6 Days Explore the Hidden Kingdom of Bhutan





Description
On this 6 Days 5 Nights adventure through the hearts of 4 western districts of Bhutan, you’ll go on nature hikes and appreciate the pristine natural environment, explore and ramble through rural villages and gain firsthand experience on its culture and people. Come visit Bhutan with us and explore one of the most unique and extraordinary countries in the world. Bhutan has both natural beauty and cultural wealth so carefully preserved and passed down from generation to generation, that visitors are not surprised to hear its nickname ‘Kingdom of Happiness’. Tucked away deep in the eastern Himalayas between the mighty neighbours – China to the north and India to the south, Bhutan remained isolated for centuries from the rest of the world until it opened its door to the outside world in the 1960s. Bhutan is one of the most beautiful and least travelled countries in the world and the last Vajrayana Buddhist Kingdom.

Important Information
- Suitable for all physical fitness levels
- This tour can be customized and run on a private basis just for you and your group.
- We highly recommend booking at least a few months before the departure date so that we have enough time to ensure the flights are available. If you already have flight tickets to and from Bhutan, we can take bookings up to a week before the departure date. To process visa, it only takes 4-5 business days.
- There are only two airlines that connect Bhutan with the outside world and so securing air tickets can be difficult especially during the months of high season. Currently, Bhutan is connected with these cities - Bagdogra, Bangkok, Delhi, Dhaka, Guwahati, Kathmandu, Kolkata, Singapore. We recommend you book your international flights a few months in advance especially if you plan to visit during the high season months of March to May and September to November. If you need help in arranging flights to/from Bhutan, please let us know much in advance.
- After you book the tour, kindly send us clear passports copies of all the participants. A biodata page including the machine-readable zone must be seen clearly. Passports should have a minimum of 6 MONTHS validity from the day you depart from Bhutan. You may also want to check the passport requirements by your next destination country after Bhutan. A copy of your e-Visa will be emailed to you once it is approved. It only takes 4-5 business days to get visa approval and it is 100 percent guaranteed as long as we receive clear passport copies of all the participants. The actual visa will be stamped on your passport upon arrival. Send the passport copies to the Local Supplier E-mail address.

We had an absolutely amazing time on this tour. The company takes care of everything, providing you with a hassle-free experience. Our tour guide (Tshering) and driver (Gyeltshen) were incredibly receptive to our needs, and remained flexible if we wanted to alter the itinerary in any way. Thanks again for everything- it was a magical experience!
Thank you so much for arranging a truly unforgettable trip for us! Our guide Tashee and driver Edoo were bot absolutely phenomenal! They truly made the entire experience in your glorious country a magnificent one. We will never forget our time in Bhutan. It is a land of true beauty and both Tashee and Edoo helped us to understand and appreciate that. Make sure you request them!
This was by far one of the best trips I have ever been on. Normally I prefer to explore places on my own, but doing this trip with a guide and driver felt perfect. From my first contact with Bhutan Acorn Tours until my flight out of Bhutan everything went very smoothly. Bhutan Acorn Tours takes care of everything for you: visa, flights,... They provide you an itinerary, but they are open to you making changes. For exemple: I wanted to see some takins, so they added a visit to the preserve on the first day. The rest of the trip was simply amazing. Friendly and fun guide and driver (almost felt like a road trip with friends), stunning temples and dzongs, breathtaking views, rewarding hikes, delicious food,... Bhutan just has so much to offer, and Bhutan Acorn Tours delivers it in the best way! I will definitely return to Bhutan one day to visit other areas and I will definitely reach out to Bhutan Acorn Tours then.
I cannot recommend this trip enough. It is for active hikers, but it is worth every step you take. If you get a chance, please request Tashi, he is one of the best guides out there. So happy and knowledgeable he really made us feel welcome. He taught us all about bhutan and buddism and how special this place really is. I cannot recommend this trip enough. It is worth every penny!
Explored Bhutan on a delightful 6-day tour with Bhutan Acorn Tours and Travel in October 2023. Bhutan, an enchanting and tranquil country, feels like a world of its own, surrounded by a profound spiritual ambiance. The warm locals contribute to its inviting atmosphere. The pre-trip communication was seamless, swiftly arranging flights and visas. Received valuable pre-departure tips, such as securing a window seat for a Himalayan view during the flight. In Bhutan, my guide Tshiring and driver Tashi were well-informed, adjusting the itinerary based on my interests and energy levels, making the journey enjoyable and effortless. Bhutan Acorn's accommodations were cozy, including a night in a farmhouse for an immersive cultural experience. Highly recommend embarking on an authentic Bhutanese journey with them, going beyond typical tours.
Wonderful guide and driver. Made the entire experience easy and fun! Company has great communication and very friendly.
This was an excellent tour in everyway. Truly the trip of a lifetime. Most notably, in my case, I contacted Bhutan Acorn on a wednesday and they had a full tour booked and arranged for me for arrival on Saturday. My plans were completely last minute, as I was in Bangladesh prior. After booking, I didn't have to plan a single thing. I was met at the airport, and all accommodations and meals were taken care of. The private mini-suv was new, clean, and reliable. Accommodations were top notch and all the buffet meals were very tasty! Mr Tashi is an excellent and knowledgeable guide, who passionately shared the rich history of the sites we visited. He even made it a point to snap several photos from our trip. He had answers to all my questions. and, he's just an all around cool guy to spend the day with!

I would like to thank you for choosing us to arrange your trip in Bhutan. Wishing you continued success, happiness, and adventure! Karma & Team Bhutan Acorn

The sights, the people…we were floored by the entire experience. The team at Bhutan Acorn Tours made this the easiest most enjoyable trip in years. Love it so much, I’m planning on bringing more friends with my on my next visit. Eternally grateful!!!!

A friend and I toured Bhutan with Bhutan Acorn Tours and Travel through the 7D/6N Hidden Kingdom of Bhutan experience. We did the tour over the Christmas holidays from 30th of December to 05 January. Karma was very responsive when setting up the tour in the months prior and communications regarding our itinerary and visa were very clear and efficient. Predeparture information was also provided which was useful for our route via Delhi. Upon arrival, we met with Tashi Dorji who was our guide for the week and who truly made it a memorable trip. His knowledge on the rich cultural, religious and natural heritage throughout each region was excellent, where the very interesting stories of ancient legends were portrayed wonderfully with colorful stories at different temples and sites that we visited. Tashi also educated us widely on the social, environment and economic values of Bhutan. All of our lodges were very comfortable and the local cuisine was great, with a wide variety of tasty dishes during each meal. We highly recommend doing a homestay, if the option is available on your tour package also. This gave us a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a peaceful traditional stay in a highland Bhutanese home. If hiking is your thing, this is the place to be. All the trails were brilliant, though the Tigers Nest trek stands out as being one of the most incredible hikes I have ever done. I would highly recommend traveling to Bhutan with Bhutan Acorn Tours and Travel! Thank you Tashi and Karma for a great advernture.

Traveled Bhutan on 6 D/5N tour with Bhutan Acorn Tours and Travel in Nov 2022. Bhutan is a lovely country, very spiritual and tranquil, a world of its own. Its people are friendly and welcoming. Communication before the trip was excellent with flights and visa arranged promptly. Valuable pre departure information was provided including how to secure a window seat to view the Himalaya mountains during flight! In Bhutan Ms Lhamo was my guide and she expertly shared her knowledge and insights about her country on a wide range of subjects from birds to historical folklore and the local deities. The itinerary was reviewed often and adjusted based on my interests and energy level. The lodging provided by Bhutan Acorn was quite comfortable. I stayed one night in a farmhouse and appreciated experiencing first-hand the local culture. I would highly recommend traveling with Bhutan Acorn Tours and Travel. They care about sharing the true essence of Bhutan with travelers, not just being a tour operator.
Dear Diana, It was a pleasure working with you organizing this trip and I am really glad that you were finally able to visit Bhutan. Lhamo had a great time taking you around and she is of course very happy to receive this high rating. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you. Best wishes, Karma & Team Bhutan Acorn Tours & Travel
