Bhutan tour 6 nights 7 days is a journey merging sightseeing tours in Paro, Punakha, and Thimphu with one-day homestay experience and a short Bumdra Trek. The 7-day trip begins with sightseeing of famous Paro and Punakha landmarks. At Punakha, we witness first-hand the rich Bhutanese community through a homestay. This should open up a new environment for us. Instead, we’ll fly to Thimphu, Bhutan’s capital, and visit many magnificent sights like numerous dzongs (fortresses), a traditional school of painting and others. The final aspect of the trip is about familiarizing us with the stunning Bhutanese countryside. Even during the trek, we visit the Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest) which is undoubtedly Bhutan’s most famous landmark.
