A well-planned Bhutan tour takes you through valleys, monasteries, fortresses, and mountain landscapes at a pace that doesn’t feel overwhelming despite multiple terrain changes.
Here are some of our Bhutan travellers’ most preferred destinations during their trip.
Being Bhutan’s capital, Thimphu offers a balance between traditional Buddhist culture and modern city life with monasteries, museums, and lively local markets. Its highlights include Buddha Dordenma, Memorial Chorten, Tashichho Dzong, Motithang, and Takin Preserve
Situated at the confluence of two rivers, Punakha is known for its fertile valley, scenic landscapes, and one of Bhutan’s most renowned fortresses, with highlights like Punakha Dzong, Punakha Suspension Bridge, and multiple riverside viewpoints
Surrounded by mountain peaks, Paro is home to most of Bhutan’s cultural landmarks, like Paro Taktsang (Tiger's Nest Monastery), Rinpung Dzong, and the National Museum of Bhutan
Located right on the Bhutan-India border, Phuentsholing acts as the gateway for travellers entering Bhutan by road, with landmarks like Zangto Pelri Lhakhang and local markets.
Dochula Pass is famous for its 108 memorial chortens and scenic Himalayan views on clear days. It's ideal for photographers and travellers who wish to change their pace between Thimphu and Punakha.
Tabu Hashmi, a Pune-based traveller who booked the Gems of Bhutan | Thimphu Punakha & Paro tour package, said, “We had a very smooth transition across the border thanks to the professional team and clear briefing. Thanks, Thrillophilia, the local help and being patient with our paperwork were much appreciated. An amazing experience overall.”
Thrillophilia’s Bhutan tour packages from Pune include experiences that complement your preferences. Our experts suggest choosing to personalise your itinerary to opt for activities that best suit your style.
Hiking to the Tiger’s Nest Monastery is the most important experience that you can have in Paro. This hike will take you around 4-6 hours, so you should start early in the morning.
Our Bhutan tour packages from Pune include a visit to Buddha Dordenma for easy access and wide valley views.
Another top experience travellers appreciate is visiting the National Institute for Zorig Chusum. Here, you can see students learning traditional Bhutanese arts.
Since Punakha Dzong is located at the confluence of Pho Chhu and the Mo Chhu rivers, it is a major cultural site in Bhutan. You can walk across the Punakha Suspension Bridge to see open views of river valleys and fields.
If you extend your Bhutan tour packages from Pune to 7 days, you can visit Phobjikha Valley. It has a beautiful landscape where you can see the migratory black-necked cranes that visit between late October and February.
Bumthang has some of the oldest temples in the country. Since it requires a long travel, you should include it in your itinerary only if you plan to stay in Bhutan for 8-15 days.
Mihir Joshi, a Pune-based traveller who booked the Best of Bhutan | Group Tour Package, said, “Bhutan's adventure offerings are less well known than its monasteries but equally compelling. The archery, the white-water kayaking, and the mountain biking sections of this itinerary added real energy alongside the cultural experiences. The guides understood how to balance both. A genuinely well-constructed experience.”
