Western Bhutan

The western circuit comprises the six western districts in the country: Thimphu, Paro, Haa, Wangdue Phodrang, Punakha, and Gasa. What distinguishes this circuit is the Department of Tourism Bhutan’s innovative approach to exploring the existing magnificent sights.

Within this circuit, you can immerse yourself in the vibrant summer festival of Haa and delve deep into the ancient living culture of the Haaps (People from Haa). The festival showcases Shamanic rituals and captivating folk dances. Additionally, you can revel in the beauty of rare Himalayan flowers in full bloom or embark on an adventurous trek to Nob Tsonapatra, steeped in intriguing local legends.

In Thimphu, you can witness the newly introduced Festival, MICE & GNH conferences, along with meditation and wellness facilities. Explore temples, dzongs (fortresses), and museums, or partake in a textile festival that brings the rich culture of Bhutanese weaving to life.

Marvel at the historical depictions of medieval Bhutanese warriors defending the country with swords and shields during the Punakha Tsechu/festival. These festivals occur throughout the year, offering opportunities for tailored trips.

Experience the ritualistic planting of rice in early summer or the joyous harvest in autumn. The golden hue of ripening rice fields during autumn is a delight for photographers. Western Bhutan boasts some of the country’s finest museums, providing an opportunity to delve into our storied history and traditional culture. For instance, the Paro Museum (Tadzong) showcases hundreds of artifacts unveiling Bhutan’s history and culture. In Thimphu, the Folk Heritage Museum offers an in-depth insight into the typical livelihood of farmers.

Just returned to... the Philippines from a 6 day tour of Bhutan. A magical place and the experience from this trip is probably one of the most memorable. Thanks in large part to our tour operator, Ram, who made the experience for us enjoyable and so much fun. Migma, our tour guide was knowledgeable and furnished us with all important details of all the places we’ve been to. Raj was an excellent driver so, thank you guys for the wonderful trip. My sisters and niece couldn’t have asked for a better group. You have shown us the best of Bhutan and we will recommend you to our friends for sure.read more

TEN DAYS TOUR IN... BHUTAN WITH BOOK BHUTA TOUR.Before visiting Bhutan, we did research and found Book Bhutan Tour website, we visited website and we found that they have serve the mostly Swiss Diplomats guests , for that reason we immediately reserve through Book Bhutan Tour. Ten days tour to Bhutan is an amazing experience. We are fortunate to have Nawang Drakpa (our guide) who is knowledgeable, kind and understanding. He ensures our safety and attentive to our needs. Would also like to praise our driver (Anil Gurung) who carefully drove along the winding mountainous road. Both of them look after our wellbeing. At some point of our tracks, they gave us a welcome surprise by bringing us picnics any time tea & coffee with a beautiful view of Bhutan. Thank you Book Bhutan Tour Mr. Ram Dorji Tamang for having Nawang and Anil! It is an unforgettable experience in Bhutan. We are already planning on coming back and we suggest everybody who is going to visit Bhutan to ask for Nawang as a guide and Anil as a driver!Thank you and best greetings from Australia.read more
