Summary of the Tour

The Kingdom of Bhutan has remained relatively isolated from western influence, having only opened its doors to tourism in 1974, enabling it to maintain its strong Buddhist heritage. It is a landlocked country comprised of mountains and forest and offering all the beauties of the Himalayas. The Bhutanese people have travelled through their country on foot for centuries (maybe their secret of happiness?!), developing many routes through valleys and over passes. Bhutan receives less than 1000 trekkers each year, meaning that you will be well looked after, in the 'The Land of the Thunder Dragon'.
