A Himalayan kingdom that rewards slow travel
Bhutan lies in the eastern Himalaya between India and China: steep forested valleys, white-walled fortresses and prayer flags strung across the passes. Its constitution requires that at least 60 percent of the land remains under forest, and Buddhism shapes everyday life, from butter lamps in village temples to the great dzongs that still serve as both monasteries and district offices.
Tourism follows a policy of high value, low volume. Visitors pay a Sustainable Development Fee that helps fund conservation, free health care and education, and travel is led by licensed Bhutanese guides. The country feels unhurried, and a journey here works best when someone local plans it with care.
Ways to travel
Every trip is private and built around you. These are the journeys our guests ask for most often.
Dzongs, temples, farmhouses and markets across the western and central valleys, on itineraries from 6 to 12 days. See the Heartland Journey
Plan your dates around a tshechu, when masked dances fill dzong courtyards and whole communities gather in their finest clothes. See the Thimphu Tshechu tour
From the Druk Path over lake-dotted ridges to the high Jomolhari and Laya routes beneath the snow peaks. See the Jomolhari Trek
Black-necked crane country in the Phobjikha Valley and the subtropical forests of Royal Manas National Park. See the Nature and Wildlife tour
Unhurried days of meditation, temple visits and quiet walks, ending with the climb to Tiger’s Nest. See the Spiritual and Wellness tour

Festival season
Tshechus are religious festivals held each year in dzong and temple courtyards in honour of Guru Rinpoche. Monks and lay dancers perform masked cham dances handed down for centuries, and families travel in from the surrounding villages to watch and receive blessings.
Dates follow the lunar calendar. Paro Tshechu usually falls in spring and Thimphu Tshechu in autumn.

The capital: the Memorial Chorten, Buddha Dordenma and the weekend market.

The former capital, where Punakha Dzong stands where two rivers meet.
