Bhutan is known as the “Happiest Country” in the world, but its appeal extends far beyond that title. Nestled on the eastern edge of the Himalayas, this peaceful kingdom is renowned for its dramatic mountain landscapes, ancient monasteries, and deeply preserved way of life. Often referred to as the last Shangri-La, Bhutan offers travellers a rare opportunity to experience a destination where traditions remain woven into everyday life.
Whether you are seeking scenic hikes, visits to remote villages, river rafting, meditation, spiritual retreats, or colourful local festivals, these experiences can all be incorporated into your customised Bhutan travel package. The country’s diverse landscapes, ranging from lush valleys to soaring Himalayan peaks, provide the backdrop for journeys that are as enriching as they are memorable.
For travellers looking to disconnect from the pace of modern life and reconnect with nature, culture, and themselves, a Bhutan luxury tour offers a truly unique experience.

Nestled in a picturesque valley, Paro is one of Bhutan’s most historically and culturally significant destinations, home to ancient monasteries, fortresses, and sacred landmarks. Its most iconic attraction is the Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang), dramatically perched on a cliff nearly 3,000 metres above sea level. While the hike is one of Bhutan’s most memorable experiences, it remains accessible to most travellers with the support of local guides and ponies.
Beyond Tiger’s Nest, Paro offers a wealth of cultural treasures, including the ruins of Drukgyel Dzong, the historic fortress built to commemorate Bhutan’s victory over Tibetan invaders, Kyichu Lhakhang, one of the country’s oldest and most sacred temples, and the impressive Rinpung Dzong, a fortress-monastery overlooking the Paro Valley beside the National Museum of Bhutan. Together, these sites provide a fascinating introduction to Bhutan’s rich history, architecture, and spiritual heritage.
Set at a lower altitude of around 1,200 metres, Punakha is one of Bhutan’s warmest and most fertile regions, often referred to as the country’s “rice bowl”. Surrounded by lush valleys, flowering jacaranda trees in Spring, and scenic rivers, it offers a striking contrast to the rugged mountain landscapes found elsewhere in Bhutan.
A well-designed Bhutan Tour Package allows travellers to experience the region’s blend of nature, culture, and adventure. In your customised Punakha Tour Package, explore the magnificent Punakha Dzong, walk through peaceful countryside trails, visit the Sangchhen Dorji Lhuendrup Lhakhang Nunnery, or discover the diverse flora and birdlife found within the Royal Botanic Park. For those seeking more active experiences, Punakha is also one of the best places in Bhutan for white-water rafting, with scenic rivers winding through the valley below.
As Bhutan’s capital and largest city, Thimphu offers a fascinating blend of tradition and modern life. Despite being the country’s administrative and commercial centre, it remains deeply connected to Bhutanese culture, with monasteries, traditional architecture, and local craftsmanship woven into everyday life.
Just an hour’s drive from Paro, the journey to Thimphu takes you across the scenic Dochula Pass, where clear days offer sweeping views of the Himalayan peaks. Highlights of the city include the historic Tashichho Dzong, home to Bhutan’s government and the King’s office, as well as the National Institute of Traditional Medicine, where centuries-old healing practices are still preserved today. Thimphu is also one of the best places to experience Bhutan’s renowned textile traditions, with beautifully woven fabrics and local handicrafts showcasing the country’s rich cultural heritage.
Set against the backdrop of Bhutan’s Black Mountains, Phobjikha Valley is a stunning glacial valley known for its pristine landscapes, sweeping views, and rich wildlife. Also known as Gangtey Valley, it is home to the historic Gangtey Goemba Monastery, which sits on a hill overlooking the valley below.
Each year from October onwards, thousands of endangered black-necked cranes migrate from Tibet to spend the winter in this protected sanctuary, making it one of Bhutan’s premier destinations for nature lovers and birdwatchers. The valley’s peaceful marshlands, scenic hiking trails, and unspoiled beauty offer a very different side of Bhutan, rewarding travellers seeking a deeper connection with the country’s natural landscapes.
Yes, Singapore passport holders must obtain a valid visa before travelling to Bhutan, as required by the Bhutanese government. In addition, all visitors are required to arrange their trip through a licensed tour operator. At Beyond Footprints Travel, we assist with the visa application process and design a customised Bhutan private tour package tailored to your interests, travel style, and preferred pace of exploration.
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are widely regarded as the best times to visit Bhutan, offering dry weather, comfortable temperatures, and some of the year’s most spectacular scenery. These seasons are particularly popular for our clients embarking on their Bhutan private tours, as clear skies provide excellent views of the Himalayas while valleys come alive with either blooming flowers or vibrant autumn colours.
Bhutanese law requires all tourists to book their trip through a licensed tour operator. This policy ensures that tourism remains sustainable and that the Kingdom’s culture and environment are protected for future generations.
The SDF is a daily fee paid by tourists that goes directly toward Bhutan’s free healthcare, education, and conservation efforts. It is included in the total cost of our Bhutan travel package offerings.
The trek takes about 2 to 3 hours uphill. While it is manageable for most fitness levels, we can arrange for mules or donkeys to carry guests halfway up the trail for a more manageable hiking experience during your Bhutan luxury tour.
