Overview

The 7-day Bhutan tour package is the best combination of cultural, nature, and spiritual tours in the Land of the Thunder Dragon. It begins with an incredibly picturesque flight to Paro, which shows the view of the snowy mountains in the Himalayas. Tourists experience the unique atmosphere of Bhutan and explore the ancient dzongs, religious places of worship and serene valleys in Paro. Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan, offers an ideal blend of traditional and modern worlds, where you can visit sights such as the Buddha Dordenma, Memorial Chorten, and Tashichho Dzong.

Then follow a scenic drive up Dochula Pass, amidst the waving prayer flags and 108 chortens, down to Punakha Valley, to the spectacular Punakha Dzong, and to the fertility temple of Chimi Lhakhang. Visiting Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten, a walk up to the top of the hill will afford you sweeping panoramic views of the valley, and hiking in the Gangtey and Phobjikha valleys will enable you to witness pristine nature, particularly in the season when black-necked cranes are on display. At the end of the tour, you will be shown the legendary walk up to Taktsang Monastery, which is also called Tiger Nest, located on a dangerous mountain.

Your Journey from Kathmandu to Bhutan—What Awaits You: 6 Nights, 7 Days

Your wildlife adventure begins with an eye-opening Kathmandu to Paro flight, one of the most picturesque air routes in the world that offers Himalayan views. By the time you arrive at the Land of the Thunder Dragon in Bhutan, you have already been initiated into a world where culture and spiritual heritage are joined with clean landscapes and all the elements are perfectly blended together. The 7-day Bhutan tour takes you around the most popular sites in Bhutan, starting with the capital, Thimphu, where you will visit Buddha Dordenma, Tashichho Dzong and the memorial Chorten.

Passing through Dochula Pass, you will be enchanted by stunning Himalayan scenery and 108 chortens on your way to Punakha Valley, where you will visit the magnificent Punakha Dzong and the holy Chimi Lhakhang. The breathtaking view of the valley will make the ascent of Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten worthwhile. Then we will visit Gangtey and Phobjikha Valley to find out what a glacier valley should be like in a million years and to see gorgeous black-necked cranes, which we can observe in winter. On the way back to Paro, the historic hike to the Tiger’s Nest Monastery will be the best part of your visit, as it is perched on a cliff dramatically. This tour offers an unforgettable experience of Bhutan’s beauty, traditions, and spirituality.

Meals and Cuisines During the 6 Nights / 7 Days Bhutan Tour

Bhutan is a food place and you will have an opportunity to enjoy the authentic food of the country as well as the familiar food during your 6 Nights Bhutan Cultural Holiday Package. Most hotels and restaurants offer a blend of Bhutanese, Indian, Tibetan, and continental dishes to ensure everyone’s satisfaction.

Breakfasts are mostly made of eggs, bread, cereals, fresh fruits and tea or coffee and lunches and dinners are made of wholesome meals, which are served buffet-style. The typical Bhutanese cuisine is said to be straightforward, healthy, and daring, often with the addition of chillies and cheese. Famous dishes are Ema Datshi (cooked chillies in hot cheese sauce), Kewa Datshi (potatoes cooked in hot cheese), Shakam Paa (dried beef cooked with chillies) and red rice, a staple grain found in Bhutan. The meals are supplemented by seasonal vegetables, thick soups, and dumplings (momos).

Those who enjoy mild Indian curries often find Tibetan noodles and international food. Food in Bhutan is not only food but also about sharing culture and hospitality. Whether it’s a historical dining experience with the locals or organic farm-fresh food, the food adds to your whole travel experience and makes the Bhutanese journey as pleasing to the mouth as it is to the heart.
