Explore sacred sites, enjoy soft hikes, and unwind at a world-class Himalayan wellness retreat. A journey designed for travellers seeking culture, tranquillity, and a deeper connection with nature and themselves.
Arrive in Delhi, the energetic capital of India. You’ll be greeted with VIP assistance and driven by private transfer to your luxury hotel for a two-night stay. Today is for settling in, relaxing, and adjusting to the rhythm of the city. Delhi is a vibrant mix of ancient history and modern culture. Whether you spend time at the hotel or venture out briefly, this first day allows you to unwind before your cultural adventure through India and Bhutan begins.
Explore the many sides of Delhi on a private full-day tour with your expert guide. Ride a rickshaw through Chandni Chowk’s lively lanes, full of colourful stalls and rich aromas. Visit famous sites like the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Qutb Minar, and Humayun’s Tomb. Explore upscale areas known for galleries and local crafts. You’ll also stop at the Gandhi Memorial Museum. Optional visits can include the Crafts Museum, Lodhi Gardens, or a personalised shopping or food tour. This day introduces you to Delhi’s diversity—its markets, its monuments, and its modern flair.
Fly business class from Delhi to Paro, Bhutan. On arrival, you’ll receive VIP service and a scenic private transfer to Thimphu, Bhutan’s peaceful capital. Enjoy the drive as you pass rivers, forests, and small villages. En route, your guide will introduce you to Bhutan’s culture and landscape. After reaching your hotel in Thimphu, unwind and take in the fresh Himalayan air. With three nights here, you'll soon discover Bhutan’s unique traditions, Buddhist heritage, and gentle way of life.
Enjoy a full day exploring Bhutan’s capital with your guide. Visit sacred Buddhist sites, stroll through markets filled with local produce and handicrafts, and tour museums that preserve Bhutanese culture, including its textiles, folk heritage, and traditional arts. If you like, you can take a short hike to a monastery or rural village, offering a deeper look at Bhutanese life. Whether you prefer spiritual sites or cultural encounters, today’s journey reveals Bhutan’s peaceful and deeply rooted traditions.
Continue exploring Thimphu with more time to relax at your luxury resort. Choose from several special experiences: meet a local astrologer, visit the striking Tashichho Dzong, or join a private Bhutanese cooking session in a local home. You might also meditate with monks or take part in a craft demonstration. These tailored activities provide unique insight into Bhutan’s spiritual life and warm hospitality, creating lasting memories through genuine connection and personal exploration.
Travel from Thimphu to Punakha, Bhutan’s former winter capital, passing scenic mountain roads. Stop at Dochula Pass to see 108 chortens and panoramic Himalayan views. As you descend into the subtropical Punakha Valley, the landscape changes to lush forests and blooming flowers. On the way, enjoy light hiking and cultural visits. Once in Punakha, surrounded by rice paddies and peaceful villages, settle into your hotel and enjoy the beautiful natural setting, rich with Bhutanese charm and tranquillity.
Spend the day exploring Punakha with gentle hikes and cultural visits. Walk through traditional farming villages and light a butter lamp at a local temple. Hike to a viewpoint overlooking the valley and visit the magnificent Punakha Dzong, set at the confluence of two rivers. Visit a nearby Buddhist nunnery for peaceful views. Your luxury hotel, nestled among rice terraces and overlooking the Mo Chhu River, offers a relaxing setting to reflect on Bhutan’s spiritual and natural beauty.
After breakfast, travel by private transfer to Paro, a charming town set in a green river valley. En route, enjoy scenic stops and cultural touring. In the afternoon, explore Paro’s lovely main street, lined with cafes and local shops. Take a relaxed private tour of nearby sites to learn more about Bhutan’s heritage. Paro’s mix of gentle pace, mountain views, and traditional culture makes it the perfect place to continue your journey. You’ll stay here for two nights.
Today, hike to Bhutan’s most famous landmark—the Tiger’s Nest Monastery—perched on a high cliff with breathtaking views. This iconic site offers a rewarding walk and a spiritual experience. After your return, enjoy a private archery lesson, Bhutan’s national sport. Depending on your interests, you can join a yoga class, go biking through the valley, or enjoy a traditional Bhutanese spa treatment. This final day in Bhutan is designed to be flexible, personal, and unforgettable.
Fly back to Delhi in business class, then connect to Dehradun in economy class. From there, a private transfer takes you to Ananda in the Himalayas, a luxury spa retreat set on a royal estate. Spend three nights here surrounded by peaceful forests and mountain views. This award-winning retreat offers a serene space to rest and recharge with expert-led wellness programmes in a stunning natural setting.
Begin your personalised wellness programme. Meet with an Ayurvedic specialist to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Your day includes healing spa therapies, nourishing cuisine, and gentle activities designed to reduce stress and improve wellbeing. In this calm Himalayan setting, focus on relaxation and inner balance. The tranquil surroundings and expert care offer a refreshing pause in your journey.

Everything at Ananda is designed to restore your mind and body. This peaceful day offers space for silence, contemplation, and wellness, helping you leave refreshed and grounded.
After breakfast, travel by private transfer to Dehradun, stopping for a guided tour of Rishikesh. Known as the yoga capital of the world, Rishikesh sits on the banks of the Ganges River and is home to sacred ashrams and peaceful temples. After your visit, catch a flight to Delhi and transfer to your hotel for one last night in India. Enjoy the comfort of your accommodation and reflect on the spiritual journey you’ve just completed.
Your journey ends with a private transfer to the airport for your onward flight. After two enriching weeks filled with heritage, natural beauty, spiritual insight, and wellness, you’ll leave with a renewed sense of self and lasting memories of India, Bhutan, and the Himalayas.
