This 11 days Magical Bhutan tour program is a combination of Western and Central Bhutan and the best that Bhutan has to offer. Western Bhutan is the heartland of the Drukpa people, home to the only airport, capital of Bhutan, oldest and most spectacular dzongs in the Kingdom. Whereas Central Bhutan is believed to be the first part of Bhutan to have been inhabited, with evidence of prehistoric settlements – there is great variety of people, architecture and scenery to be explored.

One of the highlights of the trip is visiting the famous Taktsang Monastery which is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Buddhists. The view of Taktsang Monastery built in the cliff is an amazing sight. We will then take a tour to Phobjikha Valley, a broad glacial valley on the flanks of the Black Mountains, Phobjikha with its gentle slope is a place of astonishing beauty described as “the most beautiful valley in the most beautiful country of the Himalayas. Also this valley is a home for rare and beautiful black-necked cranes. Bumthang is another great site that we are going to visit during our 11 days Magical Bhutan tour. It is a magical region of saints and treasure-seekers, great demon-subduing struggles and fabulous miracles, rich with relics from the visits of Guru Rinpoche and Pema Lingma.
