6 Nights / 7 Days Bhutan Bhutan: The Last Shangri-La
Nestled in the Eastern Himalayas between India and China, Bhutan is a mystical kingdom where ancient traditions meet pristine nature. Known as the “Land of the Thunder Dragon”, Bhutan stands out as the world’s only country to prioritize Gross National Happiness over GDP, offering a unique and deeply spiritual travel experience.
With its majestic dzongs (fortresses), serene Buddhist monasteries, and snow-capped Himalayan peaks, Bhutan captivates travelers seeking peace, culture, and untouched landscapes. From the cliffside wonder of Paro Taktsang (Tiger’s Nest Monastery) to the vibrant streets of Thimphu, Bhutan seamlessly blends its rich heritage with modern sustainability.
Explore verdant valleys, attend colorful masked festivals (tsechus), and trek through trails dotted with fluttering prayer flags. With strict tourism policies focused on “High Value, Low Impact”, Bhutan offers uncrowded, meaningful travel, perfect for those seeking mindfulness and adventure.
Whether you're meditating in a monastery, hiking through the Himalayas, or simply soaking in the country’s quiet charm, Bhutan feels less like a destination—and more like a spiritual home.
