Bhutan is a small Himalayan nation in the eastern Himalayan range. The country is deeply rooted in Buddhism and practices Vajrayana Buddhism (Tantric Buddhism).
In this modern time, Bhutan is a kingdom rich in ancient cultural heritage and intricate traditional architecture. Here, you will experience a rich tapestry of spirituality, faith, and care for nature.
We have designed the Bhutan cultural tour package to provide a close glimpse of this country that has been embracing modernization, nature, and its ancient cultural heritage hand in hand.
This is one of the excellent Bhutan tour packages. You will explore famous cities like Paro, Thimphu, and Punakha and also travel to untouched, pristine places like Haa Valley, Trongsa, and Bumthang.
Guided by a local expert tour guide, the journey will provide you with a deep insight into Bhutanese culture, traditions, art, architecture, food, and daily life. Likewise, the tour is also naturally quite enriching.
Our representatives will welcome you at the Paro International Airport upon landing. Your flight will be lovely, offering stunning snow-capped mountain views.
