Overview
This bhutan tiger nest trek tour package builds two real hiking days into a five day circuit, rather than treating Taktsang as a quick stop between sightseeing points. Day two is the climb to Tiger’s Nest itself, gaining roughly 900 metres above the valley floor. Day three adds Chele La Pass, the highest motorable point in Bhutan at close to 3,988 metres, with a shorter walk along the ridge toward the chortens and prayer flags strung across the saddle. This bhutan tiger nest trek tour package then balances the trekking days with a calmer day trip to Thimphu before departure.
Bon Voyagers manages the ground programme for this bhutan tiger nest trek tour package from arrival at Paro International Airport. A private vehicle and a trekking guide cover every transfer and trail across Paro and Thimphu, with the guide setting the pace on both Day 2 and Day 3 hikes. Four nights of deluxe hotel accommodation on double sharing basis include daily breakfast and dinner on MAP basis. Trekking poles and rain shells are not provided, so travellers carry their own gear suited to the season. The per person cost of this bhutan tiger nest trek tour package is ₹20,700.

This bhutan tiger nest trek tour package begins at Paro International Airport, where the Bon Voyagers guide meets the group on arrival. Paro sits at around 2,200 metres, already a meaningful elevation for travellers arriving from sea level cities, so the first afternoon is kept light to allow some acclimatization before the climbing starts. The guide briefs the group on the next two trekking days, the gear needed, and the realistic pace each hike requires. A short walk through Paro town, past the archery ground and the river, rounds out the afternoon. This bhutan tiger nest trek tour package keeps Day 1 deliberately light. Overnight in Paro.
Day 2 of this bhutan tiger nest trek tour package is built entirely around the climb to Taktsang. The trail starts through blue pine forest and gains around 350 metres to the cafeteria viewpoint, a natural stopping point for tea where most groups reassess their pace before the steeper second half. From there the trail climbs another 300 metres or so along stone steps cut into the cliff, crossing a small waterfall on a footbridge before the final approach to the monastery gates. Most groups take 3 to 4 hours up and around 2 hours back down. Overnight in Paro.
Day 3 of this bhutan tiger nest trek tour package shifts to Chele La Pass, a drive of around 1.5 hours from Paro through rhododendron and fir forest that thins out as the road climbs. At close to 3,988 metres, Chele La is the highest motorable pass in the country, and on a clear day the view stretches to Mount Jomolhari on the Bhutan-Tibet border. A walk along the ridge past rows of prayer flags counts as the day's lighter trek, easier than Day 2 but at thinner air. The group returns to Paro by early afternoon. Overnight in Paro.
Day 4 of this bhutan tiger nest trek tour package leaves the trails behind for a calmer day, with a drive of around 1 hour to Thimphu. After two days of climbing, most groups appreciate the lighter pace, walking rather than hiking through the Buddha Dordenma grounds and the Tashichho Dzong courtyard. The Memorial Chorten and the weekend market, when timed right, round out the afternoon. Legs that worked hard on Day 2 and Day 3 get a genuine rest day disguised as sightseeing. This bhutan tiger nest trek tour package treats Day 4 as recovery. Overnight in Thimphu.
The final day of this bhutan tiger nest trek tour package returns the group from Thimphu to Paro, a drive of around 1 hour, timed against the confirmed flight schedule. Most groups feel the previous two trekking days in their legs by this point, and the drive itself becomes a welcome chance to sit still. The Bon Voyagers vehicle drops the group at Paro International Airport, where the trip that began five days earlier comes to a close. The trip ends at the same airport it started from, legs tired but the climb behind them.
