Classic Bhutan Highlands & Valleys Road Trip
Tour Overview
Get ready for a classic five-day trip to the mountain kingdom of Bhutan. Starting from the border town of Phuentsholing, you will climb into the cool mountain air of the Himalayas. We will take you straight to the capital city, Thimphu, before wrapping up your loop in the scenic Paro Valley.
Along the way, you will see giant Buddha statues, visit historic fortress-monasteries, and walk along bright glacial rivers. This is a practical, well-paced private tour designed to show you the country's highlights without any rush.
