Itinerary

Arrive at Paro International Airport. Clear immigration and baggage, meet our representative and transfer to your hotel in Thimphu — a 55 km, ninety-minute drive up the Wang Chhu valley. The capital, and the only one in the world without a traffic light — a valley of dzongs, weaving studios and a very large seated Buddha. The rest of the day is free to settle in. Overnight in Thimphu.

Breakfast at the hotel and check out. Time for any last shopping in Thimphu, where the Norzin Lam shops and the handicrafts market stock textiles, thangkas and incense. You are then driven down the Paro Chhu valley to Paro International Airport for the onward flight. The tour ends here, and we hope it is not your last visit to Bhutan.
