Bhutan Tour Packages

Where the Himalayas Meet the Thunder Dragon

If happiness had a definition, it would be Bhutan. With the serenity of the mountains and ancient heritage sites, you can’t help but fall in love with one of India’s gorgeous neighbours. All of this is enough to make you explore Cholan Tours’ pre-curated Bhutan tour packages.

Locally known as Druk Yul, or the Land of the Thunder Dragon, Bhutan is a second-to-none destination. Surrounded by high, snow-capped mountains and frozen glaciers, and nestled in the serene eastern Himalayas, this stunning destination measures success in gross national happiness rather than gross domestic product.

With beautiful valleys and monasteries hiding around every turn, a Bhutan tour package stays with you long after you return home. Unlocking enchantment at every step, this serene land perfectly blends ancient fortresses (dzongs), sublime mountain views, and time-worn Buddhist traditions.

Well-crafted Bhutan travel packages take you through this fantasy land, whether it's a romantic getaway, an adrenaline-powered mountain adventure, or a divine escape for much-needed peace.

Top Destinations Included in Bhutan Holiday Packages

At Cholan Tours, we craft every trip around Bhutan's incredible charm and culture. Listed below are some major destinations included in our Bhutan trip packages:

Paro: The Gateway to the Kingdom

Home to Bhutan’s sole international airport, Paro town sits on the valley floor (approximately 2,200 metres, or 7,200 feet, above sea level). Boasting one of its remarkable landmarks, Paro Taktsang (Tiger’s Nest Monastery), you cannot afford to miss trekking to Tiger’s Nest if you’re an adventurer at heart. Don’t miss the historic Rinpung Dzong and the National Museum of Bhutan. Enquire about Paro tour packages to plan a magical holiday in this enchanting valley town.

Thimphu: The Eclectic Capital

Thimphu is the only national capital in the world with no traffic lights. Instead, uniformed traffic officers use hand gestures. Our user-friendly Thimphu tour packages will make your trip memorable and ensure that you take away fond memories. 

As the country’s capital, Thimphu highlights some of the major attractions:

  • Buddha Dordenma (Buddha Point): This enormous 169-foot-tall bronze Buddha statue overlooks the valley below.
  • Simply Bhutan Museum: This trendy living museum makes you experience traditional archery, folk dances, and delicious local food.
  • Motithang Takin Preserve: See the Takin, Bhutan's unique national animal.

Punakha: The Valley of Rivers

At the intersection of the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers, don’t miss Punakha Dzong, which will leave you in awe. You can walk across the well-known Punakha Suspension Bridge or trek up to Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten.

Phobjikha (Gangtey) Valley: The Glacial Haven

Phobjikha is a jaw-dropping U-shaped glacial valley for travellers who seek nothing short of offbeat landscapes. It acts as the winter home for the critically rare black-necked cranes, migrating from Tibet.
