Bhutan Family Tour

Discover Bhutan together on a relaxed 7-day family holiday combining Himalayan scenery, fascinating Buddhist heritage and peaceful mountain towns. Designed for families travelling with children, parents or grandparents, this private journey follows a comfortable pace through Thimphu, Punakha and Paro, with enough flexibility to enjoy each destination without feeling rushed.

Travel in a private vehicle throughout the journey and explore Bhutan’s highlights at a family-friendly pace. Discover the impressive Buddha Dordenma in Thimphu, enjoy spectacular Himalayan views at Dochula Pass, explore the magnificent Punakha Dzong and experience the traditional character of Paro.

The itinerary leaves room for rest, family time and spontaneous stops along the scenic mountain roads. The famous Tiger’s Nest hike is included as a family option rather than a requirement, allowing families to decide whether the trek is suitable for their group.

With comfortable accommodation, family rooms where available, private sightseeing and a carefully paced route, this is an ideal introduction to Bhutan for families looking for culture, nature and quality time together.
