Bhutan

Welcome to Bhutan — The Last Shangri-La

Nestled in the Eastern Himalayas, Bhutan is one of the world’s most extraordinary travel destinations — a landlocked Buddhist kingdom that measures prosperity through Gross National Happiness (GNH) rather than GDP. With over 70% of its land forested and a firm commitment to carbon neutrality, Bhutan offers travellers something increasingly rare: a destination that feels genuinely untouched.

Top Places to Visit in Bhutan

Paro: Home to the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang), perched dramatically on a cliff at 3,120m — Bhutan’s most photographed landmark and a must-do half-day trek.
Thimphu: Bhutan’s vibrant capital features the grand Tashichho Dzong, the towering Buddha Dordenma statue, and a lively weekend market — all in the world’s only capital without traffic lights.
Punakha: The breathtaking Punakha Dzong — the “Palace of Great Happiness” — sits at the confluence of two rivers and is widely regarded as the most beautiful fortress in Bhutan.
Bumthang: Bhutan’s spiritual heartland, dotted with ancient temples, alpine valleys, and sacred tshechu festivals — perfect for cultural immersion and gentle trekking.

Best Time to Visit Bhutan

Spring (March–May): Peak season — blooming rhododendrons, clear Himalayan skies, and the famous Paro Tsechu festival.
Autumn (September–November): Crisp air, harvest landscapes, and vibrant festivals including the Thimphu Tsechu.
Winter (December–February): Quiet and affordable; ideal for spotting rare black-necked cranes in Phobjikha Valley.
