Was Reisende sagen

SM

"The Tiger's Nest trek was a life-changing experience. Silverpine arranged everything perfectly - our guide Tshering was knowledgeable about Buddhism and the trail. This wasn't just a tour, it was a spiritual journey."

Located in the Eastern Himalayas, Bhutan (Druk Yul) is a mystical kingdom home to ancient Buddhist monasteries, sacred dzongs, vibrant festivals, and the world's only carbon-negative environment.

Silverpine Bhutan Tours & Treks has been crafting extraordinary journeys since 2008. As a licensed Bhutan tour operator registered with the Bhutan Tourism Council, we specialize in authentic cultural tours, festival tours (Paro Tshechu, Thimphu Tshechu, Punakha Drubchen), Himalayan trekking (Druk Path, Jomolhari, Snowman), Buddhist pilgrimage tours, and custom Bhutan itineraries for families, couples, solo travelers, and groups.

Our Bhutan tour packages include the government SDF fee ($100/night), Bhutan visa processing, quality accommodations (3-4 star hotels and luxury resorts), all meals, licensed English-speaking Bhutanese guides, private vehicles, monastery entrance fees, and 24/7 support.
