Adventure, nature & local experiences
Experiences that connect you with Bhutan’s people, culture and natural beauty — added to any holiday.
Add a little of everything
All activities are coordinated around your itinerary, the season and local operating conditions.
Scenic Himalayan drives
Over Dochula, Pele La and Chele La, with tea stops, prayer flags and — on clear days — snow peaks on the horizon.
Traditional Bhutanese cuisine
Ema datshi, red rice, momos and buckwheat — and a farmhouse kitchen where you can join the cooking.
Village and cultural experiences
Farmhouse visits, archery grounds, butter-lamp offerings and time with the people who live here.
River rafting and outdoor activities
Gentle rafting on the Punakha rivers, hikes and picnics — subject to availability and conditions.
Local markets and handicrafts
The weekend market, textile weavers, painters and woodcarvers, and crafts to take home.
Monasteries, dzongs and heritage
From Tiger’s Nest and Punakha Dzong to quiet village temples and ruined fortresses.
Nature walks and day hikes
Forest trails to hilltop monasteries, valley walks and short ridge hikes.
Festivals
Masked dances and village celebrations through the year — timed into your trip when dates allow.
Time your trip with a tshechu
Festival dates follow the lunar calendar and change every year. Tell us when you can travel and we will check which festivals fall in your window.
The classic high trail between Paro and Thimphu, past alpine lakes and the hilltop Jele Dzong, with nights at both Residencies.
A relaxed week that adds the glacial Phobjikha valley and three nights at our own Punakha Residency.
Dawn kora with Thimphu’s elders, a cliffside hermitage and time with monks and nuns — a journey inward.
