Tour Overview
Delve deeper into Bhutan's extraordinary heritage on this 7-day journey that extends beyond the classic western circuit into Wangdue Phodrang, one of Bhutan's oldest and most storied districts.
Stay in a traditional farmhouse for an authentic taste of village life, witness Bhutan's national sport — archery — in the open fields of Punakha, and discover the pristine Phobjikha glacial valley, where hundreds of endangered Black-Necked Cranes overwinter each year.
