Bhutan Cultural Tour - Top 10 Bhutan Culture Tours 2024

Why a Cultural Tour in Bhutan? Why is Bhutan famous as the Land of Happiness? Our Bhutan Culture Tours offer a stunning immersion into the Happy Culture of this Himalayan Kingdom. It is a must-do Bhutan cultural experience to wear Bhutan's national dress (Kira & Gho) and enjoy Bhutan's national sport (Archery). Kick-off Bhutan from your travel list with a Bhutan cultural tour and visit ancient monasteries and temples that are steeped in Buddhist Culture and history. The iconic Tiger's Nest is a must-visit destination. Moreover, the visit to dzongs (fortresses) in Bhutan is not only an architectural marvel but also offers insights into the country's governance and religious practices. Bhutan offers various organic traditional Bhutanese dishes. From the famous spicy chili cheese (ema datshi) to delicious momos (dumplings), exploring the local cuisine is a major highlight of your culture tour in Bhutan. Additionally, a visit to Thimphu Takin Preserve and Gangtey Black-Necked Cranes Center will provide you with a better understanding of how the King and Buddhist culture contributes to protecting the environment and practicing responsible tourism. Contact us to start your Bhutan Cultural Tour and enjoy a fascinating glimpse into the country's unique cultures, traditions, customs, and way of life.

Why Take a Bhutan Cultural Tour?

A Tiny Buddhist Country with Unique Bhutanese Architecture. Exploring Bhutan allows you to immerse yourself in Buddhist culture and history through visits to various monasteries such as Tiger's Nest, Kyichu Lhakhang, Kurjey Lhakhang, Jambay Lhakhang, as well as iconic Dzongs like Paro Dzong, Thimphu Dzong, Punakha Dzong, Trongsa Dzong, and Jakar Dzong. Behind the brilliant architecture, you will not miss the stories about notable figures such as King Songtsen Gampo (who built 108 temples, including Kyichu Lhakhang), Guru Rinpoche (Guru Padmasambhava; introduced Buddhism to Bhutan), Pema Lingpa (a renowned treasure revealer in Bhutan), Drukpa Kunley (Divine Madman, a legendary Buddhist saint associated with fertility worship), Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal (Founder of Modern Bhutan, standardized Bhutan National Dress, created Bhutan Teschu Festival), Thangthong Gyalpo (Iron Bridge builder).
Is Bhutanese culture similar to Tibetan culture? Visit Bhutan to find out the answer firsthand. Bhutan, known as “the Land at the End of Tibet”, is located in the Himalayan region, bordering the Tibetan Plateau. This explains why the Bhutanese people use the Tibetan script for writing, even though they now speak both Dzongkha (which is similar to the Tibetan language) and English. Dzongkha plays a crucial role in Bhutan's national identity and cultural preservation. Learning basic Dzongkha phrases can enhance your experience when visiting Bhutan and show respect for the local culture.
Photos of the Kings of Bhutan Displayed Throughout the Country. As a unique cultural experience in Bhutan, the photos of the kings help travelers connect with the country's history and understand the role of the monarchy in its society. The Bhutanese people hold deep affection and respect for their kings, and displaying their photos is a means of expressing this sentiment. To date, five Kings have played crucial roles in shaping Bhutan into the unique and thriving nation it is today: Ugyen Wangchuck (Reign: 1907-1926), Jigme Wangchuck (Reign: 1926-1952), Jigme Dorji Wangchuck (Reign: 1952-1972), Jigme Singye Wangchuck (Reign: 1972-2006), and Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck (Reign: 2006-present). The current King continues to champion Gross National Happiness and environmental sustainability.
Colorful Bhutan Festivals, Organic Bhutan Food & 13 Traditional Arts and Crafts. Bhutan is known for its vibrant festivals. Throughout the year, there are hundreds of festivals to explore! Dive into popular festivals like Paro Tsechu, Thimphu Tsechu, Punakha Tsechu & Drubchen, Jambay Lhakhang Drup, Haa Summer Festival, Black-Necked Crane Festival, Laya Royal Highland Festival, where you can witness various ceremonies, masked dances, and local traditions. With over 70% of agricultural land is now under organic management, Bhutan is a prime destination to savor organic, safe, and healthy food. Apart from experiencing Bhutan cuisine, you should not miss out on the 13 traditional arts and crafts (Zorig Chusum). Witness skilled artisans create intricate woven textiles, thangka paintings, and handcrafted souvenirs. You will see that the Zorig Chusum goes beyond artistic endeavors; it is deeply intertwined with Bhutanese culture, religious practices, daily life, holding great significance for Bhutan's national identity and cultural heritage.

Private tour to Bhutan
We are Austrians and contacted AOT for a tour to Bhutan. The itinerary was was interesting and all was planed well. Our highlights were the festival in Paro and the walk to the tiger nest. Our guide Mrs. Cheni gave us a good overview about Bhutan`s culture and tradition. During our tour the Prime Minister of India also made a visit to Bhutan and for two day the roads were blocked from 9:00 to 11:00am. In order to reach the festival of Paro before the road blockage Mrs. Cheni organized this trip for 6:00am. We were very satisfied with this tour and will recommend to our Austrian friends the company AOT and the guide Mrs. Cheni.

We had the pleasure of booking our Bhutan adventure with Asia odyssey travel and it was an experience we’ll never forget. It all started with Kyle, who promptly responded to our inquiry for a quotation to Bhutan. Despite our last minute request and the urgency of our travel dates, Kyle was quick to provide us with the necessary details. However, due to a hiccup during the payment process through WISE, it took about 15 days for the payment to reach Kyle. Throughout this period, Kyle was incredibly patient and kept us updated on the progress of the payment. His professionalism in handling the situation and assisting us with arranging the required documents, such as insurance coverage and e-visa, was truly commendable.
Upon our arrival in Bhutan, we were warmly welcomed by our tour guide, Mr Bhim and our driver, Mr wangchuk. From the moment we met them, we knew we were in good hand. They formed a perfect team, seamlessly working together to ensure our trip was nothing short of amazing. One of the highlight was when they went above and beyond to accommodate our request to visit certain areas not initially in the itinerary.
A true testament to their dedication was when Mr Bhim informed us the night before that certain highway and places of interest would be closed the next day due to the state VIP guests. He promptly picked us up at 6:30am to ensure we avoided any inconvenience. Had we waited until 7am, we would have been stuck at the hotel due to State VIP arrangements. Both Mr Bhim and Mr wangchuk made sure our journey started early and ended at 5pm, maximising our time and experience in Thimphu.
Throughout our trip, both Mr Bhim and Mr Wangchuk went out of their way to make us comfortable. They helped carry our belongings, provided us with umbrella during unpredictable weather, and shared they’d vast knowledge of Bhutanese Buddhism and culture.
A standout moment was trekking to tiger nest, where both Mr Bhim and Mr Wangchuk accompanied us, sharing stories and insight about the place. It was an enriching experience that made the trek even more memorable.
Overall, our journey with Asia odyssey travel was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to the professionalism, dedication and care of Mr Kyle, Mr Bhim and Mr Wangchuk. That turned what could have been challenging situation into seamless experience, ensuring we had the best time exploring the beautiful country of Bhutan. We highly recommend Asia odyssey travel for anyone looking to embark on an unforgettable adventure in Bhutan.
Thank you, Kyle, Bhim and Wangchuk for creating memories that will last a lifetime.
