Bhutan

The matchless beauty and tranquility of Bhutan make this country a treasure in the Himalayas and in the world. Fervent storms in these dramatic mountains gave Bhutan its name which means “Land of the Thunder Dragon.” Closed to the outside world until 1974, the government enforces maximum tourist numbers to ensure preservation of a lifestyle that is famously measured as “Gross National Happiness.” This intriguing country immerses travelers in Himalayan culture and unique, millennia-long traditions. Above are some sample itineraries for journeys in Bhutan. You can book the trip as is or have our expert destination specialist build a customized trip for you.

Reviews on Bhutan

“
“Our trip organized to Bhutan was so perfect. As my daughter and I needed someone to plan the details and create the perfect itinerary to meet both of our needs (I’m 88) it was a relief to depend wholly on Pam’s expertise. Every step of the way was carefully organized and well executed. We had a flawless journey and the trip of a lifetime!”

“We had a wonderful time. Pam and Jwalant did a wonderful job and everything turned out perfectly… All the hotels were fine (plenty of heat and hot water in ALL LOL). I think the highlight of our trip was the Tigers Nest! Just loved seeing it and in Tibet the Potala Palace.

Ron and I want to thank you and Jwalant to all you did in planning this wonderful trip. It will forever stand as one of the most interesting trips we have taken. Will be in touch about further travel plans as we decide. Thanks to you and Jwalant again!”
