We spent one night at Thimphu, then two nights at each of the others. Because of the lengthy traveling times between the valleys (due to twisting roads rather than distance), "skipping" one of the five will result in even longer drive times, so it's a trade-off.
I enjoyed all five, but Gangtey is the one that I wouldn't miss. However, it's also the most remote.
