Embark on an enduring 10-day tour through the Kingdom of Bhutan, an undiscovered treasure in the Eastern Himalayas. This immersive tour unveils the spiritual richness, cultural heritage, and natural wonders that define Bhutan. From the moment you step into the enchanting landscapes of Paro to the exploration of ancient dzongs and serene valleys, each day promises a unique adventure in the heart of the Thunder Dragon.

What is the best time to visit Bhutan?

Bhutan remains an attractive destination throughout the year; however, the prime periods are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), characterized by moderate weather and lively landscapes. Winter (December to February) offers clear skies and the chance to witness snowfall in higher altitudes.

How is the altitude managed during the tour?

In the 10-day Bhutan tour, the schedule is carefully crafted to facilitate gradual altitude adjustment, promoting acclimatization. Activities are paced to prioritize the well-being and enjoyment of travellers throughout the journey.

What cultural aspects will be explored during the tour?

The tour delves into Bhutanese culture through visits to ancient dzongs, traditional festivals (if coinciding with the itinerary), interaction with local communities, and exploring unique landmarks like the National Memorial Chorten.

What is the level of physical activity involved?

The tour includes a mix of cultural sightseeing, moderate hikes, and exploration. While some days involve gentle walks, others may include more challenging hikes, providing a well-rounded experience suitable for most fitness levels.

How is local cuisine incorporated into the tour?

Bhutanese cuisine is an integral part of the journey. The tour includes opportunities to savour traditional Bhutanese meals, allowing you to indulge in the region’s unique flavours and culinary traditions.

Is there a specific dress code to adhere to?

Modesty is highly regarded in Bhutanese culture, and visitors are advised to dress modestly, particularly when exploring religious sites. Traditional Bhutanese attire, like the gho for men and kira for women, is appreciated but not mandatory.

Conclusion

Completing this immersive 10-day tour, you’ll carry the memories of Bhutan’s spiritual allure, cultural richness, and natural beauty. Whether opting for the prime periods or a unique winter experience, each day promises a tapestry of unique adventures that linger in the heart. For those desiring a more concise exploration, consider our specially crafted 8-day Bhutan tour—an equally enriching experience awaits.
