Bhutan

We are delighted to announce that we will be returning to Bhutan in late 2024! The Bhutanese government have realised the impact of tripling their Visa fees in 2022 and early 2023 and are halving this as of the 1st September 2023.

Our man on the ground ~ Nidup ~ will be in touch after he does a research trip in November 2023 with details of what is now available within the framework of quality lodges and experiences that we are proud to have delivered for the past 12 years of journeying here.

I anticipate I will have exact dates and details in early December 2023.

Imagine a kingdom where happiness is paramount, where culture and tradition remain intact and where Buddhism has predominated since the 7th century.

Welcome to Bhutan, the ‘Land of the Thunder Dragon’. Step inside a mystical kingdom floating high amongst the clouds in the Himalayas, a place often romantically referred to as the last Shangri-La.  

Enter a land of ancient customs and traditional culture, of tiny Buddhist temples perched high on mountain tops, of majestic fortresses built thousands of years ago rising up to the sky and of soaring mountain peaks.

Perched between India and China, over 70% of Bhutan is covered in rugged, unspoiled, virgin forest, and offers spectacular views of the Eastern Himalayan mountain range. Their incredible commitment to environmental sustainability and renewable energy has earned Bhutan the title of the only carbon negative country in the world.

Bhutan truly is extraordinary. Join this special journey and discover why their Gross National Happiness policy inspires the rest of the world.
