Bhutan

Bhutan is a stunning travel destination, steeped in Buddhist culture, and the only country in the world [run by monks and] committed to its people’s Gross National Happiness.

Bhutan was isolated from the outside world by the Himalayas for centuries, and only opened its borders to tourists in the 1970s. Numbers are still limited, and thanks to sensitive government conservation, you’ll find Bhutan wonderfully pristine. In a country where supermarket chains aren’t allowed, and most people wear national dress, it can feel like stepping back in time!

You’ll discover breathtaking ancient fortresses, monasteries and temples, outstanding natural beauty, and wonderfully friendly people. Bhutan is also a magnet for wildlife lovers, as one of just ten biodiversity hotspots in the world.

Retreat Travel is privileged to work with an official Bhutanese travel company to offer tours and trekking holidays in this amazing country.
