Bhutan by group tour or private tour will introduce the Happy Kingdom’s treasures, especially Paro (Tiger’s Nest), capital Thimpu and the Punakha Dzong.

Below are our most visited cities, destinations and national parks in Bhutan.

Paro is where most visitors will enter the Kingdom of Bhutan, because it hosts the international airport. Yet, Paro is a small city with a few hotels and the main tourist attraction in Bhutan: the Tiger´s Nest Monastery - an easy trek.

The Capital of Bhutan (approx. 80´000 inhabitants) is quite relaxing like the rest of Bhutan. The main government buildings are here, shared with Buddhist monasteries. You may find locals practicing the national sports of Archery (bow and long arrow). There are some REALLY nice hotels, like the heritage hotel and the Taj - but not cheap.

Punakha is one of the dongs with a magnificent traditional "city hall / monastery".

The Dochu La Pass is a mountain pass in the snow covered Himalayas within Bhutan on the road from Thimphu to Punakha.
