Bhutan

Bhutan
Bhutan is a peaceful, safe and very friendly country in the Eastern Himalayas. If you are looking for backpacking, discos, beaches and party time, you have come to the wrong country. Bhutan is very quiet, but offers magnificent monasteries, great scenery and excellent (!) hotels. People love their royal family. TRADITION is written in capitals (e.g. clothing). But it is pricy (USD 200-250 per person, per day) and you can only visit in a tour (with a local operator).

Top Destinations in Bhutan.

Below are our most visited cities, destinations and national parks in Bhutan. Click on the city for more details of the destination.

Paro

Paro

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.

Thimpu

Thimpu

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

Punakha

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

Dochula Pass

Dochula Pass

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