Short & scenic
Bhutan Vistas Tour
Short on time, big on Bhutan — the essential highlights of Paro and Thimphu in five easy days.
The journey
What makes it unforgettable.
A perfectly-formed first taste of the kingdom for travellers with a tight schedule. In five unhurried days you see the two valleys that define Bhutan — Paro and the capital Thimphu — without ever feeling rushed.
The centrepiece is the hike to the Tiger's Nest, Bhutan's most sacred and photographed monastery, balanced on its cliff. Around it we fit dzongs, temples, the giant Buddha Dordenma and a taste of Bhutanese food and craft.
Ideal as a standalone escape or an add-on to a Nepal or Tibet journey.
