Suggested Itineraries

Bhutan Yogi Travels is here to guide and support your journey into Bhutan.

You might prefer to travel in a group or with friends or rather keep your

own company, we are here to make it happen.

You have the choice from set itineraries to your own preferred destinations.

You can also choose to combine culturally focused tours with some trekking.

The minimum 3 star hotel included is for most travellers comfortable and

adequate. However, if you are yearning to treat yourself with some more

luxury along the way you have the option of 4 and 5 star hotels.

If on the other hand you are keen to see and experience for yourself

Bhutanese hospitality, why not spend a day or more at a farm-stay.
