6 Days / 5 Nights
Sub-Continent - Bhutan
Bhutan caps the number of tourists it lets in every year, and it shows — no billboards, no traffic jams, and a monastery clinging to a cliff face that looks unreal until you're standing in front of it. This is the only country that measures Gross National Happiness instead of GDP, and the pace of this trip reflects that philosophy.
Best for travelers who want a culturally immersive trip with genuine scarcity value, not a beach-and-pool holiday.
Arrive at Paro's dramatic mountain-ringed airport, then hike to Paro Taktsang — the legendary Tiger's Nest Monastery perched on a cliff 900 metres above the valley.
Drive to the capital, Thimphu, for the Buddha Dordenma statue, the weekend market, and a visit to the Centenary Farmers' Market and Tashichho Dzong fortress.
Cross the Dochula Pass (108 chortens, Himalayan views permitting) en route to Punakha Dzong, set dramatically between two rivers.
Drive back to Paro for your international departure.
