A highlight of the trip is the 4-5 hour hike to Paro Taktsang, perched on an 800-meter cliff, and a scenic 2-hour walk through Punakha valley. Along the way, visitors will witness Bhutan’s efforts to preserve its forests and biodiversity, making it the only carbon-negative country in the world.

Participants should carry comfortable clothing suitable for the season, sturdy walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a reusable water bottle. Summer months require light cotton or woolen clothes and a raincoat, while winter calls for warm layers and gloves. Travelers should respect local customs by covering knees and shoulders at religious and public sites. A basic first aid kit and personal medical supplies are recommended. Booking in advance is advised due to limited flights to Bhutan, and travelers must provide passport copies for e-Visa processing, which takes 4-5 business days.
