Bhutan By Road

A Road trip to Ancient palaces, timeless temples, gravity-defying monasteries, majestic mountains, long-held traditions and an endless parade of jaw-dropping landscapes. This is what you can expect from a holiday to the tiny Kingdom of Bhutan. Bhutan is one of the last unspoilt corners of Asia. Almost 70 per cent of the country is blanketed in thick forest and there are high plateaux filled with wildflowers. It supports a number of elusive species of flora and fauna such as blue poppies, black-necked cranes and snow leopards that prowl the high slopes of the Himalayas. Half the world's population of white-bellied herons live in Bhutan. Join the expedition and explore bhutan by road.

Why you'll love this Self Drive Expedition

It's a remote Buddhist stronghold of soaring, Himalayan peaks; tranquil countryside dotted with traditional farmhouses, monasteries and temples, claret-robed monks, fluttering prayer flags; and fast flowing slate-coloured rivers. The Bhutanese call it Druk Yul or "Land of the Thunder Dragon" in their native tongue, Dzongkha. Breath-taking mountain scenes continue in Thimphu, Bhutan’s capital, where the star attraction is the mighty Trashi Chhoe Dzong with its striking red-and-gold triple-tiered roofs. In Punakha, you will be shown some of Bhutan’s most celebrated landscapes and historic sites, including the imposing Punakha Dzong, before driving through rich forests of bamboo and oak to the country’s spiritual heart – Bumthang. You’ll finish back in Paro, and what better way to end your trip than by climbing to the legendary Tiger’s Nest – perhaps the most famous monastery of all.
