About Bhutan & Us

Your local gateway to the Land of the Thunder Dragon. We create authentic, responsible journeys through Bhutan's heart and history.

Bhutan: The Land of the Thunder Dragon

Discover the world’s most unique kingdom, preserved by a commitment to well-being and environmental harmony.

As the world’s first and only carbon-negative country, over 70% of Bhutan remains under forest cover, a constitutional mandate that has preserved its pristine wilderness and unparalleled biodiversity.

The Last Shangri-La

Tucked high in the Eastern Himalayas, the Kingdom of Bhutan, or Druk Yul (Land of the Thunder Dragon), is unlike any other country on earth. It is a land where ancient traditions flourish alongside a mindful approach to modern progress, famously guided by the philosophy of Gross National Happiness (GNH).

Explore sacred monasteries, witness vibrant festivals, and connect with a resilient culture where every journey is both authentic and deeply memorable.
