On your trip to Bhutan you will experience Bhutan's unmatched high-altitude beauty. Bhutan's peaceful folk, tradition-steeped way of life, and pristine environment are just about nonexistent elsewhere in the world. The government of Bhutan wants to keep the country this way and therefore has created certain guidelines for tourism--such as fixing the tour rate and requiring tourists to have a guided tour--which all tour operators must follow. Though the restrictions may seem tight, you will find that the all-inclusive prearranged package and the convenience of having a guide and driver will allow you to focus on your travels through shangri-la, while Bhutan Gateway Travel takes care of all the details.

Traveling to Bhutan is a unique and wonderous experience, since Bhutan is still an off-the-beaten-path destination. The government of Bhutan would like to keep Bhutan pristine, and therefore tourism is highly regulated. For instance, all tourists traveling to Bhutan must do so through a licensed Bhutanese tour operator. You cannot tour Bhutan on your own. This government rule ensures that when you travel to Bhutan, you will find yourself in a carefully preserved environment with a traditional culture.

Trekking in Bhutan is a great way to see the spectacular Bhutanese countryside. We have a variety of treks for different ability levels. Our short Gantey and Bumthang treks will take you through lush valleys, our moderate Druk Path trek will lead you along rushing streams and to stunning lakes, and our challenging Jumolhari and Laya/Gasa treks will bring you over high mountain passes with magnificent views. Our trekking routes in Bhutan will take you through remote villages and near rice paddy terraces, and depending on the trek you can spot blue sheep, various birds, yaks and yak herders, takins, and monkeys. Our expert trekking staff will guide you and see to your comfort while you're trekking in Bhutan.
