Spanning ten unforgettable days, this journey offers an In-Depth Bhutan Itinerary that slows the pace, deepens the experience, and broadens your connection to this extraordinary kingdom.
Over the course of the trip, you'll explore Bhutan's cultural capitals and spiritual heartlands — from Paro and Thimphu to Punakha, Bumthang, Trongsa, and the peaceful Gangtey Valley.
This is more than a vacation. It’s a transformative adventure that invites you to travel not just across Bhutan, but into it — its stories, its people, and its timeless spirit.
What to Expect in Your Bhutan Long Stay Tour
As our longest and most immersive package, the 10-Day Bhutan Tour offers a comprehensive journey through Bhutan’s key regions — from western cultural centers to the sacred heartlands of the east.
You will begin in Thimphu, Bhutan’s capital, where you’ll visit cultural landmarks like the National Folk Heritage Museum, National Textile Museum, and the hilltop Buddha Dordenma statue, along with the historic Simtokha and Tashichho Dzongs.
Then, you will ascend the scenic Dochula Pass on your way to Punakha, where Bhutan’s architectural masterpiece, Punakha Dzong, awaits. You’ll also walk the iconic suspension bridge over the Pho Chu River and hike to the beautiful Khamsum Yuley Temple.
On Day 4, you will journey deeper into the spiritual heart of Bhutan with a road or domestic flight to Bumthang Valley. This region is home to some of Bhutan’s most sacred and historic temples, including Kurjey Lhakhang, Jambay Lhakhang, Tamzhing Goemba, and Jakar Dzong.
Day 6 involves overland travel to Trongsa for a visit to the impressive Trongsa Dzong before continuing to Gangtey Valley, home of the Phobjikha Wildlife Preserve. Here you’ll explore Gangtey Goemba and visit a local family to experience rural Bhutanese life firsthand.
Finally, on Day 8, you will return to Paro, where the journey culminates with Bhutan’s most iconic hike — the legendary Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang) — along with visits to the National Museum, Kyichu Lhakhang, and the ruins of Drukgyal Dzong.
With time to pause, engage, and reflect at each destination, the Extended Bhutan Experience ensures that every moment feels purposeful and connected — whether you're admiring intricate temple murals or enjoying a quiet walk through alpine forests.

A Tour Package that Dives Deep into Culture, Spirituality & Nature: Bhutan’s Living Heritage
This 10-Day Bhutan Tour is a thoughtfully designed journey that takes you far beyond the typical sightseeing experience.
It guides you through the heart of Bhutan’s living heritage, where culture, spirituality, and nature intertwine seamlessly to shape daily life and the nation’s enduring identity.
From your first moments in Paro and Thimphu, you’ll encounter the majestic presence of Bhutanese dzongs—ancient fortress-monasteries that are as much centers of spiritual practice as administrative hubs. Museums like the National Folk Heritage and Textile Museum provide rich context to Bhutan’s vibrant traditions, showcasing centuries-old crafts and customs that remain alive today.
As you cross the scenic Dochula Pass, the landscape shifts, and so does the energy—ushering you into fertile valleys like Punakha, where architectural marvels such as the Punakha Dzong stand sentinel beside sacred rivers. Here, ancient temples and suspension bridges invite quiet reflection on Bhutan’s harmonious relationship with nature and faith.
Your journey continues into the spiritual heartland of Bumthang, often called Bhutan’s “cultural soul.” This valley is dotted with centuries-old lhakhangs and monasteries—each a living repository of Bhutanese Buddhism and art. Traveling onward through Trongsa and the tranquil Gangtey Valley, you experience rural Bhutanese life firsthand, from serene wildlife preserves to heartfelt interactions with local families, revealing the simplicity and depth of daily existence here.
Finally, the legendary Tiger’s Nest Monastery crowns the adventure, perched dramatically on a cliffside, offering not just a physical challenge but a moment of profound spiritual connection that embodies the essence of Bhutan.
Throughout this extended itinerary, you’ll witness how Bhutan’s cultural resilience and spiritual devotion have been nurtured alongside its pristine natural environment. This is a slow, immersive exploration inviting you to connect deeply—not only with the stunning sights but with the timeless stories, rituals, and rhythms that define the Land of the Thunder Dragon.
