This tour is a luxurious, perfect overview of Bhutan, visiting Paro, Thimphu and Punakha. Throughout Bhutan, Artisans of Leisure will arrange for you to experience the best the country has to offer. Please let us know your interests so we can tailor the touring accordingly and incorporate activities such as trekking, farm visits, monastery visits, private archery lessons, shopping, cooking classes, spa treatments, blessings and meditations led by monks, hiking, biking, rafting, fly-fishing, and more.

Begin with comprehensive touring in Paro, a resort valley town nestled between the Himalayas. With your own private guide and driver, explore the town, the National Museum, the surrounding verdant valleys, and Tiger's Nest Monastery. Accommodation is in a spectacular villa at the Uma Paro.

Next, enjoy a beautiful drive along rivers and through mountains to Thimphu, Bhutan's charming capital. Thimphu is renowned for its high quality textiles and handicrafts. If your timing is right, explore the weekend market. Also opt to visit the Trashi Chhoe Dzong, National Textile Museum, Folk Heritage Museum, School of Traditional Arts, National Memorial Chorten (stupa), National Library or the Philatelic Center (Bhutan creates some of the world's most innovatively designed stamps). One of the world's highest golf course is also located here—let us know if you'd like us to schedule your tee time! Accommodation is at the new, luxurious, and ideally-located Taj Tashi, Thimphu.

Continue your drive through the mountains, passing the 108 stupas, to Punakha, the ancient winter capital, located in a sub-tropical area where rhododendron and magnolia bloom and orange and banana trees flourish. Relax at your luxurious farmhouse-style resort, set among rice terraces, chili and cabbage fields and traditional Bhutanese farmhouses. Enjoy some gentle hikes and cultural touring before returning to Paro for a night at the Aman resort.
