Welcome!

We are Shangri-La Bhutan, an all-Bhutanese Travel, Tours & Trekking Company staffed by some of the best trained, most experienced, guides, drivers and assistants in the kingdom. We offer you an unforgettable stay in this tiny nation of little over 600,000 people, nestled amidst the jagged saw-tooth of the highest mountains in the world, and described by one New York Times Correspondent as the "Last Bastion of Mahayana Buddhism".

The tourist tariffs in the kingdom are uniformly applied and monitored in the kingdom by the Tourism Authority of Bhutan. So, tour operators in Bhutan should generally offer the same price.

We would like to venture, however, that Shangri-La Bhutan offers the most gracious and reliable services in Bhutan. It is the avowed policy of our company to provide the best value for money and the best possible travel and sightseeing service in the kingdom.
 
We specialize in a wide range of tours tailored to suit the individual needs of seasoned as well as first-time travelers of all ages.

Our tour packages include:

• Vibrant and colorful Buddhist Ceremonies and Festivals
• Special Nature and Botanical Trails
• Bhutan for Academia and Culture buffs
• Cycling/Mountain Biking
• Bird Watching
• Day Hikes and long Treks
• River Rafting
• Excursions
• Filming Tours
• Trout Fishing
• and Off-beat Adventures

Although there are one or two Big, Expensive Resorts like Aman in Bhutan, we accommodate our clients in a very nice, homey and very comfortable traditional Bhutanese hotels with attached bath and toilets with hot and cold water running 24-hours. The staff of the hotels we book for you will care for you in the best traditions of Himalayan hospitality, and the Bhutanese cuisine they will serve is varied, wholesome and stimulating (last is an understatement!). For the more conventional palate, general continental food is also available.

High mountain roads cutting switchback swathes across sheer cliffs constitute the main mode of travel within the country. For the comfort and safety of our guests, Shangri-La Bhutan maintains a very reliable and well-maintained fleet of Toyota Coaster Buses and Four-Wheel Drives.

If the travellers are seeking for five star comfort, exciting nightlife and so on then Bhutan is not the right destination. On the other-hand, if someone is looking for a real peaceful place, where past is still the present, Buddhism a way of life, beautiful nature, clean environment, diverse flora & fauna, rich culture & tradition, and so on then Bhutan is the right place to visit.

We will look forward to be at your service and welcome you to Bhutan soon.  As we say in Bhutan for all auspicious beginnings, Tashi Delek!
