They’ve spent years adjusting to everyone else’s schedules. Now, perhaps, travel can be different.
More comfortable | Less rushed | Better paced | More meaningful.
A small, intimate group that allows for a more personal and comfortable travel experience.
The itinerary is designed around experiencing places rather than racing through a checklist.
A mix of carefully selected 3-star and 4-star properties, with the current plan including a 4-star deluxe stay in Thimphu.
A private vehicle and Bhutan-authorised English/Hindi-speaking guide accompany the group through the journey.
Breakfast and dinner are included, with meals planned as pure vegetarian.
Because a good holiday shouldn’t leave you exhausted from trying to see everything.
We don’t believe that growing older means travelling less. We believe it means travelling differently.
There will be mountain roads. There will be some walking. There will be changes in altitude. There may be uneven terrain. And Bhutan’s landscape is naturally mountainous.
So we encourage you to come with curiosity, reasonable fitness and an openness to experience. At the same time, the journey is designed to avoid the pressure of constantly rushing from one attraction to another.
Comfort matters | Pace matters | Company matters.
And how you feel during the journey matters.
