewell to this extraordinary kingdom, carry with you the lasting memories of its radiant Himalayan landscapes, warm-hearted people, and a culture that has stood the test of time. We at Allways Tours and Travel hope you depart with a heart full of joy and a strong desire to return to the Kingdom of Happiness — Bhutan.
