Stay in Bhutan

Bhutan's valleys differ more than their distance suggests. Paro holds the airport, Tiger's Nest, and the largest concentration of famous hotels; Thimphu offers the widest range from city three-stars to hilltop lodges; warm, low-lying Punakha has become the kingdom's luxury hotspot; and Phobjikha rewards a two-night stay in crane season. Most first-time itineraries combine two or three of these bases.
