Walking holidays in Bhutan

Walking holidays in Bhutan not only transport you to another land, but also to another time and place.

Strict isolationist policies have kept its borders closed for centuries, leaving it the last Himalayan kingdom to open up to the wider world. This remote mountain nation in South Asia restricts visitors to only a few thousand people per year. As such, those lucky enough to be granted access have the rare privilege of witnessing a way of life unchanged in generations.

Let our expert leaders introduce you to the ‘Land of the Thunder Dragon’ on a walking holiday that’s every bit as incredible as you’d expect. Bordered by China to the north and India to the south, Bhutan’s landscapes range from 7000-metre-high Himalayan peaks to steamy jungle-covered foothills.

Discover golden temples, sky-scraping stupas, and epic views over the Himalayan Mountains as local guides lead you through the western valleys of Thimphu, Punakha, and Paro.

Not only will we explore Punakha Dzong Fortress, where all of Bhutan's kings are crowned, but also visit the 'Tiger's Nest Monastery' – an incredible feat of engineering that clings to a 900m-high cliff face.

Our guided tours of Bhutan offer an unforgettable journey where you’re more likely to encounter nomadic yak-herders and robe-clad Buddhist monks than other tourists.
