What's this trip about?

    Experience Bhutan and its people on a short trip by meeting families, staying in small hotels, visiting schools, enjoying hot stone baths, and sampling regional foods. Travel routes in Bhutan may be somewhat limited, but what you do in the country is as broad as your imagination. You can customize the dates for this trip to suit your timing. Bhutan has many different festivals, and we would be happy to work with you to include one of those special events in your visit. Additionally, should you wish to meet with experts on such issues as Gross National Happiness, traditional medicines, Buddhism or other subjects, this can be arranged. We can also add a variety of activities, such as archery, biking, special ceremonies – whatever. This trip is priced with base level hotels in the country, and we have given you supplements for some of the mid-level and 5-star hotels. If you don’t see what you want, we can easily get the information you need.
