This 2 week Discovery holiday is the ultimate tour of Bhutan, travelling right across the country from west to east, reaching the parts of this magical kingdom other tours can't reach. After flying from Delhi to Paro and visiting the incredible 'Tigers Nest' monastery and Bhutan's capital Thimpu, we begin our Ultimate Bhutan Tour with a drive across the Dolchu La to Punakha and the quiet Phobjikha valley. We journey in a leisurely fashion eastwards across high passes and through beautiful valleys, stopping frequently as we come to the next awe inspiring view or magnificent fortress monastery (known as dzongs). Arriving in Bumthang we spend a day exploring its picturesque valleys before turning south-east to travel first to Mongar and on the charming Trashigang. We spend a day to watch the festivals in each of these south-eastern Bhutanese towns. Finally we travel through Samdrup Jongkhar, Bhutan's most easterly district and this unique tour ends with a border crossing into Assam and from here we fly back to Delhi. If you want to discover the real Bhutan, this is the holiday for you.
This is one of five departures of our Ultimate Bhutan Tour. On four of these, the group will attend a Bhutan Tsechu (festival), with a different and unique festival for each departure. Each departure of the Ultimate Bhutan Tour therefore has a slightly different itinerary and its own holiday dossier.
