About Experience Bhutan Travel
A trusted local specialist since 2004
Experience Bhutan Travel is a licensed Bhutan tour operator and trekking company based in Thimphu, the capital of the Kingdom of Bhutan.
Established in 2004 under Trade Licence No. 1018282, the company has steadily grown into a trusted local travel specialist. We create customised Bhutan tours, trekking holidays, cultural journeys, pilgrimages and luxury travel experiences for international travellers.
Every itinerary is shaped around the guest—not around a fixed template. We consider personal interests, preferred pace, comfort, mobility, food, accommodation and the kind of memories a traveller hopes to take home.
Years of guiding and operations experience inform every journey we plan.
