FAQs about 6 Days Bhutan Tour Planning
1. Haa Valley and Phobjikha Valley, which is worth to go during a Bhutan tour in 6 days?
On the way to Haa Valley, you will drive through the Chelela Pass, where you can get the majestic views of Bhutan Himalayan Ranges and the valley scenery below. In Haa Valley, the Lhakhang Nagpo, also called the Black Temple is waiting for your visit. The Phobjikha Valley is the winter home of the rarest heavenly bird, Black-necked cranes. In Phobjikha Valley, there is a remarkable Gangtey Monastery available for your exploration.
Both of the two valleys offer fabulous scenery, while the scenic in Phobjikha Valley proves to be wilder than that in Haa Valley. The road to Haa Valley is better than that to Phobjikha Valley. Usually, a day excursion to Haa Valley is enough. If you go to the Phobjikha Valley, one night stay is necessary.
2. Any hiking options for 6 days in Bhutan?
While your overnight stay in Phobjikha Valley, you can hike the popular Gangte Nature Trail, which takes only about 1.5 hours, starting from the mani stone wall to the north of the Gangtey Monastery and ending in Khewa Lhakhang. Along the way, you can breathe incredibly fresh air and enjoy the stunning natural scenery.
For visitors come to Bhutan specially for trekking, the Bumdrak Trek and Saga La Trek are available options for your 6 days in Bhutan.
