Solo Trip to Bhutan: Ultimate Travel Guide for Solo Explorers

Considering a Solo Trip to Bhutan? We can't say it strongly enough: do it! This small Himalayan kingdom between India and China has experiences you won't find elsewhere.

We recommend beginning with a hike to Tiger's Nest Monastery – just be sure to pack solid shoes for that steep incline! Thimphu's weekend markets are ideal for meeting locals who may teach you some Dzongkha words. For pure magic, we love the peaceful Phobjikha Valley, where the silence is practically obvious.

The destinations to explore in Bhutan seem endless, even though the country is relatively small. Everyone's got to include Punakha's towering fortress on their list, and the holy mountain scenery will render you speechless.

Need help ironing out the details? Our Bhutan trip packages handle all the fiddly stuff, such as permits and transfers, for you so that you can just relax and enjoy experiencing the famous Bhutanese hospitality and cuisine!
