Overview
This 3-week, customized tour (east–west route) is designed for travellers looking for a once-in-a-lifetime, long stay holiday in Bhutan. Your journey begins at the Samdrup Jongkhar Border checkpoint, the main port of entry for tourists travelling overland into eastern Bhutan. Nestled in the southeastern region, Samdrup Jongkhar shares a border with India’s Assam state. From here, the tour winds through the eastern circuits, unveiling some of Bhutan’s most untouched villages and breathtaking mountain landscapes, before continuing through the central and western regions. You will immerse yourself in all that Bhutan has to offer – from the breathtaking beauty and iconic landmarks of the Buddhist Kingdom to awe-inspiring mountain views, pristine wilderness, and vibrant flora and fauna. Experience unspoiled traditions and cultures, magnificent dzongs (fortress-like structures), spectacular monasteries, and unique Buddhist architecture and tapestries. Enjoy several hikes through picturesque villages, while encountering the warm and welcoming people of Bhutan. The journey concludes in Paro, located in the west, home to Paro International Airport and the renowned Taktshang Monastery, also known as the Tiger’s Nest.
