The following study tour is a pilot designed in partnership with Bhutan Tours and Travels. This company has been in business since the 1970's and provides highly personalized service. The study tour described here will be offered again in the spring and fall. Variations will include the seasonal festivals and the volunteer opportunities we offer.

Travel to Bhutan is strictly regulated in order to limit the potentially harmful impact that great numbers of travelers may have on the environment and culture. You will find yourself in a country governed by a vision of Gross National Happiness, an index that measures success, not by what is produced, but by the fulfillment one feels when life is well lived. Experience the culture, society, people and natural beauty of this stunning and peaceful Buddhist nation.

Is this tour appropriate for me?

Elevation in Bhutan is around 8,000 feet above sea level. Although not a trek, this is a physically active trip with optional hikes and sightseeing that requires stairs and terrain with uneven footing. Accommodations are in comfortable first class hotels.
