7D6N BHUTAN ADVENTURE

Welcome to the Home to spectacular scenery and fascinating culture that remains relatively untouched by mass tourism. Bhutan is one of 49 landlocked countries in the world, which means the country is almost or entirely surrounded by land. Experience the rich cultural diversity and witness the colourful religious festivals that are celebrated throughout the country.

Exceptional Experiences:

• Tashichho Dzong: Make a visit to Tashichho Dzong, which has been the seat of the government since 1952 and in the present day, it houses the throne room and offices of the king, the secretariat and the ministries of home affairs and finance.
• The Buddha Dordenma Statue: The Buddha Dordenma is located atop a hill in Kuenselphodrang Nature Park and overlooks the Southern entrance to Thimphu Valley. This massive statue of Shakyamuni measures in at a height of 51.5 m, making it one of the largest statues of Buddha in the world. The statue is made of bronze and is gilded in gold.
• Druk Wangyal Chortens : The construction of these 108 chortens was commissioned by the eldest Queen Mother, Her Majesty Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuk to commemorate the lives of the Bhutanese soldiers killed in the 2003 war against insurgents from India. The pass is also a popular spiritual destination for both locals and tourists because an important temple is located on the crest of Dochula pass which gives a stunning view of the snow-capped Eastern Himalayas range.
• Chimi Lhakhang: It is located near Sopsokha village in the Punakha District of Bhutan. Pilgrims and tourists have to trek for 20 minutes through the agricultural fields of rice and mustard to access the monastery. Built over half a millennium ago, it’s one of the oldest monasteries in Bhutan.
• Taktsang Lhakhang: Taktsang Lhakhang is Bhutan’s famed and iconic landmark and religious site. The name Taktsang translates to “The Tiger’s Nest”. This temple is one of the most holy sites in the kingdom and clings impossibly to a sheer cliff face 900 meters above the Paro Valley. Taktsang Lhakhang is located approximately 10 km north of Paro town at an altitude of 3.120 m. No trip to Bhutan would be complete without a visit to this remarkable heritage site
• Bhutan Post Office Headquarters : Are you a fan of collecting memorabilia from your trips? Don't forget to make a stop at Bhutan Post Office Headquarters. Make your own stamps from one of your favourite pictures and send postcards home to your friends and family here.
• Authentic Bhutan Home Visit - Visit a Bhutanese family at their home, experience dining in a traditional Bhutanese home embraced by the warm hospitality of the family.

Bhutan - Kingdom Amongst The Himalayas

The Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is home to opulent retreats and a wide variety of tourist attractions, outdoor pursuits, and accommodations of the highest caliber. Protected from external influence, Bhutan has managed to maintain many of its ancient customs and ways of life, giving visitors a fascinating insight into Bhutan’s intriguing ancient civilization.

Visiting this magnificent country will provide you with memories that will last a lifetime as you take in sights and tastes that can only be found in Bhutan, learn fascinating cultural insights, receive blessings from local monks, and marvel at breathtaking mountain views. This itinerary has been thoughtfully crafted to offer you a signature route that will allow you to discover Bhutan’s most famous sights as well as its historical, cultural, and spiritual hotspots.

Our vacation plans are never set in stone, and this one is no exception. We are able to completely modify it so that it is in line with your budget, pace, and how you want to spend your time, giving you the freedom to dream up an ideal vacation in Bhutan . If you have your own preferred itinerary ideas, let us know in the form below so we can tailor-make it for you to match your vision for your trip. With that being said, let’s take a closer look at each day of the suggested itinerary below.

Make a Positive Impact on Your Journey

Realizing the importance of making both local communities and tourist destinations better is a significant component of running a successful tourism business. As tour operators, we put great care and effort into creating tours that showcase our destinations in the best light and allow you to support the local communities and their economies as you explore them. Here’s how your visit to Bhutan can, in turn, create a better life for the people, its environment and others living in this pristine Himalayan kingdom.

1. Sustainable Development Fee (SDF)

In order to lessen the negative consequences of mass tourism, the Bhutanese government has always taken a cautious approach to tourism-related activities. The SDF of $200 per person per day goes directly to the Bhutanese government, which uses it to fund initiatives ranging from conservation to community education, to train workers in the travel and tourism industry, and to advance carbon-neutral infrastructure and organic farming. You’ll get to play a part in these efforts, which are keeping Bhutan carbon negative by balancing the amount of carbon dioxide it generates.

2. Enjoy a Hearty Home-cooked Meal

Our tours give you the opportunity to partake in specially arranged home-cooked meals and cooking lessons with the locals, using ingredients grown in their gardens or gathered from the surrounding valley. It’s a greener and more sustainable option because it uses locally sourced, organic ingredients rather than products that are imported. Local home visits also contribute to the improvement of these people’s overall standard of living by offering additional income while allowing you to get an intimate understanding of the local culture and community you are visiting.

3. Enhancing Educational Opportunities for the Underprivileged

We don’t just give you an amazing vacation. We also seek out opportunities for you to give back to the communities and help local people as you travel. Purchasing mementoes made by the students of the Zorig Chusum Traditional Arts School helps to ensure that underprivileged children in Bhutan have better access to quality education. The funds are redistributed to local schools, where they equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to find better employment opportunities or establish their own businesses.

4. Local Tour Guides

We always engage with local tour guides. This way, local people are empowered as a result of the chances for employment, development, and conservation offered, while visitors can participate in high-quality, unique experiences while knowing they are making a direct and positive influence. When done properly, community-based tourism is the pinnacle of good tourism. It is ideal for fostering economic growth, protecting native traditions, and providing memorable adventures for visitors.

• Marvel at the unique architecture of ancient fortresses such as the Punakha Dzong and discover sacred temples such as the Tiger’s Nest and stupas.
• Witness the Himalayan mountains looming over the horizon as you drive through mountain passes past old monasteries, villages, and verdant terraced hills.
• Hike off the beaten path and explore rural areas as well as nature parks with a chance to catch a glimpse of rare black-necked cranes and other native wildlife.
• Learn about the centuries-old methods that have been passed down through the generations of Bhutanese artisans and marvel at the enchanting beauty of the resulting works of art.

How guests can travel bhutan from singapore, option 1 : by singapore - paro direct flight [sunday + thursday].

Getting to Bhutan from Singapore has become more accessible with the availability of direct flights. Although the frequency is currently limited to two flights per week – specifically on Sundays and Thursdays – the convenience of a direct route remains notable. Bhutan's air travel is restricted to a select group of nations, including India, Thailand, Singapore, Nepal, and Bangladesh. This exclusivity is maintained to ensure controlled access to the country. Since Bhutan prohibits foreign flights from landing within its borders, the operation of flights is entrusted to Bhutan's two primary airlines: Druk Air and Bhutan Airlines . These carriers facilitate the transportation between Bhutan and its limited number of flight-permitted partner nations. This unique approach maintains the integrity of Bhutan's aviation while offering travellers a direct link to this captivating destination from Singapore Changi Airport. Changi Airport of Singapore is named as the World's Best Airport in 2023 due to its exceptional services, facilities, and efficiency. It serves as a major international hub connecting passengers to destinations globally.

The chorten was build in the third King memory, and it was continuously circumambulated by people, murmuring mantras and spinning their prayer wheels. The idea to construct this landmark was proposed by Bhutan third King, His Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuk (the father of modern Bhutan), who has wished to erect a monument to the World for peace and prosperity. Completed in 1974 after Majesty's untimely death, it served as a memorial to the late King and a monument of peace. The Clock Tower - Located at the centre of the Thimphu Town, the Clock Tower Square is an architectural wonder one can behold during Bhutan package tour from Bagdogra . This tower differs from every other construction or building in Bhutan. It is basically a tower with four clock faces in four directions. The tower depicts of Bhutanese architecture pattern which is basically painted or engraved on wood. The tower is decorated with many intricately carved floral patterns, paintings, and replica of dragons. The dragons on the tower are facing each clock in the tower, which is interesting to look at. The dragon is a holy animal in Bhutanese culture, and it stands for the country's independence. As this place is a prime attraction among locals and travelers in Bhutan, most people come here in the evening to see and enjoy the exquisite carvings and paintings. This tower is one of the busiest locations in town because there are numerous restaurants, gift shops, and hotels nearby. The square is in close proximity to a number of trade fairs, concerts, and other events.

Simply Bhutan - Simply Bhutan is a unique and exciting project whose primary aim is to conserve the culture and tradition of the Bhutanese people while creating job opportunities for the young people who are job seekers. The infrastructure in this museum primarily portrays the ancient Bhutanese architecture which is decreasing at a high rate. A Kolkata to Bhutan Tour will bring you closer to an architectural design of its kind. The structure of the museum itself is built reusing old timber, door and window frames and numerous other materials from demolished houses. Simply Bhutan has so much to offer its visitors. First, you get the opportunity to experience the real Bhutanese feeling. Unlike numerous museums in Bhutan and all over the world where you aren’t allowed to touch the artefacts or take photographs, things are done differently here.

Dochula Pass : Is a must visit tourist destination during any Bhutan Tour Package . It is merely 1 hrs drive from the city of Thimphu. While going to Punakha from Thimphu, this magnificent view point can be seen at 10,000 feet altitude. On a clear day wide range of Eastern Himalayan snow capped mountain peaks can be seen clearly from this view point. Decorated with colorful prayer flags, 108 Chortens are the main attraction of this place. Druk Wangyal Chorten or 108 memorial Chortens of Dochula Pass was built in 2005 on instruction by the Queen Mother of Bhutan - Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck. It was build to commemorate the memory of the brave Bhutanese soldier who scarified their life in 2003 Assamese insurgents. So, when you are on Bhutan Tour, don't miss this great attraction.

Punakha Dzong : Also known as " The Palace of Great Happiness ", Punakha Dzong is located at the confluence of the Pho Chhu (father) and Mo Chhu (mother) rivers in the Punakha–Wangdue valley. This Dzong is the most picturesque of all Bhutan ancient fortresses and it joins the mainland by an arched wooden bridge that contains many precious relics from the days when successive kings reigned the Kingdom from this Punakha valley.

Chimi Lhakhang (Fertility Temple) : Stationed at the top of a hillock, the Chimi Lhakhang is a site dedicated to Lama Drukpa Kuenley. Known as the 'Divine Madman,' Lama Drukpa Kuenley is said to use songs, humor, and outrageous behavior to preach his teachings. Chimi Lhakhang temple is believed to be the temple of fertility, and the Bhutanese hold a strong belief that childless couples are blessed by Lama Drukpa Kuenley if they visit the temple and pray for a child. The road to the temple follows a picturesque rural trail through the paddy field that takes visitors to the temple from the road, and after crossing the paddy field, you will find a tiny stream from where Chimi Lhakhang is just a short climb away. Overnight stayat hotel in Punakha.

Hi Soumalya, We are very much thankful to you for planning entire Bhutan Package Tour from Mumbai with so proper itinerary, without any hectic schedule. We were able to enjoy all beautiful places, clicking lots of photographs without any worries about reaching to next destination. Hotels were good. Food was great. Especially, we enjoyed ourselves much at Mrs. Sonam's house. She was a gem, very warm and kind hearted lady and great cook. We enjoyed food at her place more than any other since it was home made with love and care. Special thanks to her and Mr Sonam too. Mr. Parmesh, our driver was very helpful too and entertained us lot. He was our part-time guide too.

Once again, I thank you for responding all my queries so patiently and Mr Sandip Raha too (I got a first introductory call from him as soon as I had put my query late in the night around 11 PM) and for completing our trip with success and lots of good memories in Bhutan. I will blindly recommend NatureWings to anyone who is looking for Bhutan Trip in future.

Also, the operations team in Bhutan supported us very well, many thanks to Ms. Sabitra. We were 9 adults accompanied by two infants. We were given a comfortable 16 seater coaster. The driver and tour guide were very well informed and friendly. We had a pleasant stay (2N) at Osel, Thimpu. Punakha was splendid with Zhinkham Resorts (1N). In Paro, due to lack of availability we were given two rooms in Tashinamgay and Taktsang (3N). While Tashinamgay was good, I would not recommend Taktsang Boutique Resort at all. Overall we had a great experience in the beautiful country of Bhutan... Tashi Delek!"

Some of its popular cycling routes stretch from Thimpu to Janchhub or Thimpu to Yandren and Haa to Paro.

Tour the Museum

In Bhutan, every building has a history; most inspired by chronicle events and other spiritual traditions. So, pay a call to some of these galleries while you’re in the town. The options for museums are endless but we still recommend the National Museum of Bhutan and the Royal Heritage Museum as they are worth a stop.

The Bhutan Postal Museum, the National Handicraft Emporium, The National Textile Museum, and the Folk Heritage Museum are other galleries that exhibit Bhutanese history in its truest form.

Paro’s Weekend Market

The weekend market of Paro may not be the most euphuistic of all but it surely has a local charm with bustling crowds. A trip to the market will introduce you to Bhutan’s regional specialties like Tsirang honey, chugo ( a string of dried cheese), husky betel nut, and powdered juniper incense. Hence, if you have time, do check it out.

As for ATMs, they're not as plentiful as you might be used to. It is easier to find them in the main towns throughout Bhutan. While they might not always be conveniently located, we advise you to plan ahead and withdraw what you need when you have the chance.

Regarding language and communication, English is widely spoken in Bhutan. Visitors won’t have a hard time communicating except with the locals.

Cultural Etiquette and Customs

There’s an official behavioral and dress code in Bhutan titled,” Driglam Namzha,” where Driglam means, “order, discipline, custom, rules, regimen,” and Namzha means “system.” Bhutanese must dress, talk, eat, and behave accordingly.

Bhutanese locals usually wear their traditional dresses. Men put on their ceremonial scarves called Kabney for special occasions or when visiting a monastery while women wear cotton or silk red scarfs called Rachu embroidered with beautiful flowers.

When greeting, although people usually shake hands with the tourists, the traditional way is bowing. (The depth of the bow depends on the rank of the person being greeted.)

The people in Bhutan highly value politeness and humbleness while communicating. It is customary to speak softly avoiding aggressive language.

Likewise, elders are highly respected in Bhutanese culture and it is best to greet them by showing special consideration.

When visiting someone’s house, it is customary to bring gifts. Otherwise, it is believed that visiting empty-handed is unlucky.

When dining with Bhutanese hosts, waiting until invited to begin eating and leaving a small amount of food on the plate after finishing to show that you have had enough is considered polite.

Removing shoes and hats before entering the monastery or temples is a must. Everyone is supposed to walk around stupas and temples in a clockwise direction.

Touching someone’s head or pointing your feet at anyone or anything holy is forbidden because the head is considered scared and the feet as impure.
