EXPERIENCE | RECHARGING BODY AND SOUL IN THE HIMALAYAN KINGDOM

Travel through Bhutan's stunning landscapes and fascinating cultures, requiring a week to ten days for a truly immersive experience. Discover the charming valleys of Paro, Thimpu, Phobjikha and Bumtang, and enjoy helicopter forays farther into the enigmatic mountains. Bhutan's profound cultural heritage is influenced by Tibetan Buddhism. Guests can engage with respected abbots and temple curators, delving into lesser-known traditions and esoteric rituals. Remote villages welcome guests to participate in authentic sports such as 'khuru' (extreme dart throwing!) and archery, the national sport, deepening cultural exchange and friendship.

Bhutan is a natural haven for diverse bird and animal species. Leisurely strolls and energetic treks around remote lodges reveal the country's rich biodiversity. For the adventurous, high-end camps can be arranged, providing a base for thrilling downhill mountain biking or helicopter-supported explorations on untouched trails, or indulge in horse trekking through tranquil valleys. Head south for an unforgettable multi-day jungle river expedition with a world-class rafting team, spending nights in luxurious camps along rushing white-water rivers toward the Indian border, creating memories of a lifetime!

The best time to visit is spring or autumn avoiding summer monsoon rains, guests also enjoy the quieter and cooler winter season.
