Traverse the Land of the Thunder Dragon

Labeled Asia’s best-kept secret, Bhutan is filled with hidden cultural treasures. Nestled between India and Tibet, Bhutan is home to dramatic mountains and valleys — a mecca for trekkers who will enjoy traversing through rural villages and ancient shrines, streams, waterfalls, and wild forests.

Take on the challenge of The Nabji Trail and stay in local hotels and homestays for an authentic experience.

Travel ethically and feel a sense of belonging in this kingdom full of smiles and kindness. Connect with the residents of Bhutan by volunteering through reputable community projects and local schools, and open your mindset through discussions with Buddhist leaders and conservationists.

This is uncommon travel in a spiritual land fueled by happiness.
