THE HIMALAYAN COLLECTION · PRIVATE SOLO · BHUTAN
THE LAST KINGDOM
Bhutan, Privately Arranged Around Your Dates.
Six days across Thimphu, Punakha and Paro, with your own guide, private SUV and a complete itinerary prepared for one guest.
WHY BHUTAN
A KINGDOM THAT CHOSE A DIFFERENT WAY TO LIVE
Bhutan chose to measure progress differently, placing wellbeing, culture and the environment alongside economic growth.
Across Thimphu, Punakha and Paro, this private experience moves from the capital’s living institutions to river valleys, fortified dzongs and sacred sites. Your guide adds context throughout, helping you understand how Bhutan’s values are reflected in everyday life.
The final days in Paro lead to Tiger’s Nest, reached on foot above the valley, and Kyichu Lhakhang, one of Bhutan’s oldest temples.
