Overview

Discover a Bhutan that few see — pristine valleys, secluded monasteries, gentle hikes through sacred forests, and the stillness of places untouched. This 6‑day journey traverses the less‑traveled highlands: from the capital to the glacial bowl of the Phobjikha Valley, then into Bhutan’s spiritual core in the central valleys. Think culture, nature, and quiet‑luxury combined.

Highlights

Visit the ancient fortress of Trongsa Dzong with sweeping central‑Bhutan views.
Explore the glacial valley of Phobjikha Valley and the iconic Gangtey Monastery.
Hike through rhododendron forests to the sacred cliff‑perched Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest).
Walk through traditional villages and meet artisans preserving ancient crafts.
Stay in boutique lodges and 3‑star (upgradeable) hotels, with all meals included.
Travel in a private SUV, with a licensed English‑speaking Bhutanese guide and all permits handled.
