Package Highlights

Bhutan Horizons with Phobjikha Tour Package 9 Nights 10 Days is a peaceful and immersive Himalayan journey designed for travellers who want to explore Bhutan beyond the regular short route. This SkyHike package covers Phuentsholing, Thimphu, Punakha, Phobjikha Valley and Paro with scenic drives, monasteries, dzongs, cultural landmarks, mountain views and spiritual experiences.

Known for Gangtey Monastery, open landscapes, village views and winter habitat of black-necked cranes, Phobjikha adds a slow, meaningful and nature-rich experience to the trip.
