Discover The Cultural And Linguistic Diversity Of Bhutan On A Sixteen Day Grand Expedition
Embark on an extraordinary sixteen day journey across Bhutan, traveling from the remote alpine villages of the east to the bustling capital in the west. This comprehensive tour provides deep insights into the food, cultural, and linguistic diversity of a small kingdom with a population of less than eight hundred thousand. With approximately twenty languages spoken throughout the country, participants will encounter communities speaking seven distinct languages, offering a rare glimpse into the complex social fabric of this Himalayan nation.
The itinerary spans ten districts, covering the eastern regions of Trashigang, Trashiyangtse, Mongar, and Lhuentse; the central districts of Bumthang and Trongsa; and the western districts of Wangdue Phodrang, Punakha, Thimphu, and Paro. Throughout this vast route, you will traverse stunning landscapes dotted with secluded, ornate temples and pristine environments rich in biodiversity. The journey is carefully curated to ensure you experience the full spectrum of Bhutanese geography, from high-altitude mountain passes to lush, verdant valleys filled with unique flora.
A highlight of the trip is a two-night stay in the remote village of Merak, located in the Trashigang district. Opened to tourism only in 2010, Merak and its neighboring village Sakteng have been preserved with great caution to safeguard their unique customs and traditional way of life. Living among the local community provides an unparalleled opportunity to understand their distinct culture, which remains largely isolated from the influences of the modern world, making it a truly authentic and humbling experience.
This grand expedition is designed for travelers who seek a profound connection with the places they visit. By exploring both the well-known landmarks and the hidden corners of the country, you will gain a holistic view of Bhutan's heritage. From the architectural marvels of ancient dzongs to the quiet beauty of pristine alpine meadows, this sixteen day adventure is a testament to the enduring spirit and cultural richness of the Kingdom of Bhutan, ensuring memories that will last a lifetime.

Customer Reviews
Our Bhutan journey from 2nd–10th December was beautifully organized by Bhutan Travel Center, and it turned out to be a truly memorable family holiday. We visited the scenic valleys of Paro, Punakha, Phobjikha, and Haa, each offering its own unique charm and breathtaking views. The entire trip was smooth and stress-free, with excellent hotel selections and very comfortable transportation. Our driver, Phuba, was outstanding—always punctual, careful, and friendly, making every journey pleasant and safe. Our guide, Sonam, was an amazing person whose knowledge, warmth, and professionalism added great value to our experience. From beginning to end, we felt well supported and cared for by the team. Overall, it was an enriching and unforgettable Bhutan experience. We highly recommend Bhutan Travel Center to anyone planning a visit to Bhutan—they are dependable, friendly, and truly one of the finest travel agencies in the country.
We hired Bhutan Travel Center for our group of 12 visiting Bhutan as a part of a trip to India, Bhutan, and Bangladesh. Mr. Sharma had excellent communication from the very beginning and gave us a custom 3-day itinerary. Included in the price, was the SDF and Bhutan Visa, which was incredibly helpful. Once we sent him our passport details, our visas were issued. We were met at the airport in Paro and taken to all of the main highlights in the area. All meals and hotels were included in our package, and they were of good quality. The highlight was visiting a national festival near Thimphu, where we were lucky enough to meet the queen and several other government officials! Hiking the Tiger's Nest was also amazing. Would definitely recommend this company!
This was one of the best tour experiences we have ever had. A big thanks to Kinley, Tshering and P Sharma for making our trip so comfortable. Our guide Kinley and our driver Tshering became almost like family during the week we spent in Bhutan. They were excellent with our kids and very respectful toward our elderly parents. They were funny, knowledgeable, humorous and genuinely caring throughout the trip. For anyone planning to visit Bhutan, I strongly recommend Bhutan Travel Centre. Having travelled to more than 30 countries, I can confidently say that the service offered by this team is truly world class.
