Six private days for two across Paro, Thimphu and riverside Punakha
Two people, one car, and no fixed wake-up call. We keep the first night in Paro so you land, breathe, and walk to Rinpung Dzong before the light goes. The middle nights sit low in Punakha where evenings stay warm enough for dinner outside, and the last night returns to Paro for a hot stone bath after the Taktsang walk.
Couples and honeymooners wanting privacy, warm valley nights and gentle walking
Your guide meets you outside arrivals with a white khadar scarf and drives the short valley road to your lodge. Late afternoon is spent on the stone bridge below Rinpung Dzong, then dinner beside the window with the fortress lit above the river.
Climb to Buddha Dordenma in the morning while the valley is still clear, then walk the kora at the National Memorial Chorten with local elders. The afternoon is yours: a coffee in town, a quiet browse through a textile studio, or a nap before dinner.
Hot tea at the 108 chortens of Dochula before the road drops two thousand metres into subtropical Punakha. In the afternoon you walk the rice bunds to Chimi Lhakhang and check into a room facing the river.
Cross the suspension bridge and climb the ridge path to Khamsum Yuelley Namgyal Chorten for the wide river bend below. Lunch is at a farmhouse in Lobesa, and the rest of the day belongs to a long bath, a massage, or nothing at all.
Retrace the pass road west with a stop under the magnolias at Lamperi. The evening ends in a Tshendona farmhouse with a private dotsho hot stone bath and dinner cooked in the family kitchen.
Walk as far as the Taktsang cafeteria viewpoint in the cool morning, then return for a late breakfast before your airport transfer.
Travel insurance strongly recommended: cover mountain medical care, altitude evacuation, and Paro weather flight delays. Read the travel insurance note
