Tours to Bhutan

Welcome to Bhutan – a kingdom unlike anywhere else, there happiness is measured not by wealth but by well-being.

Here, ancient monasteries cling to cliffsides, prayer flags flutter in the mountain breeze and monks in saffron robes walk silently through centuries-old courtyards. From the vibrant valleys of Paro to the spiritual heart of Thimphu, Bhutan invites you to slow down, breathe deeply and connect with something timeless.

Join us as we explore a culture shaped by compassion, tradition and a deep reverence for nature, exploring majestic dzongs and sacred temples. Discover the stories behind Bhutan’s unique philosophy of Gross National Happiness and meet local artisans, share traditional farmhouse meals and witness rituals unchanged for generations.

Whether you’re drawn in the dramatic Himalayan landscapes, the rich spiritual heritage or simply want to experience a slower, more meaningful way of life – Bhutan has a rare kind of magic. Experience it for yourself with Riviera Travel.

Yvonne Gillot - Long Haul product Manager

"We're thrilled to introduce our new holiday to Bhutan. This destination hasn’t been open to a large number of tourists for a few years, so its not a well known destination. But the people, culture and food are great and it has so much to offer..I’m excited for our guests to experience that for themselves.

Highlights for me include the Tigers Nest Monastery, it has an impressive looking view from the valley, it's a bit of a hike, but the reward at the end is incredible. You must try the Momos in Bhutan - it’s a traditional steamed dumpling filled with either meat, cheese or vegetables and I couldn’t get enough of them!'"

Interesting fact: 75% of the population follow Buddhism and the remaining 25% isHindu. You get a fascinating insight into Buddhism when visiting the temples andmonasteries, which is really interesting.
