Bhutan

The snowy Himalayas form a stunning backdrop to the kingdom known as Land of the Thunder Dragon. Bhutan is a place where the majesty of the landscape seems to bring local legends vividly to life - none more so than the enduring mystery of the yeti. This enigmatic country remains largely unexplored and has a strong emphasis on low-impact tourism, meaning that it has maintained its charming cultures and traditions. On a Bhutan vacation, friendly locals will add to the charm of exploring historic cities, and discovering mysterious monasteries clinging to the side of misty cliffs. You will also no doubt come across one of its many colourful festivals or ‘tsechus’, which often involve masked dancing, bright costumes and folk songs. Our travel guides allow you to gain an insight into the unique customs that make this country such a special place.
