Short Bhutan Tour 4 Days
Bhutan is renowned for its ancient fortress, dramatic landscapes, fascinating cultural heritage, and kind hospitality.
A trip to this land of Thunder Dragons is always adventurous, whether it is short or long. In this package, we are introducing you to a short 4-day Bhutan tour from Kathmandu, Nepal. People of any age and country can join us on this short Bhutan tour for four days.
You will discover the Bhutanese people's traditions, beliefs, and norms during the Bhutan tour. You will learn about their traditional textile, paper, and handicrafts and visit folklore museums.
Untouched by modernity in many ways, Bhutan takes you back in time where you get to know about the brave Bhutanese warriors and kings & queens.
Tourism in Bhutan began in the mid-1970s, following a strict policy of allowing only a few tourists yearly to safeguard the environment and culture.
On this four-day Bhutan Trip, you will explore many tourist sites and try Bhutanese delicacies. The short Tour begins at Paro airport, where our representatives will pick you up.
You will then explore Ta Dzong and Paro Dzong and drive to Thimphu for the night. The following day, we have a full-day Activity in Thimphu that begins with a visit to the National Folk Heritage Museum and then to the National Textile Museum.
During the Tour, you will visit many other places, such as National Memorial Chorten, Paper Factory, Simtokha Dzong, and Tashichho Dzong.
On day two, we will drive back to Paro from Thimphu after the full-day Tour to spend the night. We will hike to Taktsang Monastery, the Tiger's Nest, the following day.
It is one of the most photogenic locations in Bhutan. The monastery is perched graciously on the edge of a cliff more than 10,000 above sea level.
If you cannot walk, we can arrange a horse for you. The colorful prayer flags and the spectacular panorama of the mountains make the hike a lifetime experience.
We will visit several other places in Paro: Drukgyel Dzong and Kyichu Lhakhang. During the tours of these monuments, we will also explore the local markets and shops.
