Bhutan: Inside the Dragon Kingdom

Small Group Trip
Largely isolated from the outside world for centuries, closed off to visitors until three decades ago, Bhutan is one of the world’s most captivating destinations. On this definitive itinerary, explore its main fortresses, make the pilgrimage to iconic Taktshang Monastery, walk through remote villages, and delve into the philosophical underpinnings of Mahayana Buddhism.


This Group Trip features
• Travel to remote central Bhutan, the destination for only 20% of Bhutan’s annual 17,000 visitors
• Tour leadership by an expert on Bhutanese culture
• The dazzling Jakar (fall) or Ura (spring) Festival
• Make the pilgrimage to iconic Taktshang Monastery
• Receive Asia Transpacific Journeys' famously detailed information and personalized service with every aspect of this trip, from beginning until end
