How many days are enough for a Bhutan trip?

Most travellers do 6 days: Thimphu (2N) · Paro (2N) · Punakha (1N). We can shorten or extend this — some guests add a beach or city stopover at the end.

What does an Axplorar Bhutan holiday include?

Handpicked hotels, private airport and sightseeing transfers, entry tickets for the experiences you choose, selected meals, and a real person on WhatsApp through your trip. Flights and visas can be added.

Do you organise group tours to Bhutan?

No. We only plan private, customised trips — your family or friends travel on your own itinerary, with your own vehicle and guide.
