The surpassingly lovely, friendly, and pacific kingdom of Bhutan is one of the world’s most entrancing travel destinations. GeoEx sends more travelers to Bhutan than any other American company, and we don’t think any company anywhere is better at designing and operating private trips there. Bhutan is one of our predilected places on the planet.
Our Brent Olson is a regular commuter to the kingdom, and his social and business relationships link him solidly with Thimphu’s movers and shakers, with craftspeople and yak herders in the country’s farthest corners, and with just about everybody in between. Brent, Nicole Peelle, Michael Steigerwald, and Becca Glatz are adept at handcrafting specialized journeys for textile, art, and craft fanciers, for scholars and fans of Vajrayana Buddhism, for trekkers in virgin areas of the Bhutan Himalaya, for families and groups of friends who want to visit remote festivals or just spend more days here or fewer there. The expert team has recently organized several helicopter tours, which allow us to access places and perspectives in Bhutan that few have seen. Only GeoEx, with its long history in Bhutan, can easily cut through the red tape to set up such cutting-edge tours.
