Tour Overview

Nestled in the magnificent Himalayas, between India and Tibet, lies the seemingly timeless Kingdom of Bhutan.  A magical country steeped in tradition, folklore and deep-seated Buddhist beliefs, Bhutan has in recent years opened her borders to travelers and naturalists. Enjoy huge tracts of Himalayan forest, snow-capped mountain ranges and the often approachable and exceptional wildlife, and experience the traditional culture this country has to offer with visits to monasteries and temples.

We will experience some of the finest birding in the Himalayas!  We will likely see over 250 species as we search for Satyr Tragopan, Ward’s Trogon, Rufous-necked Hornbill, Himalayan Monal, Ibisbill, Wallcreeper and Beautiful Nuthatch, as well as, many mammals and exquisite flowers.

An outstanding Bhutan birding tour to an outstanding birding destination that still maintains fascinating traditional practices and beliefs.
