Bhutan Travel Guide

Bhutan is a country with a difference, where buying cigarettes is illegal, where the rice is red and where chillies aren’t just a seasoning but the entire dish. It’s also a very Buddhist land with men wearing tunics to work and where happiness is sought after in its simplest form. Tourism in Bhutan is also very unique. Visitors famously have to pay a minimum of USD$200 per day, making it one of the world’s most expensive countries to visit, but this fee is all-inclusive, you don’t have to travel in a group and you can arrange your own itinerary. What you won’t find in Bhutan is backpacker-style community. This is Nepal for the jet setters.

As far as tourist attractions, there are early Buddhist sites in the cultural heartland of Bumthang Dzongkhag and the undisturbed Tibetan style culture that sets Bhutan aside as the last of the great Himalayan kingdoms. There are also the textiles, outrageous trekking as well as the stunning flora and fauna of Phobjika Valley. Trashigang is an interesting town and also useful for launching into a trip in Eastern Bhutan for further exploring.
