A perfect journey for those who want to explore the remote country in depth. This adventurous tour has only just become possible with the opening of the entry point at Samdrup-Jongkhar, a sub-tropical region which borders India. Completely off the beaten path you will be able to visit the heartlands of Bhutan including the eastern provinces and town of Trashigang and Mongar where the people are semi-nomadic. Journey onto the more frequently visited destinations of the Bumthang Valley, Trongsa, Gangtey, Punakha, Thimpu and Paro, each of which has its own attractions including dzongs, markets and stunning vistas. The infrastructure and accommodation for the first few days in Bhutan will be a far cry from a luxury holiday but with each passing day this will change and you will certainly feel that you have earned your luxuries by the end of the trip. This tour is purely a suggested itinerary. It can be booked as is or alternatively used as a starting point for creating your own ideal bespoke trip to Bhutan.
