At Timeout Bhutan Travel, we invite you to discover why your next adventure awaits in this enchanting Himalayan kingdom.
Nestled amidst the towering peaks of the Eastern Himalayas, Bhutan is a land of breathtaking beauty and cultural richness. From the verdant valleys of Paro and Punakha to the rugged terrain of Bumthang and the remote wilderness of Gangtey, every corner of Bhutan offers a unique and captivating experience for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the wonders of the natural world.
But Bhutan is more than just stunning scenery; it’s a land steeped in spirituality and tradition. From the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery perched precariously on a cliffside to the ancient fortresses, or dzongs, that dot the landscape, Bhutan’s cultural heritage is as awe-inspiring as its natural beauty. Explore the bustling markets of Thimphu, where colorful handicrafts and aromatic spices beckon, or witness the centuries-old rituals and festivals that celebrate Bhutanese identity and resilience.
At Timeout Bhutan Travel, we believe that the true essence of Bhutan lies not only in its landscapes and landmarks but in the warmth and hospitality of its people.

And let’s not forget the philosophy that sets Bhutan apart from other destinations: Gross National Happiness. In Bhutan, happiness isn’t measured by material wealth or economic prosperity but by the well-being and contentment of its people. As you explore this magical kingdom, you’ll discover that the pursuit of happiness isn’t just a goal but a way of life, woven into the fabric of Bhutanese society.
