Bhutan Trips & Travel

Few have seen it—France gets more visitors every 90 minutes than visit Bhutan in a year—but within this tiny kingdom exists more natural beauty and cultural treasure than just about anywhere else. Led by one of the few Westerners to have lived there, our Bhutan team has more than 30 years of experience, granting unparalleled access to the best temples, treks and artisans, and designing the very best luxury Bhutan travel itineraries.

  • See monks in masks and brocaded robes leap and whirl, dancing at the Thimphu Festival or Jambay Lhakhang Festival.
  • Discover the beautiful Phobjikha Valley, winter nesting site for rare black-necked cranes.
  • Hike to Taktsang Lhakhang, the Tiger’s Nest, a monastery clinging to a vertical granite cliff 2000 feet above the valley floor.
  • Watch for wild boar, deer, clouded and snow leopard, Himalayan black bear, and red fox in Royal Manas National Park.

Let our experts guide you to your perfect trip

Himalayan Traverse with Peter Hillary

Retrace an Epic Adventure from India to Nepal to Bhutan

In the early 1980s, Graeme Dingle, Chewang Tashi, and Peter Hillary (son of acclaimed mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary) made history by traversing the Himalaya from Kangchenjunga in northeast India to K2 in Pakistan. In 10 months, they trekked some 3,000 miles across rugged terrain and dozens of 17,000–20,000-foot passes, sleeping in tents on glaciers and… Continued

Need to Know

When to Go

  • BEST TIMES: October-November offers clear skies for views of the Himalayas, and March-May Rhododendrons, magnolias and wildflowers are blooming. Both have cooler weather perfect for trekking.
  • ALSO CONSIDER: December-February skies are still clear for mountain views. Nights are cold, but days are sunny and crowds have thinned at the top sights. June-August is the rainy season and clouds may obscure views.
