Bhutan tour packages for 7-day options range from INR 39,900 to INR 80,000 per person as of June 2026. These packages cover private transfers, accommodation, and guided tours across Thimphu, Punakha, and Paro.
Indian citizens must budget for a mandatory Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) of INR 1,200 per person per night. For a standard 6-night trip, this adds INR 7,200 per person to your total cost, which is collected separately from the base package price.
Bhutan is the world’s only carbon-negative country, following a high-value, low-volume tourism model to protect its Himalayan landscapes and ancient Buddhist architecture. A one-week trip allows you to explore the three primary western valleys and complete the hike to the Tiger’s Nest monastery.

Here are some of the top places to visit in Bhutan during your Bhutan trip from Mumbai. Our travellers completely rely on our route selection and selected destination just how Kunal did.
Kunal Singh, one of our verified travellers who booked the Explore Bhutan with FREE Taktsang Monastery Tour package, shared in March 2026 that, “My Bhutan tour with Thrillophilia was perfectly planned and executed. From Paro to Thimphu, everything was seamless and comfortable. The cultural experiences and monasteries were highlights of the trip. Special thanks to Neha Joshi for her guidance. Thanks to Thrillophilia for such a great experience!”
Bhutan's capital city of Thimphu is the heart of governance as well as culture. Major landmarks here are Tashichho Dzong, Memorial Chorten, and the National Library. The city has no traffic light system and has modern infrastructure alongside traditional values. Textile museums, local markets, and weekend fairs comprise the urban landscape of Thimphu, making it an ideal destination for those who wish to experience Bhutanese culture and everyday life.
Paro is the only international airport in the country, located at the height of 2,235 metres above sea level, making it an entry point for most foreigners. Some of the world's most famous tourist sites here are Tiger's Nest Monastery (Taktsang), Rinpung Dzong, and the National Museum. The Paro Valley is home to ancient temples, traditional farmhouses, and beautiful riverside surroundings. Popular for cultural introduction and trekking, Paro attracts thousands of international tourists every year.
Punakha served as Bhutan’s capital until the mid-20th century and still hosts important religious events. The town is located on the junction of the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers and is suitable for river rafting. Among the most architecturally important dzongs in the country, the Punakha Dzong is the most popular in the region. The perfect winter climate here attracts tourists all year round.
Phobjikha is among the top wildlife habitats in Bhutan. It has been well-known for being a winter haven of black-necked cranes, an endangered bird. Here, the Gangtey Monastery sits majestically above the wetlands, giving an insight into local spiritual practices. Eco-tourism and nature conservation extend to this area, therefore attracting trekkers, wildlife enthusiasts, or those interested in Bhutan's environmental conservation.
Bumthang is the site of some of the earliest monasteries in Bhutan, such as the Jambay Lhakhang and Kurjey Lhakhang. The area includes four valleys: Chokhor, Tang, Ura, and Chhume, all of which are steeped in Bhutanese mythology and religious history. Several festivals, like Jambay Lhakhang Drup, are celebrated all year round, making it a very important place for any traveller associated with culture and spiritual tourism.
Every traveller to Bhutan must visit Tiger's Nest, or Paro Taktsang, the ultimate attraction of Bhutan. This place is located on the hillside and is also referred to as Taktsang Monastery. You can visit any of the many shrines in the monastery, in addition to the cave temple. On your short hike to the tops of the Himalayan Mountains and the area of the Tiger's Nest, you will be able to see the magnificent Paro Valley views.
Riya Kapoor from Mumbai booked the Experiential Bhutan | Free Gangtey Gompa Monastery Excursion package in January 2025. She says, “Hiking to the Tiger’s Nest was a dream come true. The climb was challenging, but reaching the monastery was an amazing experience. Thanks to guide Tashi, the trekking poles and encouragement were so helpful; I highly recommend this trek to everyone.”
Here are some of the best things to do in Bhutan:
Depending on the season you choose to visit Bhutan, you can participate in several vibrant and colourful festivals that will directly connect you with the country's roots. Bhutan, being a Buddhist nation, has many festivals, including the Thimphu Tsechu Festival, the Haa Summer Festival, the Matsutake Festival, the Ura Yakchoe Festival, the Jomolhari Mountain Festival, and more.
Educate yourself about the country's customs, culture, beliefs, and years of history by visiting the local museum. Centuries of stories and heritage, which the happiest country has, come alive through extensive collections and exhibits at the many museums.
Some of the famous museums are the National Museum of Bhutan, the National Textile Museum and the Folk Heritage Museum. You can also visit Simply Bhutan, the Bhutan Postal Museum, the Royal Heritage Museum, and the National Handicraft Emporium.
Any Bhutan tour package from Mumbai can’t be completed without shopping at the local market. Norzin Lam is one of the busiest and most popular places to shop for local and traditional Bhutanese items, like boots, clothing, handmade papers, carpets, silver, colourful masks, jewellery, hand-woven bamboo items, and wooden products.
Experience luxury and comfort at the same time while having the hot spring pools in Bhutan, like Gasa Tshachu, Dhur Tshachu, Chuboog Tshachu, etc. Locally, it's believed that it's not just a form of relaxation, but it has several medical properties that can heal several muscle and skin issues.
For a truly indulgent experience, consider combining these relaxing visits with luxury Bhutan holidays, where comfort meets tradition in breathtaking settings.
Bhutan gives you not only luxury, views, nature and spiritual breakthroughs but also thrilling experiences. A range of daring adventures, like trekking, hiking, mountain biking, rafting, camping, and archery, are some of the many ways to explore Bhutan’s true essence.
These three itineraries reflect what Indian travellers most consistently choose while exploring Bhutan. Each Bhutan itinerary for 7 days is planned around comfortable mountain routes, scenic drives, cultural experiences, monasteries, valleys, and enough leisure time to experience Bhutan’s peaceful Himalayan charm. The routes cover popular destinations such as Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, Dochula Pass, Tiger’s Nest Monastery, and Phobjikha Valley.
Sangeeta Pillai, one of our verified travellers who booked the Escape to Bhutan | From Sacred Trails to Highland Tales package, shared in April 2026 that. “5 of us friends recently explored Bhutan on a 7 days trip curated by Thrillophilia, and it turned out to be a really smooth and memorable experience. The itinerary was well-paced, covering Phuentsholing, Thimphu, Punakha, and Paro without feeling rushed. Each destination had its own charm, and we had enough time to actually soak in the places rather than just ticking them off. What stood out most was the consistent support throughout the journey. The team stayed connected with us and made sure everything from check-ins to daily plans ran as expected. Even when small issues came up, they were handled quickly, which kept the trip stress-free.”
Manish Bhatia, one of our verified travellers who booked the EXCLUSIVE Bhutan | FREE Tiger Nest Hiking Experience package, shared in April 2026 that "My parents are retired and had always wanted to see Bhutan. I booked through Thrillophilia and specifically asked them to design an itinerary where nothing was rushed and the altitude gain was gradual. They delivered exactly that. The guide was patient and took extra time at every monastery to let my father read everything. My father mother loved the trip, and we will plan more such trips with Thrillophilia."
