Overview
Pune has no direct route to Paro, so this bhutan tour package from pune opens with a domestic flight to Kolkata, the Indian city carrying the busiest onward connection into Bhutan. Once the group lands in Paro, the actual Bhutan circuit runs six days and five nights across Paro, Thimphu and Punakha, the same itinerary used throughout this series. The Tiger’s Nest hike sits on Day 3, and Day 5 crosses Dochula Pass on the way to Punakha Dzong. This bhutan tour package from pune is built around the real two-leg journey a Pune traveller actually makes, not an idealized direct flight that doesn’t exist on this route.
Bon Voyagers takes over the ground arrangements for this bhutan tour package from pune the moment the group lands at Paro International Airport, after the Pune-Kolkata leg is completed independently. A private vehicle handles every transfer across Paro, Thimphu and Punakha, with a guide assigned for all six Bhutan days. Five nights in deluxe hotels on double sharing basis come with daily breakfast and dinner on MAP basis. The per person cost of this bhutan tour package from pune is ₹25,500, which covers the Bhutan ground circuit only, separate from the Pune-Kolkata flight and Kolkata hotel.
Day-wise Itinerary

This bhutan tour package from pune begins with a domestic flight from Pune to Kolkata, around 2.5 to 3 hours covering roughly 1,650 kilometres. Because the onward Kolkata-Paro flight tends to leave early in the morning, flying into Kolkata the evening before gives this bhutan tour package from pune a buffer that a same-day connection simply doesn't allow. The evening in Kolkata stays unscheduled, leaving room to settle in after the first flight rather than rushing straight into another one. Overnight in Kolkata.
Day 2 of this bhutan tour package from pune covers the shorter onward leg, Kolkata to Paro, around 1 hour and 40 minutes over roughly 550 kilometres, one of the busiest routes into Bhutan from India. A Bon Voyagers guide is waiting at Paro International Airport, marking the real start of the Bhutan portion of the trip. With two flights behind the group in two days, the afternoon stays deliberately unplanned beyond an optional stroll through Paro town. Dinner at the hotel brings the first MAP meal of the circuit. Overnight in Paro.
Day 3 of this bhutan tour package from pune centres on the climb to Taktsang, the monastery clinging to the cliff face that everyone simply calls Tiger's Nest. The ascent gains roughly 900 metres from the parking area, and most groups need 3 to 4 hours to reach the top, breaking at the cafeteria viewpoint along the way. Built into the rock in the seventeenth century around a cave tied to Guru Rinpoche, the monastery rewards the climb on arrival. Coming down takes less effort than going up, and the rest of the afternoon is left open. Overnight in Paro.
This bhutan tour package from pune shifts to Thimphu on Day 4, roughly an hour's drive along the river through the Paro valley. Thimphu holds the unusual distinction of being the only capital city anywhere without a single traffic light. The Buddha Dordenma, a towering bronze statue above the valley, and Tashichho Dzong, home to the throne room and government offices, fill the afternoon. Day 4 stays relatively easy, since the longer drive to Punakha follows tomorrow. Overnight in Thimphu.
Day 5 of this bhutan tour package from pune crosses Dochula Pass en route to Punakha, around 3 hours of driving in total. At roughly 3,100 metres, the pass holds 108 memorial chortens arranged in a single row, with the eastern Himalayan range visible on a clear day. The road then descends into Punakha's warmer air, where rice terraces take over from the pine forest higher up. Punakha Dzong, built at the meeting point of two rivers, anchors the afternoon and remains the most striking fortress on this circuit. Overnight in Punakha.
Day 6 of this bhutan tour package from pune heads back from Punakha to Paro, stopping at Chimi Lhakhang along the way, a temple most groups end up remembering best. Dedicated to the Divine Madman, the saint credited with bringing fertility blessings to the valley, the site is reached by a short walk across rice fields. The rest of the drive back to Paro takes around 2 hours, leaving the evening free for a last walk through Paro town before departure. Overnight in Paro.
The closing day of this bhutan tour package from pune centres on the flight back to Kolkata, followed by the connecting domestic leg to Pune either the same day or the next, depending on timing. Breakfast at the hotel comes before a short transfer to Paro International Airport. The Bon Voyagers vehicle delivers the group to the airport, closing out the Bhutan portion of the trip exactly six days after it opened. The journey home mirrors the same two-flight path that brought everyone in.
