This tour is a journey into the heart of Bhutan, steeped in Buddhism, where the forces of nature are severe, yet equally balanced with the lives and faith of the people. This tour begins easy and is moderately active as it progresses with plenty to look around and take-in the raw natural and spiritual beauty of the country.

Our tours are designed at a slower pace with ample time for casual birders too, who are also interested in cultural exposure. As well, along the way there will be plentiful time to stop at a moment’s notice for photo opportunities.
