We have designed our travel packages to offer you sightseeing, a deep dive into the local culture, and personalized itineraries.
The Best of Bhutan Tour
If you are a first-time visitor to Bhutan, this 6-Night 7-Day tour would be a preferable option to see the heart of the country without feeling rushed. Over the course of the week, you will travel through Phuentsholing, the capital city of Thimphu, the stunning Punakha Valley, and the historic town of Paro.
The Honeymoon Tour Package
This tour package consists of a collection of 6 packages that are designed for couples who want to spend time in the setting of nature and peacefulness. The packages focus on the serene beauty of the valleys and mist-covered Dochula Pass.
Adventure Tour Package
This package is designed for those who seek the thrill of exploring the raw and rugged side of the mountains. We will guide you over the highest motorable point in Bhutan: Chele La Pass, and through the hidden trails of Haa Valley.
Why Need a Car Rental With a Professional Driver
While you might love the freedom of driving yourself on most vacations, Bhutan is a place where the rules and roads are quite difficult to navigate. Having a professional driver is not just about luxury but also about making sure that your trip actually happens without any legal or safety problems.
Here is why you should consider a local driver with expertise:
No Self-Driving Allowed
Bhutan has a strict rule that international tourists cannot drive rental cars themselves. This policy is in place to keep everyone else safe because not everyone can drive through the winding mountain roads. To follow the law and enjoy the trip, you must have a licensed local driver behind the wheel.
Expertise on Mountain Roads
Usually, the rough terrain can be quite tricky to drive for people who are not habituated to driving on mountainous roads. The roads in Bhutan are known for their sharp hairpin turns and sudden mountain fog that can make it hard to see. While the roads near the main cities are smooth, the paths to the beautiful Valleys further away can be narrow and rocky. A local driver knows these roads by heart and understands exactly how to handle the high-altitude terrain safely. All our drivers are professionally trained, licensed, and experienced in driving through Bhutan's mountain terrain, ensuring maximum safety and comfort throughout your journey
Local Knowledge
Beyond just driving you around, your driver would also act as your local guide. Unlike a GPS or a map, your driver can spot hidden waterfalls, recommend the best places to eat authentic Bhutanese food, and also tell you stories about the villages you pass through.
Best Time to Rent a Car for Bhutan
Even though Bhutan looks like a postcard no matter when you visit, 2 specific times of the year are considered the absolute best for a road trip. Most travellers aim to visit during these months because the weather is predictable and the scenery is at its peak for pictures.
The Spring Season(March - May)
During this time of the year, the Valleys seem to become more colourful. You will see thousands of wildflowers and rhododendrons blooming along the mountain roads. The weather remains pleasantly warm during this time, making it the perfect time for long drives and clear views of the high peaks.
The Autumn (September - November)
After the summer rains, the air during this time becomes crisp, and the skies turn a deep, clear blue. This is when you get those famous sharp views of the Himalayan mountains. This time of the year is also the season for major festivals, like the Paro Tshechu, where you can see the local culture being celebrated.
