For travelers from Maharashtra looking for a refreshing international getaway, our Pune to Bhutan Tour Package brings the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, adventure, and cultural immersion.
This thoughtfully designed Bhutan holiday begins with your arrival at Bagdogra Airport or NJP Railway Station, the nearest Indian gateways to Bhutan. From here, we drive you to the Indo-Bhutan border town of Phuentsholing, where you enter a completely different world of serenity. After completing the entry permit formalities, your Bhutan journey unfolds with visits to beautiful cities like Thimphu, Paro, and Punakha — each known for its rich heritage, ancient fortresses, and breathtaking views.
In Thimphu, you explore iconic attractions like Buddha Dordenma — one of the tallest sitting Buddha statues in the world, Tashichho Dzong — the center of Bhutanese governance, and the vibrant markets offering unique handicrafts. A scenic drive over the Dochula Pass introduces you to panoramic Himalayan views before descending into Punakha Valley, home to the majestic Punakha Dzong. This fortress, set between the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers, is among the most stunning and historic monuments in the entire Himalayan region.
Your journey continues to Paro, known for its pristine valleys, traditional houses, and iconic landmarks.
