Explore Bhutan—The Land Of Nature And Adventure!

Bhutan, the last kingdom on the Himalayan fringes, is every traveller’s dream escape from the hustle of urban life. With spirituality slow-dancing on the mystic hills and verdant trails inviting you for new adventures, Bhutan translates to checking a flock of must-do things off your bucket list. And we suggest you do a little bit of everything that the Land of Dragon has to offer.

Trek to the Taktsang Goemba (Tiger’s Nest)

Paro Taktsang, famously known as the Tiger’s Nest, is a Buddhist monastery attracting pilgrims from all across the globe. It hosts four temples orchestrated on a cliff at the height of 900m from the ground, oozing architectural aesthetics. Trekking to this iconic place may test your patience at best, but the sheer thrill of reaching the end will make it worthwhile.

Explore Chele La Pass

Even if you don’t call yourself a seasoned adventurer, you would not want to miss the unforgettable experience of traversing the mysterious, majestic swathes of Chele La Pass. A 2-hour drive from Paro, Chele La is the highest motorable pass in Bhutan offering the enchantments of Himalayan peaks. A punch of adventure and a buffet of scenic views, including Mt. Jhomolari and Tsherimgang mountains, make this pass a gateway to adrenaline rush.

Say Yes to Exciting Water Sports

Whether you are a novice or someone who’s always on the lookout for a riveting activity, keep a day dedicated to indulging in water sports. Apart from spiritual heritage and nature’s snapshots, adventure sports are what the country compels every traveller to try. Kayaking in Wang Chhu or river rafting in Pho Chhu is an absolute delight, so do go for it.

Go for Rock Climbing

The unpredictable, rugged cliffs in Bhutan effortlessly lure rock climbers into at least one attempt. But it is not just those ever-so-giddy hills but also the sweeping views of the Himalayan ranges that make this adventure activity a magical one. So, put on your safety gear and spruce up your entire trip.

Relax at Tshachus

When you sense a hunch of lethargy, make no delay in booking yourself a hot water bath. Spend a few hours in the embrace of a therapeutic bath at Tshachus, the most popular destination for the much-coveted activity in the country. You can count on this sanctuary of hot springs when your body needs a mindful refuel and your eyes, a captivating view.

Enjoy Bird Watching

After snow and spirituality, snuggle up to birding while you are in Bhutan. The country is home to rare bird species, serving vibrant visual treats to nature enthusiasts. From Phobjikha Valley and Trongsa to Bumthang and Thimphu, the list of places for bird-watching in the country is a pretty good one. Lace up your boots, get your glasses on, and spot bee-eaters, Warblers, Blyth's Kingfisher, Flycatchers, and oh, what not!

Embark on a Retail Therapy

Your trip to Bhutan would be incomplete without splurging a little on an ensemble of souvenirs the local shops have to offer. Paro and Thimphu are the favourite peripheries where shopping is indeed in the air! Step into this bustling arrangement and you will find yourself appreciating the craftsmanship of local artisans already.
