Luxury Holidays to Bhutan
The Last Shangri-La, Curated in Quiet Luxury
Bhutan isn’t just a destination—it’s a philosophy. A Himalayan kingdom where Gross National Happiness matters more than GDP, and where temples cling to cliffs as if suspended by prayer.
This is where sacred rituals meet world-class hospitality. From private audiences with monks to valley treks ending in hot stone baths, Bhutan offers a unique kind of luxury—rooted in presence, peace, and precision.
Awake & Wander designs journeys that honour both tradition and comfort: boutique lodges, private guides, helicopter access, and cultural immersion that feels soulful, not staged.

Entering the Kingdom: How to Reach Bhutan
Access to Bhutan is intentionally limited to preserve its cultural and ecological heritage. Most guests arrive via Paro International Airport (PBH) on Druk Air or Bhutan Airlines, with connecting flights from Bangkok, Delhi, Singapore, or Kathmandu. Awake & Wander handles exclusive Bhutan visa arrangements, first-class international connections, and chauffeured transfers throughout your stay. Helicopter transfers and luxury 4x4s are also available for exploring the country’s valleys in style.
Best Times to Visit Bhutan for Luxury and Light
The best time to visit Bhutan is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). These seasons offer clear skies, vibrant festivals like Paro Tshechu, and blooming rhododendron forests in the mountains. Winter (December to February) brings quietude, crisp air, and snow-dusted peaks—ideal for travellers who value solitude. Summer (June to August) is lush and green, though occasional monsoon rains may limit access to remote areas. Awake & Wander will recommend the season that aligns with your goals—be it photography, wellness, or cultural immersion.
The Top 4 Unforgettable Experiences and Things to Do in Bhutan
In Bhutan, time moves differently—and so does luxury. These refined experiences reflect the country’s spirit, tradition, and rarefied charm.
1
Hike to Tiger’s Nest with a Private Guide and Champagne Finish
No trip to Bhutan is complete without a guided hike to Paro Taktsang, or Tiger’s Nest Monastery, one of the world’s most iconic sacred sites. Awake & Wander arranges an early start to beat the crowds, a personal mountain guide, rest stops with refreshments, and a celebratory champagne toast at the summit or back at your luxury lodge. It’s both a pilgrimage and a privilege.
2
Stay in an Amankora or COMO Lodge in the Himalayas
Wake to views of Himalayan peaks, farmsteads and fluttering prayer flags at one of Bhutan’s luxury lodge circuits, such as Amankora, COMO Uma, or boutique retreats in Gangtey, Thimphu, and Punakha. Awake & Wander tailors your journey across valleys, with private chefs, personal wellness consultations, and immersive yet discreet service at every turn.
3
Experience a Private Blessing with Monks in a Hidden Temple
Connect deeply with Bhutan’s spiritual heritage through a private ceremony led by resident monks in a remote monastery. Whether it’s a butter lamp offering, a meditation session, or a life blessing, the experience is deeply personal and rooted in centuries of tradition. Add a donation in your name, arranged respectfully by Awake & Wander, for a moment of mindful giving.
4
Discover Bhutan’s Valleys by Helicopter or Scenic Drive
Explore Bhutan’s dramatic terrain in elevated comfort. Awake & Wander offers helicopter transfers between valleys like Punakha, Bumthang, and Paro, revealing vast mountain vistas and hidden dzongs from the air. Prefer ground travel? Your private guide and 4x4 take you via dramatic passes, scenic farm roads, and local markets—all with your pace and comfort in mind.
Why Bhutan Is the Crown Jewel of Conscious Luxury
Bhutan redefines what luxury means. It’s not about gold taps or glitz—it’s about stillness, sincerity, and a rare sense of clarity. It’s the silence of the mountains, the smoke of incense in a monastery, and the knowledge that you're treading gently through one of the world’s most protected cultures.
Awake & Wander ensures your journey is respectfully curated, sustainably delivered, and deeply transformative. Whether you come seeking reconnection, reflection, or a new perspective, Bhutan will meet you halfway—and stay with you long after you leave.
