If happiness were a currency, Bhutan would undoubtedly rank among the wealthiest nations on Earth. It's no surprise given that Bhutan stands as the world's sole carbon-negative country—a remarkable achievement applauded by SevenTravel. As you step onto the fertile soil of Bhutan's capital, Thimphu, you'll immediately sense the purity of the air, redolent with the scent of fresh pine.
Embarking on one of our luxurious journeys to Bhutan, you'll spend several days immersing yourself in the heart of the city, where Buddhism is intricately woven into the tapestry of Bhutanese culture. Your exploration will take you from witnessing the profound studies of monks at the Pangrizampa Astrology Institute to visiting the majestic Trashi Chho Dzong, one of the country's most sacred Buddhist forts.
Before bidding farewell to Thimphu and continuing your enriching odyssey, there's nothing quite like nourishing the soul with an outdoor yoga session, especially beneath the towering bronze Buddha statue. After finding your inner peace, you'll venture into the pristine Phobjikha Valley, where Buddhist influences permeate every corner, creating a truly enchanting atmosphere. Here, you'll encounter over a hundred chortens, or monuments, at the Dochula Pass before partaking in a serene moment of lighting a butter lamp at Gangtey Goenpa, a secluded hillside monastery dating back to the seventeenth century. Yet, the Phobijkha Valley's untouched Bhutanese countryside beckons exploration. Lace up your shoes and explore its hiking trails, where you may spot rare black-necked cranes, wild boar, and sambar deer.
