Luxury Bhutan Solo Vacation

Luxury Bhutan Solo Vacation

This luxurious solo adventure through Bhutan has been designed to show the main highlights of four very different valleys – Thimphu, Punakha, Gangtey and Paro - while staying in a very high level of accommodation throughout. Join forces with a knowledgeable and experienced guide and unravel the many mysteries of this most fascinating of travel destinations.

Begin your journey through Bhutan in the tiny capital city, Thimphu. Your guide will show you the sights, such as the Golden Buddha statue and fascinating Memorial Chorten, but more importantly, will start to explain this unique little country to you. Next, visit Punakha, via the prayer-flag-covered Dochu-la pass. The Dzong in Punakha is an incredibly important building and is visually stunning. Hike to Chhimi Lhakang monastery to learn more about the divine madman who once lived here. Head deeper into Bhutan and visit the Phobjikha Valley, in Gangtey. This high, starkly beautiful valley is the winter home of the endangered black-neck cranes, and also one of Bhutan’s oldest monasteries, the Gangtey Goemba. Stay at the sublime Gangtey Lodge and explore with your guide. The final stop on your Bhutanese adventure is Paro. Climb to the extraordinary Tiger’s Nest monastery, clinging precariously to the cliff face. This monastery has a very strong presence and atmosphere and is hugely interesting. Shop for souvenirs in the town before flying back to Delhi and onwards home. An incredible experience.
