Bhutan Tours & Trips
Picture yourself flying over the Himalayas to the magical city of Paro, and visiting the historic Tashichho Dzong in Thimphu, where Bhutan's government meets in style. Hike up to the Buddha Dordenma statue that looks out over the valley, see the old Punakha Dzong at the point where two rivers meet, and trek to the famous Taktsang Monastery, perched on a cliff 3,000 feet above the valley floor.

I had a fantastic time in Bhutan. Everything went as planned. Easy and precise communication regarding visa, pick up etc. Beautiful places covered in the tour. Nice hotels. Most important was the guide, Rasel, and the driver, Lok, who made my stay in Bhutan unforgettable. Please send my thanks their way.

Bhutan is a magical country! The beauty abounds not only in the vistas but in the people. Our guide, Tandeen, was knowledgeable, helpful, had a great sense of humor and paid close attention to our interests. Our drivers were competent and personable. When adjustments to the schedule were made our comfort was foremost in the decisions. Hiking to Tiger’s Nest was a dream come true for me! Highly recommend this tour!

Best places to start your Bhutan tour
Most visitors touch down in Paro since it's got the main international airport and the much-photographed Tiger's Nest Monastery. A handful of tours kick off from the capital Thimphu after a quick drive from Paro. Here's something crucial to know - you'll want to lock in your plans about 110 days (3.5 months) before traveling. The country keeps tourism numbers limited and you'll need time to sort out the special visa and get your preferred dates, especially when festivals are happening or weather conditions are ideal. Spring brings rhododendrons painting the valleys in color from March through May and autumn offers those crystal-clear mountain views between September and November. Many of our guests love timing their visits with local Tshechus (festivals) where you can watch traditional mask dances and really dive into authentic Bhutanese culture.

Best time to visit Bhutan
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter visits to Bhutan bring something really unique, especially in Phobjikha Valley where black-necked cranes make their home from November through March. Our guests love watching these rare birds at the Royal Society for Protection of Nature center and exploring the valley paths on foot. Without summer crowds, you can take your time at cultural landmarks like Punakha Dzong. Many travelers tell us about their joy seeing snow fall while walking through small villages, and trying out traditional hot stone baths that locals use to stay warm. Winter trips usually spend extra hours inside Thimphu's craft workshops and museums, plus evening stays at farmhouses where families welcome you to help prepare Bhutanese meals by the fireplace.

March through May fills Bhutan's valleys with rhododendron flowers. Our clients particularly enjoy taking photos at Dochula Pass during these months when clear weather shows off the Himalayan peaks. Many spring routes include easy walks through pine woods to monasteries like Tango, where you can spend time with monks surrounded by blooming trees. The mild weather works perfectly for outdoor activities like walking Punakha's suspension bridge and discovering traditional villages. Several tours line up with spring festivals where you'll see masked dancing and join local celebrations.

Summer lets you experience Bhutan's greenest season, with perfect weather for hiking and meeting locals. Our travelers often talk about walking through stepped rice fields to reach temples like Khamsum Yuelley Namgyal Chorten when the paddies shine bright green. It's also an ideal time to visit high places like Tiger's Nest Monastery, with just the right temperature for the uphill walk. Many summer routes stop at local markets to try seasonal produce, and visit farmhouses where families are busy with their traditional farming work.

What our customers ask about Bhutan Tours & Trips
What Natural Areas Can You Visit Outside the Cities?
Jigme Dorji National Park is absolutely stunning it spreads across several districts and has some incredible Himalayan trekking routes. You'll need a guide and permits but it's worth it to see mountains like Jhomolhari Jitchu Drake and Tserimgang. Phobjikha Valley's another amazing spot it's protected and those endangered Black-Necked Cranes are just incredible to see you can get there by road with your guide.
