Your Trip, Sorted
Everything You Need for Your Bhutan Trip
Bhutan is one of the world's most extraordinary and carefully preserved destinations — a small Himalayan kingdom that has deliberately limited tourism to protect its culture, environment, and Buddhist way of life. The Tiger's Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang), clinging to a 900m cliff face, is one of Asia's most iconic images. Thimphu is the world's only capital city without traffic lights. The Paro Valley is a landscape of rice paddies, willow trees, and ancient dzong fortresses. Bhutan measures prosperity not in GDP but in Gross National Happiness — a philosophy that permeates every aspect of Bhutanese life. For Indian travellers, Bhutan is uniquely accessible — no visa required, direct flights from Indian cities, and a genuine spiritual journey unlike any other in the Himalayas.
