Overview
Bhutan Tiger’s Nest Trek — Complete 6 Nights 7 Days Itinerary
The Bhutan Tiger’s Nest Trek is the ultimate Himalayan adventure — a seven-day journey that builds toward the iconic Taktshang Monastery, clinging to a sheer cliff at 3,120 metres above the Paro Valley. This Bhutan Tiger’s Nest Trek takes you through Thimphu’s golden Buddha, Punakha’s river fortress, Dochula’s panoramic mountain passes, and Paro’s ancient dzongs before the main event: the six-hour climb to one of the most extraordinary sacred sites on earth.
Your Bhutan Tiger’s Nest Trek includes a private car, professional English-speaking guide, and all Sustainable Development Fees. After the descent, soothe tired muscles in an optional traditional hot stone bath — smooth river stones heated in fire, herb-infused water, pure Bhutanese restoration. Bhutan is unlike anywhere else on earth: no billboards, no traffic lights in the capital, 72% forest cover by law. The Dragon Kingdom rewards those who come prepared to be moved.
If you prefer a shorter trip, our Bhutan Tour Package 5 Nights 6 Days covers all the key highlights without the trek → Highlight: Bhutan Tour Package 5 Nights 6 Days
Bhutan Tiger's Nest Trek — Trip Highlights
- Tiger's Nest — Taktshang Monastery The centrepiece of the Bhutan Tiger's Nest Trek. A 6-hour round-trip through pine forest to the sacred monastery clinging to a 900-metre cliff at 3,120m. One of the great treks of Asia — spiritual and physically rewarding in equal measure.
- Traditional Hot Stone Bath After the Tiger's Nest descent, soothe tired muscles in a Bhutanese hot stone bath — smooth river stones heated in fire placed in wooden tubs of herb-infused water. A uniquely Bhutanese restoration ritual found nowhere else on earth.
- Punakha Dzong — River Fortress The 17th-century Punakha Dzong sits at the confluence of two sacred rivers — golden roofs above turquoise water. One of the most photographed fortresses in all of Asia and a jewel of Bhutanese architecture.
- Dochula Pass — 108 Chortens At 3,100m, the 108 memorial chortens of Dochula Pass frame a panoramic view of Bhutan's highest Himalayan peaks on clear days. The most photographed scene in all of Bhutan — sacred and spectacular in equal measure.
- Buddha Dordenma — Golden Giant Standing 51 metres tall above Thimphu, the golden Buddha Dordenma is one of the largest Buddha statues in the world. The valley view from this hilltop alone is worth the visit.
- Rinpung Dzong & Ancient Paro Rinpung Dzong towers above Paro valley with the Nya Mey Zam Bridge below and 7th-century Kichu Lhakhang beside it. Paro is Bhutan's most picturesque valley — every angle is a postcard.
- Motithang Takin & Bhutanese Living Culture Meet Bhutan's extraordinary national animal at the Motithang Preserve. Visit the Zorig Chusum Institute for traditional arts — thangka painters, weavers, sculptors — and Simply Bhutan living museum bringing centuries of tradition to life.
- Chhimi Lhakhang & Suspension Bridge Walk through Punakha's rice paddies to the enchanting 15th-century Chhimi Lhakhang fertility temple. Cross the iconic suspension bridge over the Mo Chu river — both are quintessentially, unforgettably Bhutanese
