Why Bhutan Should Be Your Next Himalayan Getaway
Bhutan is unlike anywhere else in the Himalayas. It’s a country that measures its progress in Gross National Happiness rather than GDP, and that philosophy shows up everywhere – from its untouched forests to its carefully preserved architecture.
Tiger’s Nest Monastery
Paro Taktsang, better known as the Tiger’s Nest, clings to a cliffside 900 metres above the Paro valley. The hike up is challenging but is easily the most iconic experience Bhutan has to offer.
A Kingdom That Limits Tourism on Purpose
Bhutan caps visitor numbers to protect its culture and environment, which means popular sites never feel overcrowded the way they can elsewhere in the region.
Punakha Dzong and the Dochula Pass
Punakha Dzong, set at the confluence of two rivers, is considered one of the most beautiful fortress-monasteries in the country, while the Dochula Pass offers sweeping views of the Himalayan range on a clear day.
A Culture Built Around Mindfulness
From prayer flags fluttering over mountain passes to monks going about daily rituals in centuries-old monasteries, Bhutan offers a slower, more reflective kind of travel.
Our Bhutan Tour Package covers Paro, Thimphu, and Punakha for travellers looking for exactly this kind of trip.
