On Highlights of Bhutan tour we bathe in the country’s stunning scenery and vibrant culture with a combination of cultural tours and day hikes. The 14-day Bhutan village tour is the only trip that covers much of Bhutan from Paro, Thimphu and Punakha in western Bhutan to Phobjikha in central Bhutan.
While visiting Bhutanese townships and villages, we tour prominent landmarks along with dzongs (fortresses) and lhakhangs (temples) unique to this region. We also undertake several day hikes around Bumthang and to several temples which will further enrich our experience of this beautiful country. The Highlights of Bhutan Tour ends with a hike to the cliff-hanging Taktsang Monastery.
