The blue poppy is often associated with mystique, rarity, and beauty. Its distinctive bluish purple color is considered unique among other species of poppies, which are typically known for their red, orange, yellow, or pink hues. In some Himalayan cultures, it symbolizes calmness, peace, or even spiritual enlightenment. Similarly, for Bhutan, the Blue Poppy signifies the pursuit of happiness, compassion, purity, friendship, harmony, respect for environment, peace, and finding happiness in simplest of things.
The country's commitment to preserving its cultural heritage, its pristine natural environment, and its focus on well-being and sustainable development make it a truly exceptional destination worth exploring.
Paro International Airport (PBH) is one of the most beautiful airports in the world, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Himalayan mountains. It serves as the gateway to Bhutan, one of the most peaceful and isolated countries in the world, and is a vital connection for tourists and locals alike.
Bhutan has four distinct seasons, each season has its own attribute and charm. Our small Kingdom is an year-round destination therefore it is entirely up to you to decide on your travel period that befits your schedule and convenience.
Both Gangtey/Phobjikha are famed for its picturesque scenery, monasteries, ecologically diverse wetlands, scenic walking trails, sustainable land use methods, organic agriculture and potato farming villages. A trip to enchanting Gangtey/Phobjikha also provides a good understanding on the harmonious coexistence between the people and environment.
One of the prominent architectural or cultural structures that you see just as your flight begins the approach for landing at the Paro Int’l Airport is the Paro Dzong. A visit to the fortress and a leisurely walk across the 17th century cantilever bridge is a regular feature on all our trips.
Good News! We are delighted to inform that the flights are back. With the recent news of the reopening on 23rd September 2022, flight frequency to Bhutan is gradually increasing.
For the first time in 2.5 years, Bhutan will reopen its borders on 23rd September 2022 with renewed focus on sustainability.
For over 500 years a network of trails connected various regions of the Bhutan. Besides the trail contributing in unifying the country and repelling invaders in the medieval times these routes served as a vital conduit for pilgrims, messengers, trade, scholars and travelers. For the first time in 60 years, the Trans Bhutan Trail is now re-open to travelers this year.
