Bhutan – Beyond the Ordinary

The Kingdom of Bhutan is nestled high in the Himalayas between China and India.

Come and join us on a journey to happiness with unprecedented access to the Royal Kingdom of Bhutan!
SheBuysTravel offers exclusive access to Bhutan thanks to our local partnerships. Tour participant Pamela Keene had this to say about her experience, “…our six-day itinerary took us far beyond a routine sight-seeing trip. We visited monasteries (also called fortresses), private homes, small villages and festivals. Our time traveling along the mountain ridges revealed breathtaking views of the forested panoramas laced with switchback single-lane rocky roads that took us high into the mountains and back into the fertile valleys.” Read the rest of Pamela’s story here.
Tour participant Christine Tibbetts said, “A week surrounded me with so many happy and contented Bhutanese people that I shed my western world anxieties.” Read the rest of Christine’s story here and here.
