Know Before You Travel

  • Things to do in this tour:
    • Traditional Bhutanese cooking class to prepare local dishes
      • Participate in a joint cooking class from an amicable house chef in Paro or Thimphu. Fresh, organic produce will help you master classics like ema datshi, Mo-Mo, and red rice. Listen to the stories behind Bhutanese foodstuffs and local spice blends. Then you will enjoy a relaxed tasting of foods. You can take this recipe home, and when you want to remember this anniversary celebration, you can recreate this recipe with the same flavour.
    • Private archery session with local experts
      • You can try the national game of Bhutan, Archery, on a quiet stretch in Haa Valley or Thimphu. Coaches would demonstrate safe posture, aiming tips, and interesting game rules. They use both bamboo bows and the modern sets to maintain interest. Then you can cheer all moments and shots, take friendly and interesting couple challenges, and snap playful photos. This mild competition shares energy with your anniversary tour in Bhutan, but is not intense.
    • Professional photography tour to capture special moments
      •  A professional photographer will capture a photo of Paro Taktsang(Tiger's Nest Monastery), with a sunrise angle. Moreover, the riverside bridge in Punakha, blue-hour frames at Tashichho Dzong, and hilltop scenes near the National Museum of Bhutan will be photographed. The photographer will assist you with poses and also capture your candid moments. 
    • Shopping for Bhutanese handicrafts and souvenirs
      • Explore through the artisan stalls and curated stops like the Bhutan Textile Museum and Malaya Jewelry. In between, learn about hand-woven textiles, yak-wool scarves, wood carvings, thangka art, and gentle incense. You will be given time to gift packing and custom fittings so that you can carry it home easily and in a meaningful way. 
    • Attend a traditional mask dance (Cham Dance) performance
      • There will be local Bhutanese events like Tshechu festivals in Paro or Thimphu, so prepare yourself to visit. In Cham Dance, observe a mix of drums, vibrant masks, and sacred stories that mean protection and good fortune. Few cultural centres organise evening shows even on regular days. It is a bright frame through heritage and a strong blessing for couples.
    • Guided meditation or mindfulness session at a temple
      • Meditative sessions at Kurjey Lhakhang or Tamshing Lhakhang with a soft instructor. Mantra and beginner’s gratitude practice, and beginner’s breathing. Think about goals that both of you share, then set simple and clear intentions for the year ahead. If you would like, have an end-of-day optional hot stone bath: an indulgence that further heightens rest and connection.
