Bhutan is a spectacular destination year-round. This private journey offers a window into the beauty of Bhutan and its people from the comfort of Bhutan’s most luxurious hotels. As we venture across the western valleys, we gain an appreciation for the country’s stunning topography, unique culture and its inhabitants’ strong desire to preserve both. We explore charming villages, visit with local farmers and artisans, and ponder the majestic dzongs that dominate the landscapes. Weather permitting we will also be treated to some of the most striking mountain views in the Himalayas!

Our lodgings include Amankora, Uma Paro and Taj Tashi. After a long day of exploring, we will relish the unparalleled comfort, flawless service, scrumptious meals and relaxing spa treatments at these magnificent properties. And of course we include the usual GeoEx touches: school visits, prayer flag ceremonies, cooking classes and traditional tea ceremonies, meetings with Bhutanese dignitaries, and more.
