Jakada Bhutan

The world's last Shangri-La.

Bhutan is unlike anywhere else on Earth — a tiny Himalayan kingdom that has preserved its Buddhist culture, pristine forests and traditional way of life while measuring national success by Gross National Happiness.

Hike to the Tiger's Nest monastery clinging to a sheer cliff face, attend vibrant masked dance festivals, explore ancient dzong fortresses and trek through valleys where the air is pure and the mountains seem to touch the sky.

Our Bhutan specialists design journeys that reveal the kingdom's extraordinary culture and landscapes — with luxury lodges, expert local guides and meaningful encounters at every turn.

Plan your trip

When to visit Bhutan.

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer the best weather and clearest mountain views. Spring brings rhododendrons and autumn brings festivals. Summer monsoon can obscure views.
