day 1Arrival Paro - Thimphu
Arrive Paro by Bhutan’s national carrier, Druk Air, and it’s a scenic flight as the plane touch down the lush green Paro Valley flying past the world’s highest mountains. Steeping down from the plane, cool, clean and fresh air welcomes the visitor, the first gift of Bhutan. After clearing the customs and visa formalities met by the representatives and transfer to Paro for lunch.
Afterwards drive to Thimphu (one and half hrs) following Pa Chhu downstream. In Thimphu, drive on to the Buddha Terrance for a stunning view of the valley and take a drive to visit Takin Preserve to see Takin, Bhutan’s national animal - a strange looking beast which some say resembles a bee-stung moose!
Take a view of the majestic Tashichoe Dzong, the seat of the government before circumventing the Memorial Chorten – a monument erected in memory of Bhutan’s third king H.M. Jigme Dorji Wangchuk.
Visit Centenary Farmers Market, the new authentic craft bazaar, National Institute of Traditional Medicine that still dispenses traditional herbal medicines to the locals, the Folk Heritage Museum – a 300 year old traditional house converted into a museum.

My wonderful trip to Bhutan
Our trip to Bhutan with this local operator was wonderful. If anyone planning a trip to Bhutan goes with this company. They will provide you insight out and you wont regret spending the high cost. It was a pleasure for me to see beautiful and heartwarming people. The country is so rich in its culture and traditions.
One of the best tours ever!
We used this local tour operator for our trip to Bhutan. We live in Dubai and made a last-minute plan to have a breakaway for 5 days. Bharat, the owner, quickly organized our flights and visas to enter the country. I have to say from start to finish they were excellent and for us, this became a trip of a lifetime thanks to their amazing organization.
Memorable trip
I traveled to Bhutan for a week and all the arrangements were done by the local tour operator. I travel a lot, and I have never had a company be so timely with replies! so active with communication, and with thoroughly everything just running smoothly all the way. Sonam was my very expert and reliable guide, and Nima the driver, and I never worried even over the worst roads.
Bhutan was naturally unbelievable
We are finally back home and wanted to send a big thank you message from us!! Thank you all for an excellent vacation and the excellent organization of our trip! We had a splendid time in Bhutan and notably the candlelight dinner that you organized was pretty.
