An 11-day loop from Thimphu to Bumthang and out to remote Haa Valley — the fullest cultural circuit we offer.
For travelers who want more than the highlights, this route adds Bumthang's sacred valleys and a day trip to little-visited Haa on top of the classic Thimphu–Punakha–Paro circuit. Expect long, scenic drives between destinations, a night in a restored royal-era palace guesthouse, and enough time in each valley to slow down.
