Preparing
LoadingAn anniversary in the mountains
A five-night Bhutan journey for couples marking an anniversary — Paro, Punakha, back to Paro — with the third night reserved for whichever evening matters most. The signature tier sits comfortably here.
Journeys begin at USD 14,000 per couple.
5 nights · signature tier
For an anniversary, the seven-night week sometimes asks too much. Five is enough to land properly, hold a single special evening, and leave on the morning the body is ready to leave. We use two nights in Paro, two in Punakha, and one final Paro for the early flight — with the climb to Taktsang on whichever day the light is best.
Tell us the date and we plan around it. The most common ask is a small private dinner at the Punakha lodge on the anniversary night — by the river, candles, a Bhutanese tasting menu paced over two hours, a chef who has been briefed. Some couples want a renewal-of-vows blessing at a small monastery; that we can arrange with two weeks' notice.
Signature is the closed top of our pricing: the most knowledgeable Bhutanese guides, the rooms we hold quietly at Amankora and Six Senses, the chef who comes out from the kitchen, the helicopter transfer if a flight is missed. It is not for everyone — most clients are happier at the luxury tier — but for milestone celebrations it earns its place.
A sample shape of the week
Day 1
Met in the arrivals hall; twenty minutes to the lodge; a hot stone bath; an unhurried first dinner.
Day 2
Bhutan's oldest temple at 7:30; the Tiger's Nest from late morning, at the pace of the slower of you; descent and recovery at the lodge.
Day 3
Cross the pass in the morning light; arrive Punakha by lunch; afternoon at the lodge; dzong at golden hour.
Day 4
Walk through the rice paddies in the morning; lunch by the river; the private dinner at the lodge with the chef and the wine paired to the seven dishes.
Day 5
Drive back over the pass; lunch at the lodge in Paro; early evening on the terrace; morning flight.
The day-by-day above is illustrative. The proposal you receive is built around your dates, your pace, and your interests — not this template.
