A great Bhutan trip is about pacing, not rushing. These sample western-Bhutan itineraries build in gentle acclimatisation, the country's grandest dzongs, a scenic pass crossing and the unmissable hike to the Tiger's Nest. Use them as a starting point — we tailor the days, hotels and add-ons to suit you. Land packages start from around Rs 34,999 per person on twin-sharing, with SDF and flights quoted separately.

How these itineraries work

All plans focus on western Bhutan — the Paro, Thimphu and Punakha triangle — which offers the best mix of sights and easy travel times. Shorter 4-night trips cover the essentials, while 6–7 nights add Chele La, Haa valley or a slower pace. Every version keeps a gentle first day to help you acclimatise.

4 nights / 5 days — the essentials

Perfect for a first visit: Thimphu, the Dochula–Punakha loop and the Tiger's Nest hike, unhurried. Land price from around Rs 34,999 per person twin-sharing, with SDF nights and flights added on.

6–7 nights — the fuller journey

Add Chele La pass, the Haa valley or an extra day in Punakha for hiking and riverside time. Indicative land prices run from around Rs 44,999 (6N/7D) to Rs 49,999 (7N/8D) per person twin-sharing.

Entry permit and documents

Indian travellers do not need a visa. You need an entry permit and pay the Sustainable Development Fee (currently about Rs 1,200 per person per night, subject to change; children discounted). Carry a passport or Voter ID plus passport photos — we arrange the permit for you.

Best time to follow this plan

Spring and autumn give the clearest mountain views and the famous festivals, but are busiest. Summer is green and peaceful; winter is bright and quiet at lower valleys. We match your dates to weather and budget.

Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
