Bhutan at walking pace
Same valleys, half the hurry. Long mornings, farmhouse evenings, and a hot stone bath after the day’s last temple. This is the itinerary for people who believe the best moments never appear on a schedule.
Arrive Paro. Stay in the valley, easy riverside walk to settle in.
Paro at leisure: National Museum, Rinpung Dzong, try your hand at archery.
Drive to Thimphu. Afternoon with no agenda, coffee on Norzin Lam.
Thimphu slowly: craft studios, Folk Heritage Museum, evening prayers at Tashichho Dzong.
Over Dochula to Punakha, long tea stop among the chortens.
Punakha: riverside picnic, unhurried visit to the dzong, village walk to Chimi Lhakhang.
Return to Paro. Farmhouse evening, hot stone bath, home-cooked dinner.
Tiger’s Nest at your own pace, afternoon rest.
Depart Paro.
