Travel with Northwest Rafting Company to the country revered by many as the last Shangri-La. Bhutan is a tiny Buddhist kingdom nestled between India and China. Bhutan travel with Northwest Rafting Company features an active itinerary that will have you rafting or kayaking rivers of Himalayan snowmelt and visiting some of the most important Buddhist cultural sites in the world.
Bhutan Travel with NWRC
Access to Bhutan is strictly limited by the government and many tours would have you riding by bus from site to site. Our tour is different. With NWRC, you’ll experience the monasteries and shrines of the peace-loving monks that call Bhutan home, as well as the pristine natural environment of the Himalayas. A typical day will have you rafting a short stretch of river in the morning and visiting a cultural site in the afternoon. Other highlights include visits to the capital city’s handicraft school, seeing one of the largest seated Buddhas in the world, and hiking to the stunning cliffside monastery, Taktsang (Tiger’s Nest).
Rafting next to the Punakha Dzong on the Pho Chhu
Our trip to Bhutan offers a unique opportunity to experience the culture, history, and natural beauty of Bhutan. We hope you’ll join us for our next adventure in the “Land of the Thunder Dragon”.
