Tailored Bhutan Holidays Just for You

The world’s last remaining Buddhist kingdom, Bhutan is perched in the jagged Himalayas between Tibet and India. Aesthetically, Bhutan is simply beautiful with an appeal that is never-ending and combined as it is, with the harmonious society that the country is famous for, Bhutan is deserving of the title “The Last Shangri-La”.

Sure, some of what you’ll see in Bhutan will be familiar, but oh so much of it is new and intriguing - the incredible mountain views, lush valleys, age-old temples, and the way of life will inspire aesthetes, while foodies will find that the cuisine is wonderful and contradicts their expectations. Interestingly, the rice in Bhutan is usually red, as red rice is the only variety that grows in the mountains. Don’t miss the cuisine, which is filled with chillies and cheese.

Bhutan’s reputation for mystery is clearly justified, more so when you take your first magicfilled step into one of Bhutan’s incredible Buddhist temples or when you witness the ancient practices of the inhabitants inside one of Bhutan’s serene monasteries such as Lhodrak Kharchhu Monastery in Bumthang or the ‘Tiger’s Nest’ Magic Monastery in Taktshang which is perched daringly atop a stark cliff face and surrounded by breathtaking panoramas of the perfect Himalayan landscape.
