Discover Bhutan, Simply
Well-planned journeys with everything essential taken care of
Every Standard journey includes a private vehicle with an English-speaking licensed guide, comfortable 3-star tourist-standard hotels, all meals, and the Sustainable Development Fee — so you can focus on Bhutan itself. Choose from eight itineraries, from a 5-day introduction to a 14-day journey from west to east.

Our Standard Itineraries
Eight journeys, from short breaks to cross-country expeditions
5D / 4N
Bhutan Essentials
Paro, Thimphu and Punakha — Bhutan’s three most important valleys, ancient dzongs, the longest suspension bridge and the Tiger’s Nest hike, without rushed transfers.
6D / 5N
Western Bhutan Explorer
The three core valleys plus a day trip over Chele La Pass (3,988 m) into the remote Haa Valley and its 7th-century White and Black Temples.
7D / 6N
The Bhutan Discovery
Paro, Thimphu and Punakha, then onward to the glacial Phobjikha Valley — winter home of the black-necked cranes — and the Gangtey Nature Trail.
7D / 6N
Bhutan in a Week
A balanced first-time introduction with two unhurried nights each in Thimphu, Punakha and Paro, a weaver’s studio visit and the Tiger’s Nest hike.
8D / 7N
Bhutan Beyond the Postcard
Iconic landmarks alongside rural secrets — paper-making with artisans, a riverside picnic, farmhouse meals and a Dotsho hot stone bath.
10D / 9N
The Bhutan Journey
Our flagship journey into Central Bhutan — five valleys, Trongsa Dzong and Bumthang’s sacred temples, with a scenic domestic flight back to Paro.
12D / 11N
Dragon Kingdom Grand Tour
West, Central and Eastern Bhutan — Thrumshing La Pass, clifftop Trashigang Dzong and Radhi’s silk weavers, with a domestic flight from Yonphula.

Bhutan from West to East
Our most expansive overland odyssey — Tang Valley, Mebar Tsho, Khaling’s handloom heritage and the nomadic Brokpa herders of Merak.
