Bumthang

Considered Bhutan's spiritual heartland, home to some of its oldest temples, apple orchards, and cheese and honey production. Bumthang lies in central Bhutan, where the country's main valleys, dzongs and monasteries sit along the east–west road. Highlights include Jambay Lhakhang, Kurjey Lhakhang, Tamshing Monastery and Local cheese & honey. A visit here is easiest with a local guide, who can explain what you are seeing, open doors that are hard to find alone and handle the permits Bhutan requires. You can see Bumthang on our tours: Bumthang Spiritual Trail, Central Bhutan Wildlife & Heritage Trail, Eastern Bhutan Discovery and Central Bhutan Grand Cultural Immersion. Every journey is built around a licensed guide, a private vehicle and carefully chosen hotels or homestays — tell us your dates and interests and we will plan Bumthang into a trip that fits.
