Add Dochula Pass on the drive to Punakha and you have got one of the best mountain views in Asia as a bonus.

It is not a rushed trip and it is not an overlong one. It gives each place enough time to breathe. If you can only do five nights, drop Phobjikha and save it for your second trip. You will come back.
