Adventure & Comfort in Bhutan & Thailand
From the Himalayas to the Andaman Sea, two beautiful countries linked by deep yet contrasting Buddhist traditions.
Welcome to Bhutan: the world’s last remaining Buddhist kingdom, where success is measured in happiness and the hills are alive with prayer. Things are done differently here – and that’s why it makes for such an unforgettable holiday.
You know even before you clear customs in Bhutan that you’ve arrived at one of the most unique destinations on earth. The airport itself resembles a monastery, with all officials wearing traditional robes. Emerging outside, you’ll notice that much of the general population wear robes too. You’ll see archers practising their national sport, tigers and phalluses upon the village walls and it will not be long before you stumble across one of the countless festivals that embellish the country’s annual calendar.
To travel to Bhutan is to step completely away from the everyday. It is perfect for those looking to mark a special occasion, to discover something new or to reconnect with their inner explorer. The incomparably tranquil atmosphere and warm, welcoming people also make it the ideal place to relax and reflect – perhaps even meditate…
As with all Experience Travel Group holidays, your Bhutan experience will be designed exclusively for you. Whether you are looking to roam the awe-inspiring landscapes, to discover the intensely Buddhist culture or soak up quasi-Alpine luxury in one of the gorgeous hotels, we will help you create your perfect adventure.
We have scoped out the best hotels and experiences and work with excellent guides who will take you beneath the surface of the destination. Take a look at some of our suggested holidays for inspiration or give us a call to start your personal journey.
