Bhutan Journeys
Often referred to as the last Shangri-La, Bhutan offers the ultimate travel experience! Bhutan only opened its doors to tourism in 1974, and until recently limited the number of visitors allowed to enter each year. Now Beyond The Clouds is thrilled to offer a range of carefully planned tours to this magical destination.

All of our tours are led by expert English, French or German-speaking Bhutanese guides. Our itineraries are carefully planned to allow you to experience the best of Bhutan without feeling too rushed. We also pride ourselves in finding the best cafes and eateries, so that you can experience really good meals along the way.
Discover this mystical Land of the Thunder Dragon, where monasteries are part of the mainstream and traditional culture, architecture, and Buddhism thrive.
Time your visit to coincide with a Tsechu, or festival, held annually in towns and villages throughout the kingdom. These spectacularly colourful and captivating events draws hundreds of Bhutanese people in a spirit of reverence, blessing, festivity and celebration. Festivals in Bhutan take place in Dzongs (monasteries) and come to life with spectacular colour, music, dance, and drama. Villagers gather to witness the incredible masked dances that depict traditional Bhutanese and Buddhist tales.
“Our decision to use Beyond The Clouds was absolutely the right decision! The trip was everything we had hoped it would be and more. The planning was excellent, our lodgings great, the cultural sights which gave us a true picture to life in Bhutan and we cannot say enough about our guide, Pema, and driver. We even received special treatment in Kathmandu, Nepal, our layover place, at a recommended restaurant for Ken’s birthday. We love that there is a charitable aspect to Beyond The Clouds. ”
