TRIP FACTS

Bhutan, the Land of the Peaceful Dragon, is a destination like no other. Known as the last Himalayan Buddhist kingdom, it offers travelers an unparalleled blend of majestic landscapes, ancient traditions, and spiritual heritage. A Bhutan cultural tour promises a deep dive into a land where time seems to have stood still, preserving its vibrant culture and Buddhist way of life for centuries.
One of the most iconic experiences in Bhutan is visiting the renowned Taktsang Monastery, or “Tiger’s Nest,” perched dramatically on a cliffside. This sacred site, along with the country’s ancient monasteries, breathtaking architecture, and timeless customs, forms the foundation of an exceptional tour to Bhutan.
With Annapurna Encounter’s meticulously crafted Bhutan tour packages, you can immerse yourself in the unique cultural and spiritual essence of this Himalayan gem. The journey begins in Kathmandu, Nepal, with a guided exploration of UNESCO World Heritage Sites showcasing rich history and tradition. From Kathmandu, embark on a scenic flight to Paro, Bhutan, where the adventure truly begins.
