A 10-day journey from Thimphu through Punakha and Bumthang to the crane valley of Phobjikha, finishing in Paro.
This route trades speed for depth — a full day in each major valley rather than a quick stop, including Bumthang's temple cluster and an overnight near the black-necked cranes of Phobjikha before finishing with Tiger's Nest.
