The experience at a glance

Discover the enchantments of the Last Himalayan Kingdom on our 2 Nights 3 Days Shortest Bhutan Tour, offering a time-limited trip plan that is part of the Bhutan Holiday Package. This intentional itinerary reveals you to the stunning scenery, ancient monasteries, vibrant Buddhist culture and friendly reception, and introduces you across the land to the country's most special destination - Paro.

The highlight of this short Bhutan road trip is the unforgettable hike to the world-famous Tiger's Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang), dramatically perched on a cliff 900 meters above the Paro Valley. The sacred monastery is Bhutan’s most famous feature, and not only has majestic mountain views, but this is a deep spiritual site of great value. Even if you are not a hike-head, you can still experience scenic views and explore the delightful town of Paro.

Along the way, you will also visit some of Paro’s most significant cultural sights, such as Rinpung Dzong, Kyichu Lhakhang (one of Bhutan’s oldest temples), the National Museum and local Bhutanese villages. They’re all part of an authentic look at Bhutan’s rich history, architecture and way of life, in every stop along the way. The most perfect Bhutan 3-day tour for Nepal, Tibet & India holiday combining, business traveler and Himalayan rush. The itinerary can be modified for you based on your arrival and departure flights.

What travellers say

Rated 5 across 1 traveller review.

My wife and I recently used Himalayan Windows to coordinate a short trip to Bhutan. Anup was kind, prompt, and professional throughout the process. He arranged a 3-day, 2-night trip that packed in the best of Bhutan for the time that we had. We enjoyed the flight over Mount Everest, the incredible dzongs, and the trek up to the Tiger's Nest monastery. The price was very reasonable, considering the package included a driver and a guide who took us everywhere. Himalayan Windows made sure that our travel visas and airline tickets were ready when we arrived. Anup also coordinated a hike for us from Nagarkot to Dhulikhel in Nepal. Once again, the price was reasonable and the experience was incredible. Our guide and driver were knowledgeable, courteous, and accommodating. We plan to return to Nepal soon, and will once again rely on Anup and Himalayan Windows to provide a great time at a great price.
