Landlocked in the Himalaya, Bhutan is just 300 km long and half as wide but on the spectacular mountain roads, travel is slow. Three weeks are recommended for a full sightseeing tour. Western Bhutan, around Paro and the capital Thimphu, the central valleys known as Bumthang and the eastern reaches are linked by a scenic but often dramatic road.
The most popular tours include a tsechu, or other Buddhist festival, held in monasteries throughout the year. Trekking, even for a day, gives a wonderful insight into village life and Bhutan’s pristine natural world while shopping for Bhutanese crafts claims a well deserved place among the top 10 things to do. Bhutan offers a good choice of traditional hotels, including five Aman luxury resorts.
