3100 Remote Bhutan Ura Valley Bumthang Tour Package | Peace

Day 2 of this bhutan ura valley bumthang tour package moves from Paro to Punakha, a drive of around 4 hours that passes through Thimphu and over Dochula Pass along the way. A short stop in Thimphu allows a quick look at the Buddha Dordenma before continuing east, since the real distance covered today sets up the longer drives ahead toward central Bhutan. The afternoon reaches Punakha Dzong, built at the confluence of two rivers and considered the most striking fortress in the country. This bhutan ura valley bumthang tour package treats Day 2 as a transit day, not a sightseeing stop. Overnight in Punakha.

Day 3 of this bhutan ura valley bumthang tour package crosses Pele La pass on the way from Punakha to Trongsa, a drive of around 5 to 6 hours through changing forest and farmland. Trongsa sits at the geographic centre of Bhutan, and Trongsa Dzong, perched dramatically above the gorge, is the largest dzong in the country and the ancestral seat of the current royal dynasty. The afternoon allows time to walk through the dzong's many courtyards before continuing on to Bumthang the next day. Overnight in Trongsa.

Day 4 of this bhutan ura valley bumthang tour package covers the short drive from Trongsa to Bumthang, around 2 to 3 hours through pine and oak forest as the road climbs over Yotong La pass. Bumthang is actually four valleys rather than one, and Jakar Dzong, the fortress overlooking the main valley, anchors the afternoon's sightseeing. A walk through Chamkhar town and a stop at one of the older temples nearby round out the day before the focused visit to Ura the next morning. This bhutan ura valley bumthang tour package gives Bumthang a full afternoon before Ura the next day. Overnight in Bumthang.

Day 5 of this bhutan ura valley bumthang tour package is given fully to Ura, a drive of around 1 hour from Bumthang into the highest valley in the district, sitting at roughly 3,100 metres. Maybe fifty stone houses cluster together here, and locals speak Ura-kha, a dialect distinct from standard Dzongkha spoken elsewhere. The Ura Lhakhang, dedicated to Guru Rinpoche, anchors the morning visit, followed by a slow walk through the village and its blue pine and wildflower surroundings. The Ura Yakchoe festival each spring brings the whole community together in traditional dress. Overnight in Bumthang.

Day 6 of this bhutan ura valley bumthang tour package retraces the route from Bumthang back through Trongsa, Pele La pass and Wangdue Phodrang, a long drive of around 7 to 8 hours covering most of the day. The passes look different heading west, with the light hitting the valleys at a different angle than on the way out. Most groups find this return drive feels faster than the outward journey, since the roads and stops are already familiar. There is no sightseeing built into this day, since reaching Wangdue Phodrang before dark is the only real goal. Overnight in Wangdue Phodrang

The final day of this bhutan ura valley bumthang tour package covers the short remaining drive from Wangdue Phodrang to Paro, around 2 to 3 hours, with enough time built in for the departure flight afterward. Breakfast at the hotel is followed by the drive west, retracing familiar ground through Dochula Pass one last time. The Bon Voyagers vehicle drops the group at Paro International Airport, where the trip that began seven days and several mountain passes earlier comes to a close. The trip ends at the same airport it started from.
