Bhutan Paro Tour
Bhutan Paro Tour is the experience of the breathtaking views of Mount Everest, Kanchenjunga, and other Himalayan peaks, including sacred Chomolhari and Mt. Jichu Drake in Bhutan while flying into Paro valley
Discover the cultural richness of the Bhutan Paro Tour, the mystical Himalayan kingdom known for its deeply rooted Buddhist traditions and awe-inspiring landscapes. Begin your journey in Paro, one of the first valleys in Bhutan to embrace Buddhism. Paro offers a perfect introduction to the country’s spiritual heritage through visits to ancient dzongs, serene monasteries, traditional handicraft centers, and Thangka painting schools.
This tour is conducted by 4WD vehicles, covering Bhutan’s three most significant cities: Thimphu, Punakha, and Wangdue Phodrang.
Thimphu – The Secluded Capital
Thimphu, nestled in a forested valley on the banks of the Thimphu Chhu (River), is unlike any other world capital. Free of traffic lights and large crowds, it blends traditional Bhutanese charm with a peaceful atmosphere. Explore cultural landmarks, local markets, and government buildings infused with traditional architecture.
Punakha and Wangdue Phodrang – Fortress Heritage
Visit Punakha Dzong, Bhutan’s most majestic dzong, located at the confluence of two rivers. Continue to Wangdue Phodrang, where the fortress is perched on a ridge, offering sweeping views of the surrounding valleys. These dzongs are fortified monasteries that serve as religious, administrative, and cultural centers.
Hike to the Iconic Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest)
A highlight of your Bhutan cultural tour is the hike to Taktsang Monastery, also known as Tiger’s Nest. Clinging to a cliff 900 meters above the Paro Valley floor, this sacred site is where Guru Rinpoche is believed to have meditated. The peaceful soundscape of chanting monks, rustling trees, and flowing water makes this a spiritual experience like no other.
Accompanied by an experienced English-speaking guide throughout the journey. This tour offers deep insights into Bhutan’s religion, culture, architecture, and monastic life.

Reviews
Simply put “WOW”.
Simply put “WOW”. I have never met more responsible people in my life. They made sure every step of the way was taken care of from the drivers, tour guides, trek guides, porters and hotel accommodations. I highly recommend this company for its hard working, responsible and friendly people. The people make a company. Special thanks to: Anuja “the planner”, Chitiz & Ashmir “the ultimate trekking guides” and finally Robin “the enthusiastic jungle bird watcher”.

San Diego, CaliforniaPlan Holidays did a fantastic job on our whole trip!
Plan Holidays did a fantastic job on our whole trip! We did the trip that included time in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan National Park and a 5-day trek around Annapurna. From the moment we stepped off the plane, we had guides showing us around and everything was perfectly planned for us. Maila, our trekking guide was amazing and had so much knowledge! It was a great trip!

Boston, MassachusettsIncredibly well organized
This company was amazing. Incredibly well organized. I felt safe and spoiled. Our airport transports were always early and waiting for us. All of our reservations for our accommodations and busses were perfect. The temple tour we took was super fun and educational. Some of our luggage got stuck in our layover country and between this travel agency and our hotel they were able to get it for us and deliver it the next day. We also had a 10month old traveling with us and they made sure that our accommodation and travel plans were safe for him. During our 5 days of trekking, we had THE BEST guide/sherpa. I would positively let them plan another trip for us. Thank you!!!!

I had a wonderful experience
I recently booked a tour with Plan Holidays, and I had a wonderful experience. Anuja scheduled the tour, and it was comforting to have our trip covered without any concerns. Our guide Shiva took us through Kathmandu, and showed all us the highlights of the city and provided us with the cultural and historical background. We also did the Poon Hill Trek with guides Chitiz and Ashmir, who provided a peaceful hike through the Himalayas. On our last two days, we spent time in Chitwan National Park, where our guide, Robin, took us on adventures where we saw crocodiles and rhinos.
The entire package was affordable, and our guides met our every need; they went out of their way for us on many occasions. It was comforting to get off the bus and see our guides waiting for us with our name tags. I would highly encourage anyone to book a trip through this company. I promise that you will have an amazing experience–five stars!
