Pilgrimage Tours
A Vibedu venture
Bhutan's classic western triangle of capital, valleys and grand dzongs
The Thimphu–Paro–Punakha circuit is the classic introduction to Bhutan, taking in the three great valleys of the country's west over 5–7 days. You'll explore the relaxed capital Thimphu, the historic valley of Paro with its cliff-clinging Tiger's Nest, and the warm, lower Punakha valley with its riverside dzong. It is the ideal first trip for travellers who want the highlights without long drives. Holiday Vibez arranges your Bhutan Entry Permit and a private guided itinerary end to end.
Land at Paro (PBH) for one of the Himalaya's most scenic approaches, then drive to Thimphu and settle in.
Visit the Buddha Dordenma, Tashichho Dzong, the memorial chorten and local craft workshops.
Cross the Dochula Pass, then descend to Punakha to visit its stunning dzong and walk to Chimi Lhakhang.
Drive back over the pass to the Paro valley, visiting Kyichu Lhakhang and the Paro dzong area.
Take on the rewarding uphill hike to Taktsang monastery, with tea-house stops and sweeping valley views.
Enjoy a final Bhutanese breakfast before your transfer to Paro airport for departure.

Thimphu, Paro and Punakha sit within comfortable driving distance of each other and together showcase Bhutan's culture, architecture and landscapes. This circuit balances city, valley and mountain pass, making it the most popular route for first-time visitors and those short on time.
Highlights across the three valleys include:
Fly into Paro (PBH), the country's only international airport and a dramatic Himalayan landing. From there all travel is overland by private vehicle. Overland entry via Phuentsholing is an alternative for those combining Bhutan with a wider India route.
Indian citizens do not require a traditional visa. You need an Entry Permit (which we arrange) and travel on a valid Indian passport or Voter ID. A Sustainable Development Fee applies, currently about ₹1,200 per person per night for Indians (children discounted, under-6 exempt; subject to change). Please carry recent passport-size photographs.
The most reliable seasons are March–May, with rhododendron blooms, and September–November, with clear post-monsoon skies. Winters are cold but crisp and quiet; summers can bring rain and cloud that may obscure mountain views.
Packages typically cover your Entry Permit processing, private vehicle and licensed guide, accommodation and daily breakfast. The final quote varies by chosen hotels, season, flights and the number of SDF nights.
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
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.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
