Largely untouched by tourists, now is the time to flee to this mysterious kingdom.

Holding up its Gross National Happiness ethos, Bhutan is for both the curious and the adventurous. Having opened its doors to travellers only in 1974, many worry about the ease of entering Bhutan, but with us, it’s as easy as riding a bike. Spend your days winding through verdant valleys, gazing at elegant dzongs and hiking to cliff-hugging monasteries. Meet with orange-robed monks, spiritual incense makers and meditation masters in between. Time it right and we’ll arrange a Buddhist festival in the heart of Bhutan when back on the ground.

The Kingdom of Bhutan is a small landlocked country located in the southern foothills of the Himalayan mountain range, sandwiched between the People’s Republic of China in the north and the Republic of India in the south.

Southern Bhutan has a hot and humid subtropical climate that is fairly unchanging throughout the year. Temperatures can vary between 15-30 degrees Celsius (59- 86 degrees Fahrenheit). In the Central parts of the country which consists of temperate and deciduous forests, the climate is more seasonal with warm summers and cool and dry winters. In the far Northern reaches of the kingdom, the weather is much colder during winter. Mountain peaks are perpetually covered in snow and lower parts are still cool in summer owing to the high altitude terrain.
