Enthralled by the Mysterious Kingdom of Bhutan
Over four days, explore this fascinating realm, replete with mountains and monasteries, prayer flags and prayer wheels. Absorb the profound influence of Buddha and see the vibrant artworks pervading this elevated region.

Take Aim With Bhutanese Archers

RESIDENCES OF THE HIGHEST STANDARD

Pullman New Delhi Aerocity
Featuring a thoroughly modern facade, the Pullman New Delhi Aerocity invites us in to admire its elaborately designed interiors. Within its rooms, generously sized bathrooms are embellished with granite and brass.

Taj Tashi, Thimphu
Nestled in the heart of the Thimphu Valley, experience an enchanting blend of Dzong architecture, modern design and hand-drawn Buddhist murals. From your comfortable suite, fall into the arresting landscapes adorned with monasteries.

Zhiwa Ling Hotel, Paro
Set at the foot of the stunning Paro valley, the Zhiwa Ling Hotel features intricate hand-carvings throughout its rooms and innovative Swedish under-floor heating; the union of Bhutanese culture and 21st-century comforts proving most advantageous.
Itinerary
Arrive Delhi (India)
Arriving in Delhi, we acquaint ourselves with the Pullman New Delhi Aerocity Hotel. We enjoy dinner at our hotel, while anticipating the adventures to come.
Kathmandu (Nepal)
A brief flight delivers us to Kathmandu. Here, we begin with a once-in-a-lifetime scenic flight, taking in close-up views of Mt Everest. We then explore Kathmandu Durbar Square, which is blessed with many temples. In nearby Patan – also known as Lalitpur – we gaze at the Krishna Temple in Patan Durbar Square and come to understand why this city is also sometimes referred to as the city of beauty. Our travels then bring us to the World Heritage-listed Boudhanath Stupa, which dominates Kathmandu’s skyline.
Thimphu (Bhutan)
Arriving in Thimphu, we make for the Kuensel Phodrang, a colossal statue of Buddha that houses within it a hundred thousand smaller statues. From this hilltop, we have breathtaking views of the Thimphu Valley. The distinctive form of the National Memorial Chorten then draws our attention, before we depart for the Motithang Takin Preserve. It is here that we glimpse Bhutan’s national animal, the rare takin, a goat-antelope found only in the eastern Himalayas. Afterwards, browse the colourful fabrics on display at the National Handicraft Emporium.
Thimphu, Paro
Prior to departing for Paro, we learn of the 13 traditional arts which are taught at the National Institute of Zorig Chusum. In Paro, we witness some of the finest examples of Bhutanese art at the National Museum of Bhutan. The Rinpung Dzong then invites us to see where Buddhist monks have lived since 1644. Our next port of call is Kyichu Lhakhang, one of the oldest temples in Bhutan. Afterwards, at a sporting ground reserved exclusively for us, we are invited to participate in a friendly archery match with some elite local archers.
Paro
Today, we set out on a strenuous hike to Tiger’s Nest – the sacred Taktsang monastery – built into cliffs 900 metres above Paro Valley. For those fit enough to make the full ascent, the rewards are unmatched.
Paro, Singapore
We depart Paro this morning, bound for Singapore, from where we connect with our flight home.
