Combo Tour
The Best of Both Worlds
This isn’t just a tour; it’s a dynamic experience that engages every part of you. Over 11 unforgettable days, you’ll traverse the kingdom’s most stunning valleys, swapping your bike for a raft and your hiking boots for walking shoes as the landscape dictates.
- For the Thrill-Seeker: Feel the rush of paddling Class II-III rapids on the Mo Chhu River, with the majestic Punakha Dzong floating into view . Then, mount your bike for exhilarating descents from high mountain passes like Dochula and Lawa La, coasting through pine forests and past traditional villages. A moderate hike to the Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten offers panoramic rewards for your effort.
- For the Culture Enthusiast: This journey is steeped in tradition. You will explore the ancient Punakha Dzong, wander the monastic halls of Gangtey Goenpa, and receive blessings at the revered Chimi Lhakhang (the “Fertility Temple”) . In Thimphu, you’ll come face-to-face with living art at the Folk Heritage Museum and the massive Buddha Dordenma.
- For the Spiritual Seeker: The journey culminates in the iconic pilgrimage to the Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest), a 5-6 hour round-trip hike that is as much an inner journey as a physical one. You’ll also have moments of quiet reflection, perhaps with an evening yoga session in Thimphu or a peaceful walk through the Phobjikha Valley, the winter home of the endangered black-necked cranes.
