This 13-day odyssey takes you deep into Bhutan's heart — from postcard valleys to high Himalayan camps — culminating in the vibrant Jomolhari Mountain Festival. Expect traditions beyond the guidebook: painting in craft school, mailing your own postcards, hoisting prayer flags at dawn, and savouring farm-to-table meals in homesteads. Boutique stays, private guided treks, and wellness touches woven in make this more than a hike — it's a soulful journey.
