Bhutan is known as the Land of the Thunder Dragon- The Hidden Shangri-La, the Roof of the World. No travel destination on Earth is more remote or beautiful to explore than Bhutan. Nestled on the high Himalayas, this tiny kingdom fiercely protects its traditional ways of life and guards its isolation like no other country (Bhutan had no roads until 1962, and no television until 1999). This unique tour offers a rare chance to discover a secret world, explore ancient monasteries, and experience pristine Buddhist culture as it has existed since time immemorial.
Be one of the lucky few to visit this uniquely isolated kingdom!
