Mystical Bhutan

Bhutan Festival Tour | 13 Days from Bangkok | 4 Nov 2024  &  4 Nov 2025

Delve into the heart of this secluded kingdom, a treasure trove of dense forests, majestic mountains, and rich Buddhist culture on this unforgettable Byroads tour.

Begin in Bangkok and fly to Paro, launching an eastward journey to Bumthang Valley, Bhutan’s spiritual centre. Witness breathtaking mountainous landscapes adorned with prayer flags, deep valleys with traditional villages, ceremonial chortens, and grand, ancient Dzongs.

Be immersed in the wonder of the famous Black Necked Crane Festival, a celebration of the arrival of these endangered birds to the stunning Phobjikha Valley and mingle with the warm and welcoming Bhutanese folk. Discover the living culture and history of the world’s last Shangri-La. And for the adventurous, the journey culminates in a hike to the awe-inspiring Tiger’s Nest Monastery. This sacred site perched dramatically on a  mountainside is bound to leave you breathless and filled with awe.
