This bhutan tour package from kolkata begins at Paro International Airport, reached by a direct flight of just over 1 hour from Kolkata, one of only a handful of cities with a non-stop Bhutan connection. The Bon Voyagers guide meets the group on arrival, and the short drive into Paro town passes traditional farmhouses with carved windows. The afternoon is kept light after the 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 kolkata is built around the climb to Taktsang, the monastery known across the world as Tiger's Nest. The path gains roughly 900 metres from the parking area, and most groups take 3 to 4 hours at a pace, stopping at the cafeteria halfway for tea. The monastery clings to the cliff face above a gorge, built in the seventeenth century around a cave linked to Guru Rinpoche. Horses are available for part of the ascent at an additional local charge for travellers who prefer not to walk the sections on foot. Overnight in Paro
This bhutan tour package from kolkata 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, known among visitors as the only capital city in the world without traffic lights. 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. Groups on this bhutan tour package from kolkata often note how different the pace of Thimphu feels compared to home, even though it is the capital. Overnight in Thimphu.
Day 4 of this bhutan tour package from kolkata 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 kolkata 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, and the walk across the rice fields to reach it is part of the experience. 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 kolkata is built around the return flight to Kolkata. Breakfast at the hotel is followed by a short transfer to Paro International Airport, timed against the confirmed flight schedule. The direct route back means most travellers are home in Kolkata the same evening, without the longer layovers that some other Indian cities require for a Bhutan trip. 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.
