A Journey Within
A personalised 14-night Bhutan wellness and cultural journey through Paro, Punakha, Gangtey, Thimphu and Haa, with gateway flights proposed.
A Journey Within
15 days / 14 nights in Bhutan. Living culture, Buddhist wisdom and time for yourself. This proposed private journey combines gentle exploration, arts and crafts, local encounters and quiet time. You do not need prior meditation experience, and participation in spiritual activities is optional.
Proposed price · Subject to a confirmed quotation
US$14,080 per person
US$12,800 + US$1,280 service charge (10%). Based on two adults sharing; US$28,160 for two.
Named hotels, room categories, flight availability, applicable taxes and final inclusions require confirmation before booking.
Choose the pace that feels right.
A quieter retreat: ask us to focus on fewer valleys, longer stays and more unstructured time. This alternative is tailored and separately confirmed in your proposal.
A broader cultural journey: the five-valley route below offers more variety and more travel between places. It is the current starting itinerary for the published indicative price.
Your proposed western Bhutan route.
| Days | Stay | The emphasis |

| 15 | Departure | Transfer to Paro Airport. |
Five valleys mean several mountain-road journeys and hotel changes. For more rest and fewer transfers, we can reduce the number of valleys or spend longer in fewer places. The final sequence follows flight times, road conditions and host availability.
A day with room to breathe.
An illustrative day might begin with a quiet breakfast and a gentle walk, followed by an agreed artisan visit or cultural conversation. Leave the afternoon for rest and reflection, then enjoy a local meal. This describes the intended rhythm, not a schedule of guaranteed sessions.
Meaningful encounters, respectfully arranged.
Discuss a family meal, an artisan visit, optional meditation or a conversation about Buddhist philosophy with a willing teacher. A meeting with Chorten’s own teacher may be explored, but is not a guaranteed inclusion. We respect hosts’ time, religious practice and privacy; photography is by permission.
An introduction to Sowa Rigpa, Bhutanese traditional medicine, is an educational encounter with an appropriately qualified practitioner where available. Clinical consultations, medicines and treatments are separately agreed. This journey makes no promise of medical treatment or health outcomes.
Stays and flights, clearly agreed.
Our starting accommodation concept is handpicked 3- and 4-star hotels. A considered mix with luxury lodge upgrades can be quoted separately. We name every property and room category so you can judge the comfort and value before booking.
The proposed price includes return economy flights between Paro and one agreed gateway: Delhi, Kathmandu or Bangkok, subject to available schedules and fares. The written quote specifies route, travel dates, baggage allowance, airfare taxes and change conditions. Mixed gateways are quoted individually.
What the proposed price covers.
- Fourteen hotel nights in a shared double or twin room.
- Meals according to the confirmed itinerary, private guide, vehicle and driver, and Paro Airport transfers.
- Standard adult SDF for 14 nights and the applicable one-time visa fee.
- Agreed cultural and wellbeing experiences, personal planning, arrival welcome and departure gift.
- Agreed gateway flights and the 10% Bhutan Lux service charge.
Excluded unless specifically agreed: flights from your home to the gateway, gateway hotels and transfers, insurance, gratuities, alcohol, clinical treatments, optional upgrades and personal purchases. Entry fees, specific sessions, taxes, payment and cancellation terms are confirmed in the final proposal.
An optional journey to Chorten’s roots.
Chorten Kora in Trashiyangtse, eastern Bhutan, is Chorten Wangyel’s birthplace. An eastern extension can be designed for guests who enjoy mountain-road travel and have additional time. It is separately planned and priced; it is not part of this 14-night western itinerary.
