Adventure & Amusements
Your next big adventure — solitude, purpose and the last Shangri-La.
Plan Your AdventureAdventure & Amusements
Seek More Than a Vacation — Find Bhutan
Authentic, theme-based festivals and veritable adventures for ardent travellers.
Bhutan's arresting landscapes alone would satisfy any ardent traveller — but this tiny nation offers more than mountains. It offers connection. To add vigour and meaning to your escape, we weave in select, experiential theme-based festivals that celebrate "regional diversity," echoing James Hilton's Last Shangri-La in a modern setting.
Escape the crowds and immerse yourself in a unique ecosystem of engaging cultural elements — without being cut off from the world. Put the "high" back in "highlights" as you delve into Bhutan's far northern pristine pockets: stunning scenery, a rare glimpse into the arcane lifestyle of ethnic communities, and an adventure holiday of the highest caliber with very few foreign excursionists around. Let yourself be challenged and changed — if you seek solitude and adventure with purpose, we share your passion.
