VENTURE FURTHER
For those who want to go deeper, we can arrange journeys into Bumthang and the eastern dzongkhags, Bhutan's most rarely visited and utterly unspoilt regions.
Bumthang - The Sacred Heartland
Often called the spiritual soul of Bhutan, Bumthang is a valley of ancient monasteries, buckwheat fields, and a pace of life that feels untouched by time.
Add 2–3 days to any itinerary
The Eastern Dzongkhags
Trashigang, Mongar, Lhuentse, and beyond. Bhutan's east is wilder, quieter, and almost entirely untouched by international tourism. For the true explorer.
Best as a 4–5 day extension
These regions are arranged entirely around you
Bumthang and the east are not standard add-ons. They require additional planning, different logistics, and a genuine love of the road less travelled. Tell us your interests and travel window, and we'll design the right extension for you.
