Our dates aren't flexible, but we can change the amount of nights we spend at each lodge.
We have the opportunity to attend a festival on the day we'd travel from Punakha to Paro, based on the itinerary above. Would a few hours in the morning before driving to Paro be enough? Or shall we adjust to 3 nights Punakha and 2 nights Paro, to have a full day for the festival?
Punakha is very nice and would suggest a 3rd night there. They have a pool and the river to relax by - where you get to slow down and take in the experience.
If you arrive early to Thimphu, you may want to just stay overnight and leave a bit later for punahka and add a day to Paro to coincide with the festival. Unless you have a reason to stay longer in Thimphu.
