Bhutan is a spectacular world of Himalayan mountains where magnificent fortresses command the hilltops and colourful Buddhist prayer flags flutter around ancient monasteries. It is also a naturalists dream with 72% of the kingdom under forest cover, and its pristine ecology is home to rare and endangered flora and fauna. Our tours are designed to bring clients into close contact with this unspoiled land and its vibrant Buddhist way of life. Tours visit numerous sacred sites, Dzongs, temples, landmarks, monasteries, markets, farmhouses, schools & museums. Specialty programs include photography, biking, bird watching and pilgrimage tours.
Highlights of our Bhutan cultural tours include:
• Taktsang Monastery, clinging to the side of a sheer rock cliff
• Ancient temples, monasteries and magnificent fortresses
• Bumthang, Bhutan’s spiritual heartland
• Winter home to the rare black-necked crane, Phobjikha Valley
• Countless rare animals and endemic plants in National Parks • Inspiring landscapes of mountains, valleys, forests and streams
When to Go
The best time to go is during Spring (Mar - May) to witness Bhutan in bloom and Autumn (Sep - Nov) when their is very little rain and the skies clear for the best mountain viewing. Winter (Dec - Mar) is the best time to view the Black-Necked cranes at their winter home in the Phobjikha Valley.
