Full description

A 6-day trip out of Thimphu taking in Thimphu, Dochula Pass, Punakha Dzong and Punakha. The longest stop is Thimphu, at about 4 hours. There are 6 stops in all.

The running order is Thimphu (4h), then Dochula Pass, then Punakha Dzong, then Punakha, then Phobjikha Valley, and on from there.

The price covers private 6-day Bhutan tour, Private vehicle and professional driver, Airport pickup and airport drop-off in Bhutan and Accommodation for 5 nights in selected hotels. It does not cover international flights to/from Bhutan, Bhutan visa fee, unless specifically selected/included and Sustainable Development Fee (SDF), unless specifically selected/included, so budget for those separately. Two travellers pay $1641 together rather than $1505 each, because this is priced per party and not per head.
