Bearbrick I think you might have convinced me. After looking up the Gangtey lodge and valley online I'm very keen to visit and considering moving things around to increase the duration of the trip.

If we add on Gangtey, would 2 nights at each of the four lodges be too rushed?

I am also conscious our time in Paro might be too short as we will definitely be doing the Tigers Nest hike, however (and correct me if I'm wrong) the other Paro-based activities don’t seem as interesting as those at other lodges.
youll enjoy Gangtey.
still think 1 day ( but unrushed/ leisurely) stay in Thimphu would be enough and add to Punakha or Paro ?
You may change you mind too ( when in Bhutan, during trip ) if you gave them notice and if they are not full.
One thing I do is go at my own pace but do take into account the guide’s tips for practical things like weather … do insist on leisurely drives.
eg not leave too early from a lodge ( unless it’s for flights !) and not arrive in the dark.
do Bumthang next time
