Trips to Bhutan

Bhutan is anything but typical; to give a couple of examples, here the rice is red and happiness is measured. Were you not expecting the latter? Well, yes, you read that right, every year the Bhutanese gather exact data on the gross national happiness of their population, analyzing values like culture, the environment, or quality of life. In the Kingdom of the Thunder Dragon, a cradle of magic and mystery, it's impossible to count on one hand all the activities that can be carried out. Exploring the Haa Valley in the highlands, taking a walk through the temples or “dzongs” (such as Tashichhoe Dzong) that rest on huge cliffs, visiting the Punakha Valley or walking among over 100 stupas to enjoy the view of the Himalayas are just some of the many experiences that can be lived in Bhutan, the country of the Tiger's Nest, as the Taktshang Monastery is known, in the picturesque valley of Paro.

"Did you know that to this day there are still no traffic lights in Bhutan?"

If there is one thing for sure, it's that, whenever you go, you will have the opportunity to try their delicious 100% traditional cuisine at one of their “Tsechus” or religious festivals, which are celebrated throughout the year. Being surrounded by 'eight-thousanders', being the country with the highest percentage of protected areas, or the fact that the snow leopard has its home there are other factors why your trip to Bhutan might turn out to be the most special journey of your life. And we cannot forget its capital: Thimphu. Would you like to see why it's said to be one of the happiest countries in the world?
