2018 Tours

Easy Adventures are cultural explorations, in-depth tours which cover as much as possible geographically, culturally, and spiritually. There are countless things to see in the world’s last remaining Himalayan Kingdom. On our Easy Adventures, you will explore Bhutan’s beautiful landscape, its centuries old traditions and its unique way of life based on Himalayan Buddhist beliefs. You will learn about Bhutanese art and architecture, dance and music, handicrafts and folklore; you will get to meet local farmers and get to know some gentle, earthy and hospitable people. You will cross high passes in our deluxe four-wheel drive vehicles and ride a pony to stare up at the venerated Tiger’s Nest. You will gaze at awesome snow clad peaks and share in the festivities with local villagers at ancient dzongs. You will soak in a stone-bath and stop to take pictures of the rare golden langurs from the road-side. You will visit a weaver’s den and a farmer’s house. You will experience a culture and a land which remains the most unspoiled and most beautiful example of the Himalayan Buddhist way of life in existence today.

 

Walking Tours are cultural explorations for active people who enjoy lots of walking and day hikes, with nights spent in comfortable country inns and small hotels. Short hikes and walkings will take you over the ridges and into wonderful landscapes. It will allow you to visit monasteries or a village where there are no motorable roads. It will allow you to get to the top of hills for fantastic views of landscapes below with perhaps a silvery shining river snaking its way across the valley floor. It will allow you to quench your curiosities about what is on the other side of the hills; it will make it possible for you to get to the heart of the countryside and measure its pulse. Everywhere there are hikes and excursions to villages, to temples and to spectacular citadels of natural beauty where you can experience the kingdom in its fullest. These short walks and hikes will lead you away from the beaten path, and allow you to visit out of the way places reachable only on foot.

 

Trek Adventures are wondrous experience anywhere; in Bhutan it is unequalled. It offers you an opportunity that is already lost elsewhere.  More than 65% of the land is protected by law.  You walk in pure, pristine, wilderness — sometimes long and arduous. However, crystal clear air, lonely paths and views that defy descriptions compliment them.  Experience the kingdom’s lush terrain and pristine forests, meet with yak herders and spot its unique wildlife such as takins and golden langurs, cross its awesome passes and gaze at its stunning peaks. In Bhutan it is still very likely that you will find no other trekkers on your trail. Trekking in the late April and May offer extra benefits of hundreds of species of exotic flowers in bloom.  All our trekking adventures can be combined with extensive sightseeing and cultural activities.
