Bhutan
Tour Package 2026
Discover the Kingdom of Happiness — a pristine Himalayan land where ancient monasteries cling to clifftops, forests cover 70% of the land, and Gross National Happiness matters more than GDP.
The Last Shangri-La on Earth
Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon, is unlike any destination you have ever visited. This small Himalayan kingdom chose to measure its success not in economic output but in the happiness of its people — a philosophy that has shaped every aspect of life here, from its immaculate forests and pristine rivers to its centuries-old monasteries and welcoming communities.
Tiger's Nest — Paro Taktsang
Hike to the iconic cliff-hanging monastery where Guru Rinpoche meditated in the 8th century — a once-in-a-lifetime experience and Bhutan's most famous sight. The 4–5 hour trek up to 3,120m rewards you with breathtaking views across the Paro Valley.
Punakha Dzong — The Palace of Bliss
One of the most beautiful buildings in the Himalayas, sitting at the confluence of two glacial rivers. The majestic Punakha Dzong is especially stunning during spring when the surrounding jacaranda trees are in full bloom — a photographer's dream.
The World's Only Carbon-Negative Country
Bhutan absorbs more carbon than it produces. Over 70% of its land is forested, enshrined in its constitution. Visiting Bhutan is travel with a genuinely clear conscience — preserving what the rest of the planet has lost.

Tiger's Nest Monastery Trek — Paro Taktsang
The defining moment of every Bhutan trip.
