The complete western loop — Paro, Thimphu, Punakha and the glacial Gangtey valley — for travellers who want the fullest picture of the kingdom in one trip.
Seven days covering the full western circuit: the two dzongs everyone should see, plus the quieter glacial valley of Phobjikha that most five-day itineraries skip. This is our most-booked multi-region tour package for travellers with a week to spend and no interest in rushing.
Punakha Dzong and the Mo Chhu river valley
Phobjikha valley, winter home to the black-necked crane
Gangtey Monastery on its hilltop above the valley
Dochula Pass’s 108 memorial chortens
Tiger’s Nest Monastery on the final day
Meet your guide at Paro airport and drive to Thimphu, stopping at the Buddha Dordenma statue en route.
Tashichho Dzong, the National Memorial Chorten, and the Motithang Takin Preserve, home to Bhutan’s national animal.
Cross Dochula Pass, stopping at the 108 chortens, then descend into the warmer Punakha valley for an afternoon at Punakha Dzong.
Drive through Wangdue to the Phobjikha valley. Visit Gangtey Monastery and take a gentle nature walk along the valley floor.
A full day at a slower pace — the Black-Necked Crane Information Centre, a village walk, and time simply sitting with the view.
Drive back through Punakha and Wangdue to Paro, with a stop at Chimi Lhakhang if time allows.
The climb to Paro Taktsang, then a final lunch in the valley before your flight home.
