It’s a place so few experience. So exotic. So dramatic. Hidden deep in the Himalayas. It has an unspoiled essence that’s indescribable. Centuries-old temples clinging to forested cliffs. Sacred daily rituals. Mountains with seemingly no end. There aren’t trains or helicopters. No traffic lights in the capital. Change is coming to Bhutan, but at its own pace. And you’ll see it. In the monk on his cell phone. In the satellite dish perched above a traditional home. In the emerging democracy. But the untouched Bhutan is still there. Thousand-year-old festivals. A deeply rooted spirituality. A king who measures “gross national happiness.” You’ve discovered something that seemed like it couldn’t still exist. But it does. See it for yourself.

    An ancient landscape where life’s daily rituals remain sacred
    Hike to secluded temples and monasteries, including the famed Tiger’s Nest
    Namgay, our guide and friend, opens doors normally closed to foreigners
    Ascend herders’ trails to find valley views and colorful prayer flags
    Exchange ideas with Buddhist monks and receive a blessing
