Beautiful Bhutan Holidays

Natural beauty and sacred monuments await you on a Bhutan holiday in the ‘Land of Thunder Dragons’. Bhutan only opened its doors to tourists in 1974, and limits the amount of tourists with a daily travellers fee. This tiny country has a reputation for being the happiest in the world, measuring its progress with Gross National Happiness and the Bhutanese are passionate about conserving of the environment. There are also no traffic lights and locals proudly wear their characteristic national dress.

Covered in 90 percent of forest, you’ll be entranced by mystical mountains, rugged landscapes and beautiful valleys in the “Switzerland of Asia”. Nestled in the peaks are numerous sacred Buddhist monasteries to discover, including Bhutan’s famous clifftop Tiger’s Nest. This charming nation is fairly small and can be explored in around 5 days, making it an excellent multicentre holiday destination.
