About Bhutan Tourism: Riven with folktales of its monasteries, fortresses and dramatic landscapes ranging from steep mountains to subtropical valleys, the Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan sits amidst the eastern Himalayas. It is deemed 'the Happiest Country in the World ". Bhutan's vibrant culture, festivals and enigmatic peaks attract over 200 thousand visitors annually. Put Bhutan on your list of leisure and ecotourism destinations with Holidify's Bhutan tour packages.

The best time to visit Bhutan is from March to May. During these spring months, Bhutan's valleys are flooded with rhododendrons, tourists and pilgrims can enjoy sightseeing under clear skies as festivities like Punakha Tshechu bring colour to life. Most of your itinerary would be driving or hiking along Lateral Road, Bhutan's primary east-west gateway from Phuentsholing.

It takes 4-5 days for a Bhutan trip. Begin with exploring the capital city of Thimphu, where sightseeing spots include Memorial Chorten, Buddha Dordenma, Tashichho Dzong, Simtokha Dzong, Gangtey Monastery and Royal Botanical Garden. Next, visit Jungshi Paper Factory to learn how paper is made traditionally.

Travel to Punakha via Dochula Pass, a stunning location with chortens created in honour of 108 Bhutanese military soldiers who died in a 2003 mission. On reaching Punakha, visit Punakha Dzong, Fertility Temple, Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten, Punakha Valley, the 700-year-old Punakha Suspension Bridge and Buddhist monasteries dating back to 1499.

West of Thimphu lies another charming valley town called Paro, comprising ten villages and Bhutan's only international airport. Taktsang or Tiger's Nest monastery clings to cliffs overlooking the forested Paro Valley. Drukgyel Dzong, Kyichu Lhakhang, Bhutan National Museum and Zuri Dzong are among the best tourist attractions here.

Some more places to visit with Bhutan tour packages are Bumthang, Jakar, Phobjikha, Talo, Wangdue Phodrang and Trongsa.
