The experts at Green Valley Nepal Treks have designed the 5 Nights 6 Days Bhutan Tour package so that you may take advantage of all the things Bhutan has to offer.

You can be sure to have a lovely escape from ordinary life when you combine gorgeous surroundings with spiritual experiences.

On the 5 Nights 6 Days Bhutan Tour, in addition to seeing the local culture, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains and scenery. Dochula Pass and Tiger's Nest Monastery are two of the greatest places to get a view of these sublime vistas. From the vantage points, you can see the peaks of several neighboring mountains. You will go through several rivers, thick forests, and waterfalls on your route from one city to the next. Your tour will include incredible moments that you won't soon forget.

After a dazzling flight over high mountains from Kathmandu to Paro International Airport, your 5 Nights 6 Days Bhutan tour will begin. The capital of Bhutan, Thimphu, is reachable after a brief yet picturesque journey through the magnificent Bhutanese countryside. Admire the magnificent National Memorial Chorten, erected in honor of Bhutan's third king. Enjoy an amazing view of the capital city by taking a drive up to the mountaintop shrine of Buddha Dordenma.

You will return to Paro after visiting Punakha and Wangdue to explore additional historic sites. Some of Bhutan's most well-known heritage sites can be found in Paro, one of the nation's major cities.

On a hilltop with an outstanding view of the city, you will see the Rinpung, also known as the Paro Dzong.

Useful Info

5 Nights 6 Days Bhutan Tour Package Best Time

Your interests and choices will determine the best time to visit Bhutan. Bhutan has four distinct seasons just like Nepal, each with advantages and disadvantages of its own:

  • Spring (March-May): Spring is an excellent season to visit Bhutan when the weather is nice and the scenery is full of rhododendron, cherry blossoms, and other wildflowers. Moreover, this is a well-liked time for celebrations that let visitors fully experience Bhutanese culture.
  • Summer (June - August): Bhutan experiences its heaviest rainfall and landslides during the summer. But this is also the season when the countryside is verdant, and the monsoon clouds provide stunning views of the mountains. This is a great time to go hiking because the trails have less traffic.
  • Autumn (September-November): Autumn is a popular season to visit Bhutan because of the country's dry, temperate weather and brilliant skies, which offer breathtaking views of the Himalayas. It's also a great opportunity to take in the many activities held during this season and to witness the breathtaking fall colors of Bhutan's forests.
  • Winter (December - February): The driest season in Bhutan is winter, which features chilly evenings and clear blue skies during the day. Since many migratory species come during this season, if you enjoy bird watching, this is a great time to visit Bhutan. For an uncrowded view of Bhutan's historic temples and monasteries, winter is a great time of year.

Your interests and choices will determine the best time to visit Bhutan. If you want to go trekking, the summer might be the best time of year to visit; however, if you want to attend festivals, autumn or spring might be preferable. If you want to enjoy pleasant weather and bright skies, autumn might be the ideal time of year to come.

Accommodation, Foods, and Drinks on 5 Nights 6 Days Bhutan Tour

Conventional lodgings that have been recognized by the Department of Tourism often provide electricity, hot and cold running water, and sometimes room phones. However, guests may have to make international calls through reception. There are a few upscale hotels, although they are not inexpensive. Green Valley Nepal treks will make reservations for your lodging. Upmarket resorts may charge more than the base rate, so be prepared for that. Additionally, keep in mind that hotels are often booked far in advance during festival season, so be prepared to be adaptable.

While there is a large selection of restaurants in Paro and Thimphu, most visitors prefer to dine at the hotels, where the food is prepared to a Western palate's preference and sanitary is good. The main food is rice, which is occasionally spiced with saffron or red rice. However, in central Bhutan, rice farming is challenging due to the high altitude. Here, buckwheat is more prevalent. There are many apple orchards, rice paddies, and wild asparagus growing throughout the nation. Additionally, there are over 400 different kinds of mushrooms, including orchid mushrooms.

Bhutan’s Specialties:

  • Cow's milk cheese, or dautse, is occasionally served with red chilies (ema datshi).
  • Curry, or tshoem, is typically served with rice.
  • Bhutan is home to nutty-flavored eue chum, or pink rice.

Regional Drinks: Tea, either sweet or Tibetan style with butter and salt, is the most popular beverage. Rice is used to distill ara, a spirit. Chang is a type of beer that is typically made at home using grain.

Note: Most meals are vegetarian and are served buffet style. Nowadays, Bhutanese Hindus from Nepal are allowed to kill animals, and meat and fish are imported from neighboring India. Take the usual safety measures.

5 Nights 6 Days Bhutan Tour Difficulties

Like any destination, travelers may face certain difficulties even if a 5 Nights 6 Days Bhutan Tour promises an unforgettable and rewarding experience. To guarantee a seamless and pleasurable trip, it is necessary to be aware of these possible challenges:

  • Altitude Sensitivity: Bhutan is known for its varied elevations, and tourists may suffer from the symptoms of altitude sickness, particularly on higher-elevation trips. It's important to gradually acclimate, drink enough of water, and discuss preventative steps with your healthcare physician.
  • Limited Internet Connectivity: Internet connectivity could be unreliable in certain isolated places. Visitors ought to prepare for communication requirements and be ready for sporadic difficulties when using online services.
  • Varied Weather Conditions: The weather in Bhutan varies according to altitude and season, making it somewhat unpredictable. Particularly during the monsoon season, travelers should pack appropriately, including layers for changing temperatures and rain gear.
  • Road Conditions: Although Bhutan's road system is constantly being improved, certain regions may have difficult or twisting routes. Prepare yourself for beautiful, but occasionally slow, travel hours between destinations.
  • Cultural Etiquette: Respecting and being aware of Bhutanese cultural standards is crucial. Travelers who unintentionally violate local customs may encounter difficulties. A favorable connection can be ensured by making small gestures, such as asking permission before taking pictures in certain areas or dressing appropriately when visiting places of worship.
  • Limited Tourist Infrastructure in Remote Areas: Compared to metropolitan areas, the infrastructure for tourists may be less developed in more rural areas. Although this enhances the experience's authenticity, guests should be ready for basic facilities and services.
  • Restricted Access to Certain Areas: Access to some areas of Bhutan may be restricted in order to preserve the natural environment and cultural landmarks. If there are any restrictions, visitors should be aware of them and adjust their itinerary appropriately. They can also ask local advisors about other choices.
  • Language Barrier: Although most people speak English, especially in tourist destinations, visitors may run into linguistic obstacles in more rural places. The native language, Dzongkha, has a few fundamental words that can be learned to improve communication and cross-cultural exchanges.
  • Limited Currency Exchange Options: Even though major towns offer currency conversion services, travelers should be ready to pay with the local currency (Ngultrum) in more isolated locations as credit card acceptance may be restricted.
  • Wildlife Encounters: Wildlife encounters are possible in some natural places. Especially when going on walks and engaging in outdoor activities, visitors should exercise caution and adhere to safety regulations.
  • Time Constraints: With only five nights and six days, travelers might feel strained for time to properly take in all that Bhutan has to offer. Making the most of the little time can be achieved by ranking the must-see sights and activities.

    Highly Recommend Bhutan Trip

    Our six-day, five-night tour of Bhutan was very amazing. Every day was an adventure, with everything from the calm monasteries to the lively local markets and the stunning vistas of the mountains. Green Valley Nepal Treks made sure we had a genuine experience by carefully organizing every detail. We shall never forget the unspoiled beauty of Bhutan and the kindness of its people. Strongly advised!

FAQs
  • The package typically includes accommodation, guided tours to key attractions, meals as per the itinerary, transportation within Bhutan, and assistance with the Bhutanese visa application.

  • Our team will assist you in obtaining the Bhutanese visa. You'll need to provide necessary documents, and the visa will be processed before your arrival in Bhutan.

  • The ideal time is during the spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) when the weather is pleasant. However, specific preferences, such as experiencing festivals or enjoying winter landscapes, may influence your choice.

  • While the tour is designed to be accessible to most travelers, some activities may involve walking and hiking. If you have specific concerns, please inform our team in advance, and we can tailor the itinerary to your needs.

  • Yes, the itinerary can be customized to some extent. Our team can discuss your preferences and make adjustments, keeping in mind the overall feasibility and schedule.

  • Accommodations vary but are selected for comfort and convenience. You can expect a mix of hotels, lodges, or guesthouses that reflect Bhutanese hospitality.

  • While major towns have internet connectivity, more remote areas may have limited access. It's advisable to inform loved ones about potential communication gaps and to be prepared for occasional challenges in accessing online services.

  • Yes, meals are typically included as per the itinerary. You'll have the opportunity to savor Bhutanese cuisine and, in some cases, international dishes. Dietary preferences and restrictions can be accommodated with prior notice.

  • Pack comfortable clothing suitable for the weather and planned activities. Modest attire is recommended, especially when visiting religious sites. Sturdy walking shoes and layers for varying temperatures are essential.

  • It is accurate to say that Bhutan costs more than Nepal and India. To make tours to Bhutan appear more expensive, the government of Bhutan has implemented an all-inclusive overnight pricing structure for all visitors. As a consistent tour operator in Bhutan for ten years, we have heard from recurring customers that they truly obtain value for their money. In light of the tour, each visitor gets access to a private guide, car, and driver. The package also includes all meals, lodging, sightseeing, entrance fees, transfers, taxes, and government royalties. Bhutan is a truly delightful country to visit, and it offers fantastic value for the money.

  • Not at all! Without a prearranged land trip plan with a licensed and approved tour operator and payment of the required nightly all-inclusive government tariff, it is not feasible to obtain an entry visa to visit Bhutan. The government of Bhutan steers clear of independent tourists in order to preserve its rigid cultural norms and natural values. On the other hand, you have a lot of freedom to explore the area, visit towns and marketplaces, and engage with the people as you like. You are free to plan your own private tour; you are not required to go with another group; it only needs to be scheduled and paid for in advance.

  • A staff member from Green Valley Nepal Treks will indeed be waiting to welcome you outside the terminal building. He'll be holding up your name card. You'll be taken to a hotel after that.
