Bhutan is closer than you think – just a one-hour flight from Kathmandu, Escape the stress of daily life and enjoy the cool Himalayan mountain air and pristine scenery of Bhutan with the care of Bhutan Visit.
A Buddhist country, situated in the Eastern Himalayas, Bhutan will impress you with its old-world charm, its thriving traditional culture, and its natural beauty. It is a country of fortresses and temples, shrouded in legend, some dating back to the 7th century. For centuries it was closed to the outside world and life outside the city seems little changed since olden times. And yet, you will meet well-informed, sophisticated people who speak English as well as their native tongue.
This sparsely populated mountain Kingdom boasts some of the most spectacular scenery you could ever hope to find. Many of the mountains of the Eastern Himalayas soar to heights of around 7,000 meters. The forests are dense and the villages and farms that point to the slopes present scenes of a simple way of life lived in harmony with nature. We offer tailor-made tours for private groups and also group tours with fixed departure dates. You will find here a selection of suggested itineraries but we can design a tour of any duration tailored to your particular preferences. All our tours and treks are all-inclusive packages. Whatever your preference, Bhutan Visit offers you the experience of a lifetime.
