If you have ever dreamed of exploring Bhutan, our travel agency brings two fantastic chances to do it properly in 2026.
Rocky Road Travel is running two special departures that give you front row access to the traditions, beautiful landscapes and warm hospitality that make Bhutan such a special destination.
Both our tours also include time in Bangladesh, which provides you with a fresh look at South Asia’s hidden highlights. If you want a journey that mixes culture, scenery and a sense of real discovery, these trips deliver.
Paro Festival and Bangladesh Tour: 28 March to 7 April 2026
The first departure of the year is built around one of Bhutan’s biggest events: the Paro Tshechu. This festival lights up the Paro Valley, featuring masked dances, striking costumes and centuries old rituals that bring the country’s spiritual heritage to life.
It is a remarkable moment to visit Bhutan, because you see the culture not in a museum but in motion.
You start by landing in Paro, immediately surrounded by mountains and fresh valley air, before heading to Thimphu. The capital is relatively small but lively, and full of small details that make Bhutan feel different from anywhere else.
You visit the giant Buddha Dordenma statue, wander through blue pine forests to Changangkha, and meet locals dressed in national clothing during their daily routines.
The journey to Punakha follows the road over the Dochu La pass. At more than 3000 metres, the views stretch across the Himalayan range on a clear day. The walk to Lungchotse Lhakhang is one of the best short hikes in the country, with peaceful trails and sweeping mountain panoramas. By the time you arrive in Punakha, the rhythm of Bhutan has fully settled in.
Once you return to Paro, the festival becomes the heart of the experience. You spend time watching dancers perform sacred stories, each movement guided by tradition. Here, you see the entire valley seems to breathe in step. It is the sort of travel memory that stays with you for a lifetime.
Bangladesh and Bhutan Tour: 12 to 22 October 2026
The second itinerary flips the order but keeps the spirit of adventure. Bangladesh is brimming with friendly faces and rich heritage, from river life and bustling markets to impressive mosques and colonial districts.
After exploring its highlights, we fly you to Bhutan for a deep dive into atmospheric valleys with their forested hillsides, for a more relaxing experience.
This trip in October is ideal for travellers who believe ‘variety is the spice of life’. Bangladesh brings colour and energy like nowhere else. Bhutan adds serenity and space. Together, they form a balanced journey through two very different countries that share a strong sense of identity.
What Both Tours Include
Both itineraries cover visas, an English speaking local guide, all meals, transport, accommodation in standard twin share hotels, and the Bhutan Sustainable Development Fee. You focus on the experience while everything else is handled for you.
If you want a meaningful and memorable introduction to Bhutan, both our tours in 2026 offer this in spades. They are built to show you the best of the Land of the Thunder Dragon.
