About our Bhutan Holidays
A holiday in the Kingdom of Bhutan, The Land of the Thunder Dragon, means an escape from everyday life into a land of myths and legends where daily life revolves around peace, harmony and unity.
Isolated and set deep in the Himalayas, Bhutan's beautiful and pristine valleys, stunning snow-peaked mountains, and sublime rivers of crystal clear water are every bit as inviting for travellers as its unique and inspired way of life, which pursues happiness as the goal rather than economic success. Traditions and culture have stood the test of time and survived unchanged for millennia, bringing it closest to the myth of the lost 'Shangri-La'.
