Bhutan:
'Land of the Thunder Dragon'
Hidden away up high in the mighty Himalayan Mountains, the Kingdom of Bhutan is a destination that even the most seasoned travellers consider a privilege to visit. Bhutan has remained relatively isolated from western influence, having only opened its doors to tourism in 1974, enabling it to maintain its strong Buddhist heritage. Sacred monasteries sit precariously on sheer cliffs, fluttering prayer flags line high mountain ridges, crimson robed monks chant in distant temples, and colourful, masked dancers perform ancient rituals on sacred Dzong (fortress) grounds during Buddhist festivals. The people of Bhutan have drawn a rich culture from this heritage and made it the essence of their timeless identity.

Bhutan: Wildlife & Culture
Wildlife, hiking and culture
From Bhutan’s Mountains to the Forests of Royal Manas
21 February – 5 March 2027 | 13 Days / 12 Nights
Bhutan is an extraordinary destination for wildlife. From high mountain valleys and extensive forests to the warm subtropical south, its changing landscapes support an exceptional diversity of species, including Asian Elephants, Gaur, Golden Langurs and a remarkable variety of birdlife.
Wildlife is at the heart of this tour. Over 13 days, we’ll explore a wide range of habitats, looking for wildlife throughout the journey as well as spending three full days in Royal Manas National Park. We’ll visit a conservation centre dedicated to the critically endangered White-bellied Heron, search the southern forests for mammals and birds, and visit the beautiful Phobjikha Valley, winter home of the Black-necked Crane.
Alongside the wildlife, we’ll experience some of Bhutan’s great cultural highlights. We’ll hike through the forest to the spectacular Tiger’s Nest Monastery, visit historic temples and fortress-monasteries, cross mountain passes and travel through towns, valleys and rural communities.
