The Eastern Bhutan tour offers a profound and multifaceted travel experience. It is a journey through Bhutan's history, culture, and natural beauty, with every moment promising a new revelation.
For a niche travel enthusiast who often seeks to embark on the road less traveled, the Eastern districts of Trashiyangtse , Trashigang, and Mongar, located right in the far end of Bhutan's Himalayas along with brief stop at the valley of Thimphu, Paro , Punakha, Gangtey and Bumthang , could prove an excellent bargain, especially for those wishing to get the best of the country.
Often termed as gateways to eastern Bhutan, these districts have a distinct identity of their own, characterized by their diverse culture and linguistic traditions. From the magnificent dzongs (fortresses) and age-old monasteries to the unique local festivals and cuisines, central Bhutan is a kaleidoscope of colors, picture-perfect mountain settings, and breathtaking vistas that truly stand out as an offbeat destination in this Himalayan Kingdom.
This Bhutan Cultural Tour takes you to the far eastern region of Bhutan. Discover ancient nomadic village of Merak frozen in time with spectacular views and authentic Bhutanese architecture; .
It will be an adventurous tour with winding roads and forests. When you reach the further eastern part of Bhutan, you will see the road fall in a long series of bends, through dark pine forests, wild green pastures, and a variety of fruit orchards, some gushing waterfalls all surrounded by the stunning blend of wildflowers and constantly changing vegetation. While traveling through the six districts you can see the changes in the socio-cultural life of the Bhutanese people. You will also visit important historical and cultural places of interest in this Bhutan Cultural Tour.

Bhutan itself is a special place. However you need someone to help you prepare your trip, someone to drive you around and someone to guide you and explain things to you. Thinley, Rinchen and Phurba were all great. Kind, flexible - giving hundred percent to accommodate or help us. Just an example of Genuine Kindness : after the hike to the Tiger Nest, Rinchen was waiting for us with milk-tea (that she prepared) and biscuits.
We had a packed itinerary and we managed to do everything. I highly recommend Bhutan Best Inbound tour!

Happiness is in our hearts 💕
Under auspicious Buddhist Gods we have visited such a beautiful and peaceful country. We were very impressed by Jambay Lhakhang in Bumthang District and Kichu Lhakhang in Paro.
It was heart touching the festival in Tamshing Lhakhang where the actors wore a mask from 15 th century.
We visited Jakar Dzong, Burning Lake , Punakha Dzong, Taktsang Monastery, Paro Dzong, Thimphu Dzong ( where we saw the second festival) and many others Chorten.
Finally at Kichu Monastery we were blessed by his Holiness Namkhai Nyingpo Rinpoche.
All was possible because of Thinley, Phurba Tshering our guide and Rinchen our driver.
We hope our happiness will last our entire life.

Me and my boyfriend used Bhutan Inbound Tour based on the recommendation from our friend who used their service when they came to Bhutan last year.
Both of us were interested to see the real Bhutan, Bhutanese people and wanted to witness the way they live. Their concept of GNH really intrigued me. Was wondering how people measure happiness??
We communicated with Ms Geeta. She was prompt in her reply and very accommodating to our request. She suggested if you really want to see real Bhutan then you should try Eastern Bhutan Tour. She tailored our vacation in such a way that within our 10night stay in Bhutan we could visit Eastern Bhutan, visit some schools in some remote areas , we also tried out one night monastic stay , some homestay . . . . Got an authentic feel of medieval time.
To top it up we had a wonderful guide and driver; humble, attentive but not intrusive.
All in all had an amazing time. Thank you Ms Geeta for your Eastern Bhutan Tour suggestion and thank you Mr. Namgey and our driver Mr Jigme for giving us a wonderful company throughout the tour.
Now I understand why Bhutan measures their progress through Happiness.
