Bhutan Encompassed Tour is an excellent opportunity to explore Bhutanese art, architecture, culture, and tradition. This tour encloses three major cities in Bhutan i.e. Thimpu, Paro, and Punakha. Thimpu provides a close encounter with ancient cultural and historical monasteries, shrines, and monuments.

Paro offers colorful characteristics of Bhutan. And, Punakha contains old monasteries and offers a decent opportunity to absorb more about Buddhism. Punakha is the old and Thimpu is the new capital cities of Bhutan.

The most interesting characteristic of this tour is the exploration of the Taktsang Monastery hanging in the upright cliff. This monastery is also popularly known as ‘Tiger’s Nest’. On the way of Thimphu to Punakha is the Dochula Pass at an elevation of 3,140 meters which provides amazing all-encompassing perspectives of the snow-topped mountains towards the north in a sunny morning.

The view of Thimpu is perfectly observed from Buddha’s point in Thimpu. It gives the most beautiful view of this tiny capital. Likewise, Punakha Dzong, Kyichu-Lhakhang (oldest temple in Bhutan) are the most attractive and visited monasteries and shrines with their own cultural importance.

The tour starts from Paro, then goes to Thimpu, then to Punakha, and again to Paro; hence Paro is the starting and ending point of this tour. This tour encircling three primary cities is the perfect way to witness Bhutan and its pristine sights and sounds.

Itinerary

Expand AllCollapse All

    Your Bhutan journey begins as you land at Paro International Airport, one of the most scenic airports in the world, nestled in a narrow valley surrounded by snow-capped Himalayan peaks. Depending on your flight, you may arrive in the morning or early afternoon, greeted by the crisp mountain air and the serene beauty of the Paro Valley. After clearing customs, you will embark on a scenic 1.5 to 2-hour drive to Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan, which sits at an altitude of 2,350 meters.

    The drive itself is a spectacular introduction to Bhutan’s dramatic landscapes. As you wind along the valley roads, you will pass terraced fields, traditional farmhouses with ornate wooden windows, and small rivers meandering through the lush green valleys. The road gradually ascends, offering stunning views of the surrounding Himalayan foothills and distant snow-capped peaks that shimmer in the sunlight. On clear days, the contrast of verdant valleys against the white Himalayan summits makes for incredible photo opportunities, and your guide will point out significant landmarks along the way, giving you insight into the local culture and history.

    Upon reaching Thimphu, you can stretch your legs with a short walk through the town, which balances modernity with Bhutanese tradition. You may visit the National Memorial Chorten, a prominent spiritual monument built in honor of the third King of Bhutan, where locals perform their daily prayers and rituals. The evening offers a perfect opportunity to explore Thimphu’s quaint streets, catch glimpses of artisans at work, and enjoy your first taste of traditional Bhutanese cuisine at a local restaurant.

    This first day provides a gentle introduction to Bhutan’s culture, history, and Himalayan landscapes, allowing you to acclimatize while soaking in the serene and spiritual atmosphere of the kingdom. By the time you settle into your hotel in Thimphu, you will feel both inspired and relaxed, ready to begin the cultural and scenic explorations in the days ahead.

      After an early breakfast in Thimphu, you will begin your scenic drive toward Punakha, Bhutan’s former capital, covering approximately 75–80 kilometers over 3–4 hours of travel, depending on stops. The journey is considered one of the most picturesque drives in Bhutan, winding through dense forests, terraced hillsides, and quaint villages that showcase rural Bhutanese life. As you ascend toward the Dochula Pass at 3,140 meters, the landscape transforms into a serene high-altitude vista. On clear days, the pass offers panoramic views of the eastern Himalayan peaks, often dusted with snow, providing breathtaking photo opportunities that travelers remember for a lifetime.

      The Dochula Pass is also renowned for its 108 memorial chortens (stupas), built in honor of Bhutanese soldiers, which add a spiritual and cultural depth to the landscape. This stop usually lasts 30–45 minutes, giving travelers time to explore the area, take photos, and soak in the peaceful atmosphere while observing local pilgrims who may be circling the chortens in quiet prayer. The crisp mountain air, prayer flags fluttering against the backdrop of the peaks, and the serene silence of the Himalayas create an unforgettable sensory experience.

      Descending from Dochula, the road winds gently down into the fertile Punakha Valley, where rice paddies, flowing rivers, and traditional Bhutanese farmhouses dot the landscape. The valley sits at a lower altitude of 1,310 meters, providing a warmer, lush contrast to the cooler heights of Dochula. Upon arrival in Punakha, you will visit the Punakha Dzong, a masterpiece of Bhutanese architecture located at the confluence of the Mo Chhu and Pho Chhu rivers. Guided exploration of the dzong offers insights into Bhutanese history, religion, and governance, highlighting its status as the former administrative and religious capital.

      The rest of the afternoon can be spent enjoying a leisurely walk along the suspension bridge, capturing reflections of the dzong in the river below, or simply taking in the peaceful atmosphere of the valley. Altogether, the day offers a perfect blend of cultural immersion, Himalayan scenery, and spiritual reflection, making it one of the most memorable segments of the Bhutan Encompassed Tour.

        After an early breakfast, you will begin your journey from Punakha back to Paro, retracing parts of the scenic route through the Dochula Pass. The morning drive, lasting approximately 3–4 hours, offers another chance to marvel at the panoramic vistas of the Himalayan peaks to the east, often dusted with snow. As you ascend Dochula Pass again, the 108 chortens (stupas) that line the pass appear bathed in the soft morning light, creating a serene and almost spiritual atmosphere. On clear days, the high Himalayan mountains provide a breathtaking backdrop, making it an ideal spot for photography and quiet reflection.

        Midway through the journey, you will stop at Thimphu for lunch, giving you a chance to stretch your legs and absorb the contrast between the tranquil Punakha Valley and the bustling capital city. The drive from Thimphu to Paro takes roughly 2.5–3 hours, winding through lush valleys and terraced farmlands dotted with traditional Bhutanese homes. The roads are lined with dense forests, and occasional viewpoints allow for glimpses of distant monasteries perched atop hillsides.

        Upon arrival in Paro, the afternoon is dedicated to a short hike to the 15th-century Zurig Lhakhang, a small yet historically significant temple overlooking Paro Dzong. The hike, which takes around 45–60 minutes, is gentle and accessible, offering a perfect combination of light activity and cultural immersion. From the temple, you can enjoy panoramic views of Ta Dzong, the iconic watchtower-turned-museum, and the majestic Paro Rinpung Dzong, meaning “the fortress of the heap of jewels”, with its ornate architecture and intricately painted walls reflecting Bhutanese heritage.

        Descending from the temple, a brief walk brings you to the covered cantilever bridge, a striking structure adorned with giant stupas and traditional Bhutanese woodwork. The bridge spans the Paro River, offering reflections of the surrounding mountains in the clear waters below, and gives a tangible sense of Bhutan’s architectural ingenuity and spiritual symbolism. After this immersive afternoon of heritage and scenic beauty, you will return to your hotel in Paro for a comfortable overnight stay, reflecting on the blend of culture, history, and Himalayan landscapes experienced throughout the day.

          Today is the highlight of your Bhutan journey: the Tiger’s Nest Monastery, a spiritual and architectural marvel perched on a cliffside 900 meters above the Paro Valley. The day begins with an early breakfast at your hotel in Paro. From there, a short drive of about 10–15 minutes takes you to the base of the trail, where the hike begins.

          The hike itself typically takes 2–3 hours one way, depending on your pace and acclimatization. The trail winds through a pristine pine forest, dotted with prayer flags, chortens, and small waterfalls. Along the way, you can stop at quaint resting points and viewpoints that offer breathtaking panoramic vistas of the Paro Valley below, surrounded by the jagged peaks of the Himalayas. The combination of the verdant forests, cascading streams, and fluttering prayer flags makes the approach to the monastery a deeply immersive experience, both visually and spiritually.

          Midway through the hike, many travelers pause at a charming café perched on the mountainside, providing refreshments and another opportunity to enjoy the sweeping views. From here, the cliff-face monastery gradually comes into view, its white walls and golden roofs appearing to cling impossibly to the rock. This moment is often described as awe-inspiring, giving a sense of Bhutan’s unique blending of spirituality and natural beauty.

          Reaching the Tiger’s Nest Monastery, you can explore its sacred halls, chapels, and meditation rooms. Guided explanations illuminate the legend of Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava), who is said to have flown to this site on the back of a tigress, blessing the monastery. The monastery is active, and you may witness monks performing rituals, adding an authentic spiritual dimension to the visit.

          The return hike usually takes around 1.5–2 hours, allowing you time to savor the valley views from different angles. The total hiking duration for the day can range from 4–6 hours, including breaks, depending on how long you spend at viewpoints and the monastery itself. After descending, you’ll return to Paro, arriving in the afternoon or early evening, with plenty of time to rest or explore Paro town before dinner.

          This day combines moderate physical activity, Himalayan scenery, and profound cultural immersion, making the Tiger’s Nest Hike a truly unforgettable experience of Bhutan’s heritage and spiritual life.

            On the final day of your Bhutan Encompassed Tour, your journey in the “Land of the Thunder Dragon” comes to a gentle close. After a relaxed breakfast at your hotel in Paro, you’ll have some time to soak in the morning tranquility of the valley. The crisp Himalayan air, the sight of colorful prayer flags fluttering against the backdrop of green hills, and the distant snow-capped peaks create a serene atmosphere, making it a perfect moment for reflection on your cultural and spiritual journey through Bhutan.

            You will then be assisted by your Bhutanese representative in completing all departure formalities at Paro Airport. The airport itself is nestled in a valley surrounded by rolling hills, offering stunning views even as you check in. The flight to your home country will allow you to gaze down on the Paro Valley one last time — the terraced fields, traditional houses, and winding rivers creating a patchwork of Bhutanese life from above. If the weather is clear, the dramatic Himalayan peaks, including the snow-dusted ridges you passed on Dochula Pass, will remain etched in your memory from your window seat.

            Although the duration at the airport and in-flight is relatively short (typically 1–2 hours to reach Kathmandu if connecting internationally, or longer depending on your route), the emotional impact of the departure is significant. You leave with lasting impressions of Bhutan’s heritage, vibrant culture, and majestic landscapes, taking home memories of sacred monasteries, ancient dzongs, and the warm hospitality of the Bhutanese people. As the plane ascends and the valley shrinks beneath you, a sense of gratitude and fulfillment accompanies your final goodbye to this legendary Dragon Kingdom

Credit and debit cards are accepted in major hotels, restaurants, and some shops, but cash is recommended for remote areas and smaller towns. ATMs are available in Thimphu and Paro, but they may not be reliable in rural areas, so it is best to carry sufficient cash for your daily needs during the tour.

            Bhutan has good mobile network coverage in main cities like Thimphu, Paro, and Punakha, but it may be limited in remote areas and mountain passes. Local SIM cards are available for tourists and are a convenient way to stay connected for calls, messaging, and internet use. International roaming from your home country can also work but may be expensive, so getting a local SIM is often the best choice.

            Wi-Fi is available in most hotels and some cafes, but the speed may vary, especially in rural areas. While traveling through villages and monasteries, mobile networks may drop, so it’s recommended to download maps, guides, and emergency contacts in advance. Keeping a power bank or portable charger is helpful during day trips and hikes like the Tiger’s Nest Monastery hike to ensure you stay connected when needed.

              My Bhutan Encompassed Tour: A Much-Needed Break From Work Stress

              After months of long work hours and burnout, I decided to take a proper break—somewhere calm, cultural, and meaningful. Bhutan had always been on my list, and while researching tour options, I came across Nepal Trek Adventure through a travel forum. What caught my attention was how personalized their responses felt right from the start.

              Instead of pushing a sale, NTA focused on understanding what I wanted from the trip. The Bhutan Encompassed Tour fit perfectly into my limited holiday time. Once I arrived in Nepal, the pre-tour briefing made everything feel stress-free—exactly what I needed.

              Bhutan turned out to be the perfect escape. Thimphu’s relaxed pace, the peaceful drive over Dochula Pass, and the quiet charm of Punakha helped me disconnect completely. The Tiger’s Nest hike was surprisingly therapeutic; it gave me time to reflect and slow down.

              This tour wasn’t rushed, and that made all the difference. I returned home mentally refreshed and grateful. Nepal Trek Adventure handled everything professionally, allowing me to truly enjoy my time. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a genuine break from everyday life

              I traveled to Bhutan as part of a small personal group, and coordination was extremely important for us. Nepal Trek Adventure came recommended by a friend who had previously traveled with them, and from the first conversation, they proved to be very organized and attentive.

              Our group arrived with different expectations, but the Bhutan Encompassed Tour balanced culture, scenery, and comfort beautifully. The transitions between Paro, Thimphu, and Punakha were smooth, and the timing was ideal for group travel.

              One of the things we appreciated most was how flexible the tour felt. We never felt like “just another group.” The highlight for many of us was the scenic drive via Dochula Pass and the shared accomplishment of completing the Tiger’s Nest hike together.

              NTA ensured that every detail was handled properly, making the group dynamic relaxed and enjoyable. I would gladly recommend Nepal Trek Adventure for anyone planning a small group tour to Bhutan.
