Essential Bhutan
Tour Overview
Discover the incredible charm of Bhutan on this action-packed Thimphu Paro tour package, a 5-day, 4-night trip through the kingdom's two most iconic valleys. You'll explore Thimphu, the quirky capital where hand-signaled traffic replaces traffic lights, and Paro, home to the legendary Tiger's Nest Monastery.
The trip begins with a drive from Paro International Airport to Thimphu, where you'll spend two nights settling in and exploring. Highlights include the National Memorial Chorten, the towering golden Buddha statue overlooking the valley, the Takin Zoo home to Bhutan's unusual national animal and the Folk Heritage Museum, followed by shopping at Clock Tower Square.
From Thimphu, the trip moves to Paro for two nights. Here you'll visit the majestic Paro Dzong fortress, the Ta Dzong National Museum, and Kyichu Lhakhang, one of Bhutan's oldest sacred temples. The standout day is the hike to Tiger's Nest Monastery, clinging to a cliff 900 meters above the valley — with a gentler alternative available for those who prefer a shorter walk.
Accommodation covers Hotel Kisa in Thimphu and Mandala Resort in Paro, with private ground transport and guided sightseeing throughout. This Thimphu Paro tour package suits travellers wanting Bhutan's highlights without an overpacked schedule.
