on the roof of the world
Fully Escorted Tour - 13 Days / 12 Nights

Kolkata – Bhutan – Gangtok (Sikkim) – Darjeeling – Glenburn Tea Estate – Kolkata or Delhi

Best Season – October to April

Bhutan – on the roof of the world among the Himalayas and home to the immortals, where communion with the divine is still possible through contemplation and meditation. As a result this remote land has always drawn philosophers and pilgrims in search of truth. To further define this land (Druk Yul – land of the thunder dragon) the people of Bhutan have been made to go to polls to vote for democracy – they are reluctant for democracy especially when the King’s policies are about lifting the ‘gross national happiness’ Bhutanese are very protective of their environment as it is seen as a source of all life and spirits.


Please allow at least 4 to 5 days to get a full experience as only a limited number of visitors are allowed each year (16,000 in 2006) through a handful of registered Bhutanese agencies. Chillout365 has a special arrangement with a local agency for our visitors.
