A comprehensive 15-day botanical holiday to this last Shangri-la with 9-day trek beneath the great peak of Jhomolhari.

Bhutan is as individual as a country can be; it is a land of boundless and beautiful forests. If the natural history of this small mountain kingdom is as yet little known, we do know that its unspoiled forests and valleys hold the best of the great variety of flowers and birds for which the eastern Himalaya is famous. This holiday focuses on Bhutan�s fabulous flora with most time spending on a nine-day trek below the great peak of Jhomolhari. To enjoy seeing the best of Bhutan�s flora, one has to schedule the trip coinciding with the beginning of the monsoon, the peak flowering season for temperate and alpine Himalayan plants. Otherwise, if you come in spring there will be particularly the flowering rhododendrons, magnolias, and other spring flowers and shrubs. Our chosen itinerary (and trek) is ideal for botanists because it covers as much ground as possible, ranges in altitude from 200 to 5000 meters, and takes us to a wide variety of habitats, particularly the alpine meadows.

We invite you to discover Bhutan with us!

All part of Bhutan offer visitors the opportunity for an exceptional natural and cultural experience set in a learning context. There are many endangered species of animals and birds found in protected parks and forest reserves. Bhutan is home to endangered Golden Langur, Blue sheep and Royal Bengal Tiger, and Black Necked Crane.Ecotourism in Bhutan will definitely enhance environmental and socio-economic condition.

Ecotourism is most promising tourism component. It caters to many types of tourists including to nature enthusiasts, bird watchers, adventure tourists, bikers, religious tours and education groups. Current popular ecotourism include visits to the Phobjikha Valley to watch endangered Black Neck Cranes, and Nabji Korphu trek in Trongsa.

Other ideas currently being developed include trek through villages located in mountains, and opening up of more potential wild life sanctuary in south. There is government assistance on tourism to develop more diverse and popular Bhutan’s Ecotourism products.

Himalayan Kingdom EcoVenture works with local communities to promote Ecotourism in way most country has missed it. We offer packages that allow tourist to experience our culture through interaction with local people. This could mean meeting people at their homes, or villages; or camping near by farmer village. From this year, we are introducing wondrous out of way adventures to less frequented village of Kurtoe in Bhutan. It is with great excitement and enthusiasm, that we present this program to you under “less frequented journeys”.

During the trek, and out door activities, we try to operate in the communities with great responsibilities, and care. We do this by acting in a manner that is environmentally, socially and economically responsible. While Bhutan sustainable tourism policies are firm in mind of government and constantly evolving, our commitment to environmentally and socially beneficial activities at all level is put in right direction. We are committed to offering low environment impact tours that benefit traveller and host alike. We work with local villagers, small businesses and individuals to help create at grass root level social and economic opportunities for them, while preventing any negative environmental and cultural erosion.

We work as a responsible travel agent to promote active Eco Tourism, which is reflected in every aspect of our day to day travel Business, whether on wilderness camp site, or on group visit to village festivals. We think of ecotourism as what we can share to promote and in return, give back something to our pristine environment. Himalayan Kingdom EcoVenture will continue to work with local communities to promote sustainable tourism in way most country has missed it. We want to offer world what little a company like ours could.
