Trekking and hiking tours are particularly popular thanks to incredible sights like the Tiger’s Nest Monastery, just north of Paro. Meanwhile, the capital of Thimpu has many Buddhist sites, offering great city sightseeing and day tours and excursions for the whole family. Check our top tours to Bhutan below.

Bhutan Highlight

What makes Bhutan unique compared to other destinations in Asia?

Bhutan, often called the Last Shangri-La, is known for its deep spiritual roots, respect for tradition, and commitment to sustainability. Guided by Gross National Happiness, the country measures progress by the well-being of its people, shaping policies that preserve culture and protect nature. The landscapes range from fertile valleys to snow-capped Himalayan peaks, dotted with sacred monasteries and temples. Bhutanese people honor traditions through national dress and vibrant festivals like Paro Tsechu. Tourism follows a high-value, low-volume approach, offering meaningful experiences. With over 70% forest cover and a carbon-negative footprint, Bhutan exemplifies harmony between nature, culture, and human happiness.

Bhutan's Hidden Gem

One lesser-known, off-the-beaten-path destination in Bhutan and why is it special?

A wonderful lesser-known, off-the-beaten-path destination in Bhutan, Bumthang, located in central Bhutan, is a hidden gem and the country’s spiritual heartland. It is home to ancient temples and monasteries like Jambay and Kurje Lhakhang, closely linked to Guru Rinpoche. The region’s four valleys — Chokhor, Tang, Ura, and Choekhor — feature rolling hills, apple orchards, rivers, and pine forests, ideal for hiking and nature walks. Bumthang preserves rich cultural traditions, from vibrant tsechus to traditional weaving and unique village architecture. Less touristy than Paro or Thimphu, it offers a peaceful, immersive experience and serves as a gateway for treks into remote mountains and valleys.

What are some key cultural insights you think travelers should know before arriving in Bhutan?

Travelers to Bhutan should understand that Buddhism deeply shapes daily life, so respect monasteries, temples, and sacred sites by dressing modestly, removing shoes, and keeping a quiet demeanor. Modesty is expected in rural areas, and honoring the national dress — Gho for men, Kira for women — is appreciated. Greetings often involve a nod, slight bow, or palms pressed together, with minimal public physical contact. Festivals (tsechus) blend music, dance, and devotion, while environmental care and social harmony are highly valued. Life moves at a gentle pace, so patience is key. Small tips or gifts for hosts are warmly received.

Tips for Bhutan Travel

Are there any common mistakes travelers make when visiting Bhutan that they could avoid?

1. Common mistakes travelers make in Bhutan include underestimating altitude—Thimphu and Paro sit over 2,200 m—so take it slow, stay hydrated, and avoid heavy alcohol. 2. Not respecting dress codes at temples or dzongs, touching monks or sacred objects, and pointing at religious symbols can offend. 3. Overpacking activities ignores slow roads and remote villages; plan a relaxed itinerary. 4. Forgetting cash for rural areas, expecting fast internet, or coming unprepared for sudden weather changes can cause inconvenience. 5. Finally, skipping local experiences limits understanding; staying in homestays at least for a night, tasting traditional food, and exploring villages provides a richer, more authentic Bhutanese experience.

Honest insights from past guests on our Bhutan tours

Anonymous | Traveled in April

amazing trek in Bhutan, couldn't have asked for more - everything was managed well by World Expeditions and the Bhutan ground operator. We had a very experienced guide and it was clearly notable the difference in standard between our group and the group from another company travelling in parallel with us.

Wonderful time in Bhutan Stunning mountainous scenery and fascinating cultural place to visit. We were lucky enough to be in Paro for their annual Festival. Our Druk Path trek was challenging at times but made comfortable and safe by our fabulous guide Lhab and his attentive crew. The food is excellent. The other travelers in our group were so much fun . We travelled on for another 6 days to central Bhutan with our excellent guide Singye and Driver Tanjin and would highly recommend exploring this part of Bhutan

The Druk Path with our guide Lhab was wonderful, and we were also lucky enough to see the Paro Festival during our trip. This was a great combination of hiking and Bhutan cultural experiences and all of it was great.

We recently returned from the Druk Path adventure in stunning Bhutan. It was my first time travelling with WE as for decades, I've organised all my own independent travel. For Bhutan, this simply wasn't an option, particularly given the itinerary included a multi-day high altitude trek, and we weren't disappointed. From the moment our Bhutanese host and guide met us at the airport to the final farewell, everything was well organised and paced, and nothing was too much trouble. The trek itself was well supported, and our experience attending the famed annual Paro Teschu and magnificent Punakha Zhong either side of the trek were highlights. Recommended!

A truely wonderful experience on so many levels. I signed up for the physical challenge of the trekking and the high passes along with the scenery and isolation but in end it was so much more. Very personalised insights into the culture, society and history. Thoughtful discussions about Buddhism as we saw this being practiced first hand in the remote holy places. I got a sense of a World yet to be touched by the nasty sides of globalism. The chief guide was fantastic, a true gentleman and the camp staff and food was amazing for the high altitude and remote context. This is not though an easy walk and needs to be respected as such.

I have just completed the Bhutan High trails via Laya trip and would recommend this trip by World Expeditions without reservation. We happened to have near perfect weather, but our guide was unbelievably good: astute, sensitive, knowledgeable and passionate about his country. The views were spectacular,and the exposure to culture, village life, and Buddhist ways was a point of difference from other similar treks I have done (Huayhuash, Toubkal, Ladakh). The usual pleasures were daily highlights - great food, a hot drink at daybreak, and twice daily hot washing water. It was cold at night. We were all treated to hot water bottles. Small treats, but valuable a sub zero temperatures.
