Planning a journey from the cold desert of Ladakh to the peaceful Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is a dream for every mountain lover. Both destinations offer breathtaking landscapes, deep-rooted Buddhist culture, and the charm of high-altitude life—but Bhutan has its own magical aura. With this specially designed Ladakh to Bhutan Tour Package, travelers enjoy a seamless travel experience with comfortable stays, smooth permits, local sightseeing, and guided exploration.
Since there are no direct flights between Ladakh and Bhutan, travelers first fly from Leh to Delhi and then take a connecting flight to Bagdogra or Guwahati—the nearest airports for Bhutan entry. From there, you enter Bhutan either by air (Paro Airport) or by road through the Phuentsholing border. Once inside the country, our Bhutan itinerary takes you through the cultural gems of Thimphu, scenic valleys of Paro, and the historical beauty of Punakha.
Bhutan is known for its monasteries, Dzongs, pristine rivers, fresh mountain air, and the philosophy of Gross National Happiness. Whether you're traveling for leisure, photography, honeymoon, or an adventure trip, this Ladakh to Bhutan tour is crafted to give you the best experiences, including Tiger's Nest Trek, Dochula Pass, Buddha Dordenma, Paro Dzong, Punakha Dzong, and local markets.
Your tour begins upon arrival in Bhutan where our representative welcomes you and transfers you to your hotel. The first day is ideal for acclimatizing while exploring local cafes, markets, and riverside viewpoints. Over the next few days, you explore the best sightseeing spots in Bhutan with a mix of nature, culture, and adventure.
In Thimphu, you visit the National Memorial Chorten, Tashichho Dzong, Simply Bhutan Museum, and the iconic Buddha Dordenma statue overlooking the city. A scenic drive takes you to Punakha through the panoramic Dochula Pass, where 108 memorial chortens offer stunning Himalayan views. In Punakha, the beautiful Punakha Dzong and the suspension bridge are among the most loved spots.
Next, you travel to Paro, home to Tiger's Nest—Bhutan's most famous hike. The trek takes around 5–6 hours and rewards you with incredible views and a peaceful monastery perched on a cliff. Paro also offers attractions like Paro Dzong, Kyichu Lhakhang, and vibrant markets selling handicrafts, woollens, thangkas, and Bhutanese souvenirs.
Your Ladakh to Bhutan tour ends with unforgettable memories of scenic landscapes, spiritual vibes, and the charming lifestyle of Bhutanese people. We arrange all logistics—flights (optional), hotels, transfers, permits, meals, guides, and more—ensuring a stress-free holiday. Whether you're a solo traveller, family, couple, or group, this tour gives you the best of Bhutan with the assurance of comfort and quality service.
