For travellers who have only a few days, this short escape focuses on the essentials and does them well: the Tiger's Nest, the capital, a butter-lamp ceremony and a farewell dinner to remember.

It pairs easily with a longer journey elsewhere in the Himalaya.

Highlights

  • The Tiger's Nest with a picnic
  • A private day in Thimphu
