Preparing your journey…
3 Nights | Paro
This four-day journey is a beautifully paced introduction to Bhutan, centred entirely in the sacred Paro Valley. Designed for travellers seeking depth without haste, the itinerary blends gentle acclimatisation, immersive cultural walks and one of the Himalayan world’s most iconic pilgrimages. From forested monastery trails and ancient dzongs to the unforgettable ascent to the Tiger’s Nest, each day unfolds with intention and balance.
Throughout your stay, you are based at COMO Uma Paro, a serene hillside retreat where refined comfort, panoramic valley views and personalised service create the perfect sanctuary for rest and reflection at the end of each day.
All our tours are fully customisable — the itineraries you see are simply a starting point. We'll work closely with you to tailor every detail.
4 Day Uma Paro Himalayan Escape Itinerary
1 Arrival in Paro – Gentle Introduction
Upon arrival at Paro International Airport, you are warmly welcomed by your friendly private guide before the short ten-minute transfer to COMO Uma Paro. After settling into the lodge, your first gentle introduction to Bhutan begins with a relaxed visit to Paro town and a local temple. The afternoon is intentionally unhurried, allowing time to acclimatise to the altitude while getting to know your guide, who will tailor additional sightseeing options to suit your interests and energy levels.
Overnight: COMO Uma Paro
2 Paro Valley Walks & Sacred Temples
Walk through pine forests above the lodge to Zuri Dzong, then continue to Ta Dzong, Bhutan’s National Museum, with expansive views over Paro. Descend to Rinpung Dzong and cross the traditional covered bridge, Nyamai Zam, passing the archery ground and Ugyen Pelri Palace before reaching Paro town. Later, visit Kyichu Lhakhang, one of Bhutan’s oldest temples, famed for its orange tree that bears fruit year-round. If time allows, continue up the valley to the ruins of Drukgyel Dzong.
Overnight: COMO Uma Paro
3 Tiger’s Nest Pilgrimage & Wellness
Today’s highlight is the pilgrimage to Taktsang Goemba, the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery clinging to a sheer cliff 900 metres above the valley floor. An early start avoids the heat as you climb through pine forests to the viewpoint before descending and ascending again to the monastery itself, passing waterfalls and mural-lined gateways. After returning to the lodge, enjoy a well-earned afternoon of rest, perhaps at the steam rooms, swimming pool or with a traditional hot stone bath.
Overnight: COMO Uma Paro
4 Departure from Bhutan
After an early breakfast, transfer to Paro International Airport for your onward journey. As you depart Bhutan, you leave with a collection of memories shaped by mountains, monasteries and moments of quiet connection. Tashi Delek, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Bhutan again.

What Our Travellers Say
Bhutan, The hardest Goodbye!
Words truly cannot express how we feel. We loved everything about Bhutan; great scenery, amazing people with great culture and history. The views are stunning and the experience was magical.
We had wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip and got a lot of fantastic memories to take back home; from picnic at Chele La Pass overlooking the Haa Valley, hiked up to the legendary Takshang Goemba (Tiger's nest monastery), wearing a Gho and Kira, to the best moment- dancing together with local people at Nak-sel Farm House.
We loved our tour guides; Tashi Tobgay and Lhawang Dorji who kept us entertained with stories, jokes, fables, and a wonderful sense of humour. They created a friendly and collegial atmosphere to our small groups of 35 pax.
Dear Sangay,
Kuzuzangpo La!!
Wow I did it again...!!!
My stayed at Bhutan was fantastic and amazing...!! Starting when I arrived at airport my helpful and patience guide Tshering was already at the gate waiting for me.
I changed my itinerary to climb Taktsang on 2nd day because weather was good and my hiking was really smooth and it took only 5 hours up and down including my meditation and lunch. I followed Tshering how to climb or maybe I got blessed from Guru Rinpoche! This is my 2nd time climbing Taktsang in my third visit to Bhutan.
Tshering knows where are the best spots so we had our picnics lunch from hotel facing Taktsang...we stopped at cafeteria on the way back to the base for a while.
When I returned to Uma Paro, it was the best time to enjoy my 60-minute free Como S
Dear Sonam
Thanks for your email. I was also planning to share with you my trip experience.
It was fantastic. We really enjoyed our stay at Paro and the place we visited; Taktsang Monastery, Dochula Pass, Paro Dzong, Thimphu Dzong, Takin. It was to our surprise on the high quality of food and service in the hotel Uma. All the staff are friendly and they speak good English. We made the right choice to stay in the villa as we were assigned a very good butler Garab. He is the best hotel staff I ever encountered. He attends to every single detail to ensure that we are getting the best. I just feel like home. The logistics was also very smooth. We visited Amankora when we were in Thimphu but we like Uma better.
Dear Mindu: Many thanks for arranging our visit to Bhutan. We had a very enjoyable stay throughout, and found everyone to be very hospitable and welcoming. We are very pleased to have dealt with you in all our travel arrangements, especially our visas and tours. Your suggested itinerary allowed us to visit all the places we wanted to visit within a short space of time. Our driver and guide were both very entertaining and accommodating in all our requests. The local food was great. We observed local artisans at work (photo). Many thanks again and we hope to be able to make a return trip soon.
Dear Mr Sangay, My husband and I had a most wonderful time. Your country is beautiful in scenery, as well as in culture and the people. We hope they will not be 'spoilt' by the tourists and the western-version of development. We hope to never see McDonald's, KFC, Starbucks, 7-11 and the like in Bhutan, ever. My husband found the Buddhism there fascinating, and I love the fabrics of your kira, and all the other parts of your costume. We certainly will return for future visits. All the people we met are very nice, the hotel staff is superbly well trained.
Dear Sonam, Thanks. It was a pleasant stay & I have enjoyed it. Wished I could have based there longer. Overall it was nice, tried the wide selection of food, meeting friendly locals, enjoyed the scenery & what attract me the most is the peaceful existence on this remote mountain, the charm, simplicity lifestyle and strong belief in religion. Now am even thinking to retire in Bhutan in the future. Stay at the monastery or any remote village & assist in anyway I can. Hope I can make it.
