About the trip

This five-night escorted tour by G Adventures takes a gently paced route through Bhutan’s mountain heart. Beginning in Paro, there’s time to visit Paro Dzong and the archery grounds before a hike up to Taktsang Monastery, better known as Tiger’s Nest, which clings famously to a cliff face above the valley.

As the group moves on, Punakha emerges with its impressive dzong near the confluence of two rivers, while the fairly compact capital, Thimphu, offers a chance to stroll the streets or visit a preserve for the strange takin, Bhutan’s national animal. Along the way, local cultural interactions and Buddhist gompas give a steady drip of insight into Bhutanese life, where tradition is maintained with the quiet authority of a kingdom that prefers calm over crowds.

Comfortable hotels and private vehicles link each place, while the pace leaves room to breathe deeply in the Himalayan air. The small group, led by a G Adventures CEO, offers both company and enough flexibility to take in the country’s slower rhythms without rushing.
