A 4-day journey into Bhutan's spiritual heartland, via the royal seat at Trongsa.

A 4-day journey into Bhutan's spiritual heartland, via the royal seat at Trongsa. This 4-day journey is led by Bhutanese guides who know the places and the people. Day by day: Drive to Trongsa; Drive to Bumthang; Bumthang valleys; Departure. The full itinerary with each day's details is on this page. This is a cultural journey: you spend your days among dzongs (fortress-monasteries), temples, markets and villages, with time to meet people and watch craftsmen at work, rather than racing between sights. The pace is easy. Distances between stops are covered by private vehicle, and walks are short and gentle, so it suits most ages and fitness levels. Every Droelma Tours & Travels journey is arranged with a licensed Bhutanese guide, a private vehicle and driver where roads allow, and accommodation planned in advance, and we help with your Bhutan visa and permits. Departure dates and group size can be adjusted — send us an enquiry and we will tailor the itinerary to your dates and interests.
