Almost every journey we run is designed from scratch around the people taking it. Our sample journeys are only starting points – most travellers change something, and many ask us to begin with a blank page.
Your own guide and driver
Licensed Bhutanese guides, chosen for you – and Ugyen himself on many journeys.
Your dates
Travel when you like. If you’d like to see a particular festival, we’ll plan around the lunar calendar.
Your pace
Early starts for photographers, slow mornings for others. Long hikes or none at all.
Your kind of stay
Farm stays and heritage houses, boutique lodges, or Bhutan’s finest resorts.
Always included
What every journey includes
- Your own licensed Bhutanese guide and driver throughout

Booking
Simple to book
When your plan feels right, a deposit of US$1,000 confirms your journey. The rest of the payment schedule is agreed with you and set out in your proposal, and we pay the Sustainable Development Fee and arrange your visa on your behalf.
