The Simple Way to Travel to Bhutan.
Kuzu Zangpo La!
Planning to travel to the Kingdom of Bhutan? Travelling to Bhutan can be a challenging, if not an impossible, task. The kingdom sits on “the roof of the world”, remote and “off the beaten path”. Just a few decades ago, travelling to Bhutan would mean organizing an all-out expedition with a long caravan of men and pack animals with large provisions. However, Bhutan has been opening her door, albeit slowly– motor roads reached Bhutan in the 1960s, national airline flew to other capital cities by 1980s and by 1999 computers in monastic fortresses in Bhutan were hooked on to World Wide Web.
So, with the marvels of modern communications, you can arrange your travel to Bhutan right here online. Read on, whether you are an avid trekker or a cultural explorer, you will find complete Bhutan travel information - from Bhutan's unique visa procedure to booking a customized trekking or tour package to the mountain kingdom.
The Kingdom of Bhutan...one of the few places on earth well worth calling the "Last Shangri-La", remains in the folds of the Eastern Himalayas, far and away from the maddening world. Since the kingdom remained untouched by colonialism, the culture and traditions have remained intact to this day. Bhutanese people, a proud lot, are known for their hospitality and friendliness.
You can take a truly wilderness hike amidst the majestic Himalayan peaks and the unspoiled forests. Get up to the chirping sound of the birds, walk along the wildflower-strewn footpaths and watch the sunrise over the gleaming Himalayas.
Witness a traditional game of archery contested between rival villages. Vividly decorated wooden targets hundred meters apart, powerful bamboo bows and exquisitely crafted arrows. Archers breaking into spontaneous songs and dances as they hit the mark.
Come soon and meet the gentle people whose culture and traditions are deeply rooted in the Buddhist principles. Listen to the Buddhist monks chanting ancient prayers in a monastery or observe a farming family go about their daily chores in a bucolic homestead.

Testimonials from our guests:
"...
Alpine
Bhutan Travel was absolutely outstanding in every way on our recent
trip to Bhutan. First they made all our arrangements including
visas, payment, and airline tickets with us in New York City. Next
they organized a trip to all the sites we wanted to see, even
Tiger's Nest, one of the most incredible places in the world and one
of the most sacred places in the Himalayas. We had a wonderful English speaking guide and driver who made the tour very special with their caring and their knowledge of the sites and culture. They became our friends for nine days. They helped us see this incredible country, taste the foods, and shared the history of Bhutan. In travelling through 180 countries of the world, this was the best tour we were ever on. Three hurrahs for Alpine Bhutan Travel and its managers, Tashi and Kelzang. We cannot thank them enough."
