When is the best time to visit Bhutan?
This is one of the most frequently asked question but the answer is not as simple as it should be. Most visitors come to Bhutan during the prime festival season in March/April and in Oct/Nov, supposedly the best time to visit Bhutan. Too often there is too many visitors during this short period and the true charm of travelling Bhutan is lost. As December approaches around the corner, we would like to show you the charm and perks of travelling during these lean periods. For more details visit..... Merak & Sakten Trek:
With each passing day, the trek is coming closer. And with the amount of emails we have been receiving, it transpires that the guests are as excited as we are. With addition of Ugen Tshering, our CEO on this trek to Merak & Sakten this October, it provides a new dimension to it all together.

Our Horse Riding product is at the final stage and only few strokes of brush are left to give final firm shape and to launch and propel. We are very excited about it and give us a profound sense of accomplishment as we are the pioneer in Bhutan in regards to Horse Riding products.

Till next month..... travel safe!!!!
