Start with western Bhutan. Add more distant places only if you have enough time to enjoy them.

Paro combines the airport, traditional architecture, monasteries and Bhutan’s most recognised hike: Taktsang, or Tiger’s Nest. Most itineraries spend at least two nights here.
Thimphu mixes government, monasteries, markets, museums and contemporary Bhutanese life. It is the natural first stop after Paro for many travellers.
Cross Dochula from Thimphu and drop into the subtropical Punakha valley. It adds scenery, history and a very different atmosphere to a western Bhutan trip.
The broad glacial valley around Gangtey suits travellers with extra time. In winter it is associated with Bhutan’s black-necked cranes.
