11D Beyond the Sky and the Clouds
Paro, Thimpu, Punakha, Phobjikha & Bumthang

Traveling through Bhutan’s ethereal landscape on the way to the wild centre, we pass countless golden roofed monasteries and prayer flag covered hilltops, navigate endless emerald valleys and ancient forests with snow-capped Himalayan peaks in the background throughout. This ten-night package promises an easy yet comprehensive experience of the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, with accommodation split between the luxury resort of Uma Paro, and carefully-sourced, traditional hotels in the less developed regions. The adventure starts with an exploration of the bustling markets and colorful museums of the capital Thimpu, before heading over the spectacular Dochhula Pass and following the Mo Chhu (Mother River) to Punakha and the Divine Madman’s temple Chimmi Lhakhang.
