4 Nights 5 Days Bhutan Tour package lets you explore the landscapes and cultures of major places in Bhutan. Bhutan is the last Himalayan Kingdom, rich in nature and culture. Located in the eastern region of the Himalayas, most of the northern region of Bhutan is covered by high snow-capped mountains. Below the mountains, alpine and subtropical forests, valleys, and rivers make up the geography of the country. The jungles of Bhutan showcase diverse ecosystems with some endangered flora and fauna. The ‘Land of the Thunder Dragon’ is a Himalayan wonderland. What really makes Bhutan stand out, though, is its culture, lifestyle, and tradition.

Most of the Bhutanese people practice Mahayana Buddhism and the philosophy of Buddhism is deeply embedded in Bhutanese society. Most of the people faithfully follow their cultural and traditional values and conserve them well. Unlike in most places, Bhutanese people believe in spiritual happiness rather than relying on material things for their happiness. Wherever you go, you will find the heritage of cultural and religious significance such as monasteries, dzongs, stupas, chortens, etc. The traditional arts and the prayer flags make the streets vibrant. It is normal to see people in their traditional dresses Gho and Kira. Monasteries and dzongs are also used for administrative and academic purposes. The whole system of Bhutan depends on its culture and tradition. 4 Nights 5 Days Bhutan Tour is a great way to get close exposure to the interesting culture and traditions of Bhutan. 

This Bhutan Trip will take you to Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan. It is the home of prominent heritage sites such as Memorial Chorten which was built in the memory of King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck and Tashichho Dzong. There are local markets where you can buy local handicrafts such as paintings, bamboo products, etc. Thimphu offers many of the wonderful things to experience. The next destination of your Bhutan trip is Punakha. Here, you will visit many places such as Punakha Dzong, and suspension bridges. Local markets of Wangdue Phodrang are places you can explore for handcrafts. Along the way, the road offers you wonderful views of the landscapes. Dochula Pass is one of the best viewpoints on the way. The trek to Tiger’s Nest Monastery outside of Paro is another way to experience the outdoor landscape of Bhutan. The monasteries of dzongs will give you a deeper insight into Bhutanese culture. 

4 Nights 5 Days Bhutan Tour is hence an amazing way to experience the beauty of this Himalayan country. Bhutan is guaranteed to give you the perfect spiritual and natural retreat from your everyday life. The authenticity of Bhutanese culture, lifestyle, and food will win your heart at every moment. We do our best to make sure the cost of the Bhutan Trip is worth it.

      Best Company for Bhutan Tour

      I have always been fascinated by mountains and often wondered how people in countries far away lived their life. After my friend said she was going for a Bhutan Tour, I would not let her go without me. We together did our research about lots of things, especially tour companies because you can go by yourself. Thank God! we found Sublime Trails. We contacted many tour companies but, I couldn't trust them but Ram was friendly, trustable and proved that they were the best. We had lots of fun during these 10 days. By the end of the tour, my love for Bhutan and mountains increased even more and I would definitely travel there once again. If you want to have the best time in Bhutan, go with Sublime Trails. Don't think further and book your trip to Bhutan this holiday and have fun.

      A Short and Sweet Tour in Bhutan

      I had just finished my tour in Nepal and I had heard about Bhutan from so many people. Because I had only few days left, I didn't think I could go to Bhutan Tour this time but Ram said that it was possible even if I had just 3 days left.  He managed to plan my short trip to Bhutan the same day and prepared everything for us. That way I flew to Bhutan unexpectedly. I had the best time during this holiday spending it in two beautiful Himalayan countries. If you want to spend your holidays in Nepal or Bhutan, I recommend Sublime Trails.
