Prayer flags, cliffside monasteries and the world’s only carbon-negative nation — five nights through the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.
Nestled in the Eastern Himalayas, Bhutan measures progress by Gross National Happiness rather than GDP. Its dzongs, monasteries and pristine valleys make it one of the most distinctive cultural and environmental destinations on Earth — a living lesson in sustainability and mindful living.
The Bhutan Trails journey (5 nights / 6 days) travels from Paro to Thimphu and Punakha, taking in the grand Tashichho Dzong, the Buddha Dordenma (Buddha Point) and Coronation Park, with an optional hike to the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery perched high on a Himalayan cliff.
Students explore Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness philosophy, its carbon-negative environmental policies and its deep Buddhist heritage — seeing how a small nation balances tradition, wellbeing and conservation in the modern world.
