Travel to five western districts of Bhutan and delve in to discover why this tiny Kingdom chose to remain secluded for centuries. Visit magnificent fortresses and temples that dot hilltops and strategic locations against the backdrop of soaring mountains adorned with snows and forests. Marvel at the pristine environment and age-old traditions of the magical Kingdom of Bhutan so well preserved that the outside world calls it ‘Last Shangri-La’. This 14 Days and 13 Nights trip include a 2-Day trek in the central Bhutan district of Bumthang known as the ‘cultural heartland of Bhutan’. The 2-Day trek is fairly easy that takes you through rich forests, beautiful valleys and along crystal-clear rivers filled with trouts. There are plenty of ancient temples to visit and pass through a number of typical Bhutanese villages where you can stop and rest offering you an opportunity to understand the culture and traditions of Bhutan.

  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • This tour can be customized and run on a private basis just for you and your group.

If you already have flight tickets to and from Bhutan, we can take bookings up to a week before the departure date. To process visa, it only takes 4-5 business days.
  • There are only two airlines that connect Bhutan with the outside world and so securing air tickets can be difficult especially during the months of high season.

We recommend you book your international flights a few months in advance especially if you plan to visit during the high season months of March to May and September to November.
