This bhutan tour package from bagdogra begins with the short direct flight into Paro, around 40 minutes covering roughly 134 kilometres, one of the briefer international routes operating anywhere in the region. The Bon Voyagers guide meets the group on arrival, and the afternoon stays light after such a quick flight, with an optional walk through Paro town and a visit to Kyichu Lhakhang, one of Bhutan's oldest temples. Dinner at the hotel introduces the first MAP meal of the trip. Overnight in Paro.
Day 2 of this bhutan tour package from bagdogra is built around the hike to Taktsang, the cliffside monastery known as Tiger's Nest. The trail climbs roughly 900 metres from the parking area, and most groups take 3 to 4 hours up with a stop at the cafeteria viewpoint roughly halfway. The monastery itself was built into the rock face in the seventeenth century around a cave where Guru Rinpoche is said to have meditated. The descent is gentler, and the afternoon is left free for rest at the hotel. Overnight in Paro.
This bhutan tour package from bagdogra moves to Thimphu on Day 3, a drive of around 1 hour through the Paro valley and along the river. Thimphu is Bhutan's capital and the only capital city in the world without traffic lights, a fact that surprises most first-time visitors. The afternoon covers the Buddha Dordenma, a giant bronze statue overlooking the valley from a hillside, and Tashichho Dzong, the fortress that houses the throne room and government offices. Overnight in Thimphu.
Day 4 of this bhutan tour package from bagdogra crosses Dochula Pass on the way to Punakha, a drive of around 3 hours total. The pass sits at roughly 3,100 metres and holds 108 memorial chortens built in a single row, with views of the eastern Himalayan range on a clear morning. The road then drops into the warmer Punakha valley, where rice terraces replace the pine forest of higher elevations. The afternoon covers Punakha Dzong, built at the confluence of two rivers and considered the most striking fortress in the country. Overnight in Punakha.
The return drive on Day 5 of this bhutan tour package from bagdogra retraces the route from Punakha to Paro, with a stop at Chimi Lhakhang along the way, the temple most groups remember best from the circuit. The site is dedicated to the Divine Madman, the unconventional saint credited with bringing fertility blessings to the valley. The remainder of the drive back to Paro takes around 2 hours, and the evening is left open for a final walk through Paro town. Overnight in Paro.
The final day of this bhutan tour package from bagdogra is built around the short return flight to Bagdogra. Breakfast at the hotel is followed by a transfer to Paro International Airport, timed against the confirmed flight schedule. Given the brief flight, most travellers connecting onward to Darjeeling or Sikkim can continue the same day. The Bon Voyagers vehicle drops the group at the airport, where the trip that began six days earlier comes to a close. The trip ends at the same airport it started from.
