This is our most accessible Bhutan journey, offering a shorter, well-paced introduction to the valleys, monasteries and mountain landscapes of Bhutan, combined with a restorative retreat phase in Nepal.
You’ll travel through Paro, Punakha and Thimphu, experiencing a balance of sacred sites, cultural encounters and time in nature, before continuing into Nepal for rest and integration at Namo Buddha.
The journey begins in Kathmandu, continues into Bhutan for the main cultural experience, and concludes with a dedicated retreat phase in Nepal before returning to Kathmandu for departure.
