The Bhutan The Last Shangri-La Tour is an initiative showcasing the vibrant cultural wealth of this small Himalayan utopia, famously referred to as the final Shangri-La. This seven-day expedition in Bhutan commences with a tour of the nation’s capital, Thimphu, where sites like the Memorial Chhorten, mini-zoo, National Institute of Traditional Medicine, folk heritage museum, and the grand Tashichho Dzong (castle) are visited. Subsequently, we journey to Punakha via Dochu La pass (3,100m) and visit Chimi Lhakhang temple en route. Punakha Dzong is toured, and the extraordinary Gangtey village is explored before moving on to Paro. In the scenic Paro valley, we tour Rinpung Dzong and Kichu Lhakhang temple. Our expedition culminates with a trek to the celebrated Tiger’s Nest Monastery - an ideal finale to one’s odyssey in the ultimate Shangri-La.

• Hotels in Bhutan are approved and classified by the government as grade A, B and C. These government approved hotels are equivalent to3-4 star hotels elsewhere. Based on availability at the time of booking, we will be accommodated in A- grade hotels in Paro and Thimphu and a B- grade hotel in Punakha. We use Hotel Namgay Heritage in Thimphu, Meri Puensum Resort in Punakha and Tashi Namgay Resort in Paro. All accommodations are on a twin-shared basis. Single supplement will be served on request and will cost USD 345.
• All meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are included during your stay in Bhutan. A variety of meals are available in most hotels the most popular being Indian, Chinese, and the more common continental food. Non-vegetarian dishes are generally available in most parts of Bhutan - pork, beef, chicken, and fish. The best advice is to ask the hotel and restaurant to recommend what is fresh and in season.
• Spring (March to May) and autumn (September and October) are the best time to visit Bhutan. The months of April and May offer the natural grandeur of rhododendron blooms whereas Bhutan observes its biggest festivals during spring. Bhutan can also be visited during summer and winter if one wishes to avoid crowd. However, the summers are wet and winters are cold which might not sit well with everybody.
