The reasons people come.
Not activities to tick off. These are the threads that run through our journeys, weight them however you like, and the route changes shape around them.
Sacred Festivals
Masked Cham dance in a dzong courtyard, timed to the lunar calendar. We explain what each sequence depicts, so the colour becomes legible.
Buddhist Culture
Vajrayana lineage, monastic life and the maroon robe of the eastern Himalaya, not saffron, which belongs to another tradition entirely.
Village Life
Stone farmhouses, buckwheat fields, butter tea and the rhythm of an agricultural year that still governs most of the country.
Mountain Landscapes
Passes above 3,000 metres, and peaks that remain unclimbed by law, Bhutan closed its summits out of respect for the deities said to live there.
Trekking
Highland pasture, supported camps and the slower way through a valley. Moderate rather than technical, but you sleep at altitude.
Arts & Crafts
The thirteen traditional crafts, still formally taught at the School of Traditional Arts and still practised in workshops you can visit.
