Package Overview

Experience the glorious country of Bhutan, with its legendary landscape set in the alpine, fascinating mountains filled with the echoes of ancient warriors-fierce but religious, delightful fresh air, and enigmatic culture never seen before. We鈥檝e created a wonderful trip鈥攚ith a fantastic array of options鈥攖hat takes you through the best of this enchanting realm. Set in the eastern Himalayas, the landscapes of Bhutan are unsheltered, remote, and absolutely breathtaking. This otherworldly landscape has mountaintops wreathed in clouds, plunging valleys, dusky villages ringed with farmlands and emerald meadows closing in on the distant hills. Every portion of Bhutan is a soothing sight to see and to click and to be explored.

With your private guide, you can explore the cities of Paro and Thimphu with their charming fortresses and temples, explore villages that seem lost in time and move on the top of a hill for a view of the mountains of the valley below. There are profoundly glorious sights to see and explorations to be made in Bhutan. But Bhutan is not just about explorations, it is about realization and reflection. Bhutan teaches the relationship between simplicity and happiness and explains the bonds between culture and serenity. That is perhaps its greatest victory in the modern world.
