Kingdom of Bhutan

Discover a land like no other on this adventurous journey through Bhutan, hidden gem of the Himalayas. Take an included flight from Bangkok, Thailand to Paro, Bhutan, where you will begin your authentic encounter with storied cultural traditions, lush natural vistas and warm, welcoming people. Hike through pristine green forests; visit temples, fortresses and a palace. Take in scenic views of verdant valleys and the snow‑capped Himalayas. Learn about rural life and art at the fascinating Folk Heritage and National Textile Museums. Meet and interact with local people during a visit to the Arts and Crafts school — where students will present and discuss their artwork and crafts — and a market trip and cooking class with a Bhutanese family. Through it all, immerse yourself in Bhutan's serene environment and experience Gross National Happiness, their calm and contemplative lifestyle. Over the 11 nights, stay in four different first-class and deluxe hotels. Optional Pre-Tour Extension in Bangkok available.
