Bhutan Adventure Vacation Info: Where else in the world is happiness an official development goal? The last of the Buddhist Himalayan kingdoms, Bhutan’s official policies include working toward sustainable development and Gross National Happiness.Set against the backdrop of sacred mountains, this isolated kingdom offers an entirely unique travel experience. Granted permission to be some of the mere 14,000 visitors permitted in Bhutan each year, we’ve made the most of it, uncovering paths known only to villagers, gaining access to a secretive monastery, and venturing away from the cities’ luxury hotels to remote lodges that give us access to the snow-capped Himalayas.

Bhutan Adventure Vacation Highlights:

• Tour stoplight-free Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan, with the aid of your guide
• Walk to the Dzongdrakha, a village of 8 farmhouses and 4 temples, and a meditation place of Guru Rimpoche
• Hike the Punakha Valley to the Punakha dzong
• Listen to the tales of the Divine Madmonk before receiving a fertility blessing from a red-robed lama in the Phobjika Valley
• Climb up to Taktshang Lhakhang (Tiger’s Nest), set into a cliff face 800 metres above the Paro Valley
