Paro Valley is Bhutan's most iconic destination, home to the legendary Tiger's Nest Monastery perched on a cliff face. As the site of Bhutan's only international airport, it's where most journeys begin.

Thimphu is the world's most unusual capital—a city without traffic lights, where traditional dress is worn daily and ancient dzongs stand alongside modern cafes. It's the perfect blend of old and new Bhutan.

Punakha was Bhutan's capital for over 300 years and remains the winter residence of the monastic body. Its dzong, built at the confluence of two rivers, is widely considered the most beautiful in the kingdom.

Wangdue Phodrang serves as the gateway to central Bhutan, where the recently reconstructed dzong overlooks the Punatshangchu river and the road leads to the black-necked crane valleys and beyond.

Trongsa sits at the geographic heart of Bhutan, its magnificent dzong commanding the ancient trade route between east and west. All four kings of Bhutan served as Trongsa Penlop before ascending to the throne.

Bumthang is Bhutan's spiritual heartland, a region of four sacred valleys dotted with ancient temples, some dating back to the 7th century. It's where Buddhism first took root in Bhutan.

Phobjikha is a stunning glacial valley and conservation area, famous as the winter home of rare black-necked cranes that migrate from Tibet. The valley's unspoiled beauty and Gangtey monastery make it a must-visit.

Haa is Bhutan's smallest district and one of its least visited, offering an authentic glimpse of traditional Bhutan. Only opened to tourists in 2002, it remains refreshingly unspoiled.

Trashigang, meaning "Auspicious Mountain," is the largest district in Bhutan and the cultural heart of the east. Few tourists venture here, making it a treasure trove of authentic traditions and warm hospitality.

Lhuentse is one of Bhutan's most remote and pristine districts, revered as the ancestral home of the royal family. It's renowned for producing Bhutan's finest textiles, particularly the exquisite kushuthara brocade.
