Nestled against the 8000 meter giants of the Himalayas, lies a land that has remained closed to foreigners for thousands of years. Recently, Bhutan has opened its doors but has kept its mystic flavor and cultural identity and is one of the foremost destinations in the world for both ethical and environmentally friendly travel. Bhutan has incredible pristine mountain views, tranquil farmlands, and unique Buddhist traditions. These are only accessible by a select few travelers every year. On our unique Elevated Trips experience to Bhutan, you can experience every facet of this breathtaking country. Travel to Thimphu, Bhutan’s Tibetan Buddhist temple-dotted capital, taking with monks in ancient monasteries. Continue into the tranquil countryside to ascend the winding steps of the legendary Tiger's Nest Monastery, precariously hanging on a sheer cliff face 3,000 feet above the valley floor. However you decide to explore Bhutan, you can travel with confidence knowing that Elevated Trips supports only locally Bhutanese guides, drivers, and hotels and uses its income to invest in and improve communities across the Himalaya.
