Tour Programme Index

There are two basic types of programs offered in Bhutan - cultural tours and treks.

Cultural tours are excursions by cars, visiting important cultural sites and places around the country. Certified cultural guides, who are trained by the Department of Tourism, escort all tours. Lodging and fooding is arranged at designated hotels and lodges certified by the Department of Tourism.

Treks are literally luxury camping. A team of licensed trekking guide(s),"high altitude chefs", support staff and pack animals accompany trekking groups. Everything is carried on animals so that trekkers are left in comfort with only daypacks. Chefs prepare an array of dishes that surprise even seasoned travelers. Some have said that the food served at camps surpass what is served in hotels in the towns.

Treks, depending on the interest, are arranged so as to allow cultural tours also, before or after treks. And, there are many small cultural tours lasting three to five days, or more, that are offered in combination with main cultural tours. It serves as an interesting way to experience rural Bhutan without the challenges of big treks.

There are also special interest tours that can be offered in customized programs. These are bird watching, flower tours, fly fishing, filming, photography, mountain biking, white water rafting, kayaking etc. Please contact us for further details.
