During this journey, immerse yourself further by walking to visit villages, farms, monasteries, and ancient temples from towns of Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, Wangdue Phodrang, and even venturing deep into the Gangtey, Trongsa and Bumthang District. While traveling between destinations, we’ll make impromptu stops at local villages, adding an authentic touch to your exploration. The day hikes are easy to moderate, and if preferred, you can choose to opt-out of them while still enjoying the essence of the trip.

We wholeheartedly believe that walking is the most enriching way to savor and encounter Bhutan’s beauty, a philosophy that underscores the tried-and-tested nature of this itinerary honed over the years.
