Luxury Bhutan Family Tours made for you
Tailor-made Bhutan family vacations
Explore subtropical valleys and high alpine passes on Luxury Bhutan family tours
In Bhutan, ancient temples and monasteries cling precariously to mountainsides and prayer flags flutter their blessings over lush green valleys. Visit Paro, where a steep trail with remarkable views – and a tea house halfway – brings you to the sacred site of Taktsang Monastery, the “Tiger’s Nest”. Then spend time in the unhurried capital of Thimphu and visit the Folk Heritage Museum and National Textile Museum to learn about Bhutan’s rich cultural heritage.
At the confluence of two rivers in Punakha, you’ll find Punakha Dzong, one of the country’s most beautiful and impressive architectural landmarks. With your guide, you can cycle through rice paddies between villages and along terraced hillsides, take gentle hikes or go river rafting. On longer Bhutan family vacations, visit Gangtey, where the surrounding valley offers black-necked crane spotting in a pristine glacial landscape. Or stay in Bumthang and explore its mountain valleys and national parks. In mid-November experience one of the best-known festivals in Bhutan, the Jambay Lhakhang Festival, which lasts five days and features masked dancers and a fire ritual.
Stay in spectacular lodges and scenic retreats, with an expert travel designer to plan your personal itinerary. Get in touch with our team of travel designers, who will share their insights and experiences, creating the perfect luxury Bhutan family tour.

A word from one of our experts
Bhutan stands apart as one of the world’s most intentionally preserved cultures – with policies in place to protect its environment and traditions, and guides are mandatory for any journey beyond Thimphu and Paro. This protected element makes travel in Bhutan even more special.

When to visit Bhutan
Visit Bhutan between March and May or September and November for the most comfortable weather and spectacular scenery. Spring brings wildflowers carpeting the valleys and clear, pleasant days, while autumn delivers crisp mountain air, brilliant blue skies and valleys painted in golden hues. December and January bring cold temperatures but crystal-clear visibility, while July and August see monsoon rains, particularly in lower elevations, though the landscapes turn lush and green. Festivals happen year-round, with the major Tshechus drawing the largest crowds in spring and autumn, but you’ll find celebrations in every season.
