OPTION 2 [FLIGHT] : FLY GUWAHATI AND THEN FLY TO PARO [IXB] FROM GUWAHATI [GAU]
Looking for an amazing travel destination for your 2023 summer holidays? Look no further than Bhutan, one of Asia's cleanest countries with unadulterated nature and a pristine ambiance. While there is a Delhi to Paro direct flight, guests can opt another way to travel this stunningly beautiful destination through booking a Bhutan Package Tour from Guwahati.
But why, you may ask? The answer is simple. If a traveller is taking Delhi to Paro Direct Flight, it becomes little costly rather if a traveller is flying via Guwahati Airport. Though in both ways, the destination [Paro Airport] can be reach same day, still in terms of money it is feasible. But, if guests have time constraint, and Delhi to Bhutan Flight Cost is ok, then obviously guest will travel from Delhi Airport to Paro.

The National Memorial Chorten or Thimphu Chorten - Also known as Thimphu Chorten is a site for evening prayer. The chorten was build in the third King memory, and it was continuously circumambulated by people, murmuring mantras and spinning their prayer wheels. The idea to construct this landmark was proposed by Bhutan third King, His Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuk ("the father of modern Bhutan"), who has wished to erect a monument to the World for peace and prosperity. Completed in 1974 after Majesty's untimely death, it served as a memorial to the late King and a monument of peace.
The Clock Tower - Located at the centre of the Thimphu Town, the Clock Tower Square is an architectural wonder one can behold during Bhutan package tour from Delhi. This tower differs from every other construction or building in Bhutan. It is basically a tower with four clock faces in four directions. The tower depicts of Bhutanese architecture pattern which is basically painted or engraved on wood. The tower is decorated with many intricately carved floral patterns, paintings, and replica of dragons. The dragons on the tower are facing each clock in the tower, which is interesting to look at. The dragon is a holy animal in Bhutanese culture, and it stands for the country's independence.
As this place is a prime attraction among locals and travelers in Bhutan, most people come here in the evening to see and enjoy the exquisite carvings and paintings. This tower is one of the busiest locations in town because there are numerous restaurants, gift shops, and hotels nearby. The square is in close proximity to a number of trade fairs, concerts, and other events. The area of clock tower and its surroundings occasionally hosts live music events, which makes the place vibrant and full of life and energy. You can buy gifts for your family and friends at one of the many shopping centers in the area. There is a little playground for children that are also a great place for a picnic and a fun evening activity.

Punakha Dzong : Also known as "The Palace of Great Happiness", Punakha Dzong is located at the confluence of the Pho Chhu (father) and Mo Chhu (mother) rivers in the Punakha–Wangdue valley. This Dzong is the most picturesque of all Bhutan ancient fortresses and it joins the mainland by an arched wooden bridge that contains many precious relics from the days when successive kings reigned the Kingdom from this Punakha valley.
Suspension Bridge - This hidden treasure in the Punakha Valley connects the rest of the valley to the old administrative center of Punakha Dzongkhag. The whole deck is covered with prayer flags and provides a perfect spot for bird watching and photography.
Chimi Lhakhang (Fertility Temple) : Stationed at the top of a hillock, the Chimi Lhakhang is a site dedicated to Lama Drukpa Kuenley. Known as the 'Divine Madman,' Lama Drukpa Kuenley is said to use songs, humor, and outrageous behavior to preach his teachings. Chimi Lhakhang temple is believed to be the temple of fertility, and the Bhutanese hold a strong belief that childless couples are blessed by Lama Drukpa Kuenley if they visit the temple and pray for a child.

Rinpung Dzong : Built by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal in 1646, the first spiritual and temporal ruler of Bhutan, the Dzong houses the monastic body of Paro, the office of the Dzongda (district administrative head) and Thrimpon (judge) of Paro district. The approach to the Dzong is through a traditional covered bridge called Nemi Zam.

We have concluded our memorable Bhutan tour from Delhi in the last week. It was arranged perfectly by naturewings. Mr Sarkar has done all the bookings after consulting us time to time and provided us the booking vouchers collectively. Sabitra was our tour coordinator who was constantly in touch with us on WhatsApp and asking us about the ups and downs of the experiences. Our Bhutan Tour guide was Lobzang who is a decent and knowledgeable person. He accompanied us throughout the tour. Our driver Bijay was a funny and cooperative guy. On a whole the experience with naturewings was very very good.

Hi Soumalya, We are very much thankful to you for planning entire trip with so proper itinerary, without any hectic schedule. We were able to enjoy all beautiful places, clicking lots of photographs without any worries about reaching to next destination. Hotels were good. Food was great. Especially, we enjoyed ourselves much at Mrs. Sonam's house. She was a gem, very warm and kind hearted lady and great cook. We enjoyed food at her place more than any other since it was home made with love and care. Special thanks to her and Mr Sonam too. Mr. Parmesh, our driver was very helpful too and entertained us lot. He was our part-time guide too.
Once again, I thank you for responding all my queries so patiently and Mr Sandip Raha too (I got a first introductory call from him as soon as I had put my query late in the night around 11 PM) and for completing our trip with success and lots of good memories in Bhutan. I will blindly recommend Naturewings to anyone who is looking for Bhutan tour from Mumbai in future."

When planning for your holidays, we want to choose nothing but the best and Naturewings completely ensures that they give in their best and makes your trip a memorable one. I came across Naturewings on internet and was skeptical to shortlist them as they were based out of Kolkata and I belonged to Mumbai and there was no face to the name. On my first call with Sandip Raha, he assured me and my husband that he would take care of my itenary and I must say he has lived upto all his promises. Right from planning our itenary, to booking our tickets, to sharing the entire trip coordinates, he and his team has done a fab job to ensure that we don't face any troubles at any time. We were well received at the Paro airport by Soumlya Ghosh who thereon was in continuous touch to ensure that every aspect of the tour is well taken care of. Must say that all the properties were unique and the room view was mesmerizing . Thank you Sandip to ensure that we come back with happy faces and memories worth a lifetime... Kudos to Mr.Sandip Raha, Soumalya Ghosh and the entire team at Naturewings!!! 👍

I visited Bhutan along with my wife from 9th to 13th Nov'17. The entire package was arranged by NatureWings. It may not be exaggerating to say that Nature wings is one of the finest tour operators i have come across so far. I was totally impressed by their quick and courteous response. They were continuously monitoring our stay in Bhutan. Particularly the response and attentiveness of Mr Suman and Soumalya is appreciable. Even the driver provided was so friendly and so was the vehicle. Coming to Bhutan it is really the land of happiness. We were totally mesmerized by the stunning beauty and ambience. In total it was pleasant trip of happiness altogether. I already referred Nature wings to my friends and for my future trips to Northeast India i prefer Nature wings. Keep it up guys. All the best.

I was searching a destination for Honeymoon and after scanning through a lot of available options we zeroed in on Bhutan the 1st country on Happiness index. Then the search began for popular travels conducting tours to Bhutan and to my shock I found that not many popular players conduct tours to Bhutan. Once while I was scanning through the internet i came across the site of "Naturewings" and sent an inquiry for one of the tour packages and I got a call from the director Mr. Sandip Raha the same evening. He gave me all the detailed information about packages and the options available, it was very much informative and all tour the information was in much detail. After a series of discussions emails, travel options hotel options, options of places to visit we finally choose the itinerary which suited us the best. And all through these communications Mr. Sandip Raha and his team was very patient in understanding our requirement and more than willing to help us in customizing the package. Our Bhutan package included the Popular destinations of Paro, Thimphu and Punakha. During our entire stay at Bhutan Naturewings team remained in good contact from time to time which is a rare quality with other tour operators. All the hotels were chosen personally by Mr. Sandip Raha and all of them were really fantastic especially the hotel @ Paro. All in all i would say the experience with "Naturewings" was very good and I must say they have very strong network in this region and you can trust them. Once you have shared with them your requirement rest assured that Naturewings will come up with the best package and trust me they keep all there promises.
