Welcome to Bhutan

Welcome to Bhutan - the 'Land of the Thunder Dragon'. Perched among the peaks of the mighty Himalaya, the tiny kingdom of Bhutan has been described as the last Shangri-La, shrouded in centuries of mystery. Bhutan offers a fascinating insight into a Buddhist culture where time has stood still and the chance to experience Himalayan landscapes of astounding, untouched beauty. 

We are pleased to introduce several exciting new itineraries this year including a group tour for Thimphu festival in October 08.  We are also offering the Snowman Trek, the trek of a lifetime, which we are running in September/October 2008.  Or try the wonderful Laya Gasa trek (a challenging but exhilarating 15 day trek in a 20 day itinerary) which we plan to run in November 2008.

Based both in Bhutan and the UK, Blue Poppy Tours and Treks has many years of experience revealing to clients the mysteries of Bhutan’s traditions and majestic landscapes. Whether you’re interested in visiting ancient Buddhist monasteries, experiencing a traditional Bhutanese festival, or trekking in stunning mountain scenery, our speciality is to tailor your trip to your needs and make it an unforgettable holiday. 

We pride ourselves on our extensive local contacts and on going the extra mile to make each trip unique. We can arrange stays in traditional Bhutanese farmhouses, bird-watching, fishing, mountain biking, archery lessons, tours focusing on local textiles, photography, filming, Buddhist meditation and much more. Let us help you to see Bhutan through Bhutanese eyes.

We are often asked if we can assist with tours in neighbouring countries and regions.  We have worked with the following agents in Nepal, Darjeeling and Mongolia who we are happy to recommend:

  • Kul Bahadur Gurung at Alliance Treks in Kathmandu who offers tours and treks in Nepal and can also arrange trips to Tibet
  • Jimmy Singh at Gurudongma Tours and Treks in Kalimpong who offers tours of Darjeeling and Sikkim (as well as elsewhere in India)
