Embark on a captivating 6-day journey to the enchanting kingdom of Bhutan, culminating in the vibrant and spiritually uplifting Paro Festival. This adventure promises a blend of cultural immersion, natural beauty, nature hikes and a deep dive into Bhutan’s rich heritage and culture.

Your journey begins in the picturesque town of Paro, nestled in the Himalayan foothills, where traditional Bhutanese architecture and serene landscapes welcome you. Here, the air is crisp, and the pace of life is delightfully tranquil.

The Paro Tshechu (Festival) is not just a tourist attraction but a deeply spiritual event for the Bhutanese people. Monks and laypeople alike partake in this centuries-old tradition, marked by mystical mask dances, elaborate costumes, and soul-stirring music, all set against the backdrop of majestic Paro Dzong.

Beyond the festival, your journey will take you to Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan and Punakha; where you will be introduced to splendor of the majestic Punakha Dzong. As you explore these valleys, the stories of Bhutan’s past will unfold, narrating tales of warriors, saints, and kings.

This 6-day trip to Bhutan is more than a vacation; It’s an opportunity to witness a society where happiness is measured not in material wealth but in spiritual well-being. This trip promises to be a profound experience that will linger in your memory long after you’ve returned home.

Breathe Bhutan being a quality and standard oriented entity; what we want our guest to take back is an expression, which defines who we are.

  1. Hotels: We are very picky with where we keep our guests. The hotels we pick are hotels we personally like and which are also highly reviewed by our former guests. The three star hotels and accommodations we recommend are mostly family run and they not only provide excellent service but they also have something special in each one of them.
  2. Water: We do not charge for the unlimited mineral water supply. As a company, we are environmentally conscious and we are currently working on a way to reduce the use of single use plastic bottles.
  3. Meals: Unlike other tour operators, we do not dictate what you should eat and where you should eat. Our guides will always ask your mood for food and take you to appropriate restaurants. If you are eating your meals at the hotel, you do not necessarily have to eat from the buffet; you have the option to order from the menu.
  4. Guides: We are very selective with the tour guides we work with. They are highly experienced, humble and always ready to go out of their way to keep the guest happy.
  5. Vehicles: While traveling Bhutan, you will have to do a lot of vehicle travel and a comfortable vehicle is important. For one and two people in the group, we only assign four-wheel SUV vehicles and they will not be older than 4 years. For more than two people, we use Toyota Hi Ace High Roof Travel Vans and have to be new or else in great condition.
  6. Nightlife in Thimphu: If you are someone who like live music or like to taste local beer and whiskey, we always take you to Mojo Park (a live music club) in Thimphu and we cover all expenses. Mojo Park is a great place to check out the nightlife culture in Bhutan, especially on the weekends.
  7. Others: You need to visit to unlock the other surprises.
