Bhutan

Bhutan is an ancient land secluded high in the Himalayas, where magical customs and people with deep religious beliefs have lived for many centuries. It is a land of monasteries, monks, majestic mountains and a rich heritage. It wasn’t until recent years that travel into the kingdom could be made other than by horseback or on foot, which explains why few travelers have experienced this magical land.

Karnali Excursions is your guide to such wonders as the winter capital of Punakha Dzong, views of the Spotted Black-Necked Cranes of Gangtey Gompa (an ornithologist’s delight), or Ura, which separates the East Kingdom from the West Kingdom. We will handle all your preparations from equipment to permits. Just bring your camera, batteries, plenty of film and your sense of wonder.

These tours are based on a minimum of two people.

With a limited travel season for this region (April-November), early reservations are highly recommended to assure air transport availability.
