Step away from Bhutan’s well-trodden trails and journey deep into the untouched heart of the kingdom—Eastern Bhutan, where ancient traditions, hidden valleys, and enduring cultures await. This immersive 14-day itinerary is designed for curious travellers seeking authentic cultural encounters, spectacular landscapes, and rare experiences far from the mainstream.
Starting in western Bhutan with highlights in Thimphu and Punakha, the journey gradually transitions eastward, uncovering the distinct heritage of the eastern dzongkhags (districts). Explore sacred monasteries in Bumthang, marvel at the weaving mastery in Lhuntse’s Khoma village, and connect with semi-nomadic Brokpa communities in Merak. You'll visit sacred sites like Gom Kora and Chorten Kora, cross dramatic high mountain passes, and witness how centuries-old customs are still vibrantly alive.
With scenic drives through remote valleys, homestay visits, and local interactions, this is not just a tour—it’s an invitation into Bhutan’s soul. For travellers who value authenticity, cultural richness, and meaningful moments, Eastern Bhutan offers an unforgettable path less travelled.
