Seek Adventure, New Perspectives & Beauty in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan

People always ask me, Why Bhutan?

There are several reasons why we continue to return to Bhutan, yet the main driving force is because we believe that Bhutan’s palpable, calm energy, coupled with its stunning Himalayan landscape, its spiritual teachings and low-volume approach to tourism makes it the ideal location for us to share an incredible journey where all participants can not only reground and connect with themselves, but also learn many important life lessons that will help guide them throughout their lives.

I could tell you about the majesty of the Himalayas, the warmth of Bhutanese smiles, and the serenity of ancient monasteries. I could describe the thrill of hikes that lead to awe-inspiring views and how Tiger’s Nest feels like a glimpse into a mystical realm.

I could talk about the deep sense of community, the pristine landscapes, and the reverence for nature that defines Bhutan. And I could mention the vibrant prayer flags dancing in the wind, adding splashes of colour and whispers of ancient blessings to the breathtaking scenery.

But honestly, words can only go so far. The only way to truly understand the magic of Bhutan is to experience it yourself. Walk the land, savour the flavors, breathe the air, and let the spirit of the people transform you.

Six schools that we work with are offering the opportunity to their student community to travel to the Kingdom of Bhutan with us during March Break 2025. If you are a student in high school at Branksome Hall, Havergal College, Pickering College, Royal St. George’s College, St. Mildred’s Lightbourn School and The York School, and you are interested in embarking on a journey that will stay with you forever, please reach out to the person responsible at your school for Global Learning programs. The deadline to enrol in this once in a lifetime experience is the end of September.
