Experience Bhutan’s Black Crane Festival, scenic valley walks and visits to dzongs and monasteries on a guided adventure that starts and ends in Kathmandu, travelling through Paro, Thimphu, Gangtey and Punakha. We spend 10 nights in locally owned hotels chosen for comfort, value and location, all with bathrooms and heaters. Meals at hotels and local restaurants are usually simple buffet-style, mixing Bhutanese, continental and Chinese dishes. Solo travellers can request private rooms for a supplement.
