Paro • Thimphu • Punakha • Phobjikha • Trongsa • Tingtibi
Bhutan — the last great Himalayan Kingdom — is one of the world's premier birdwatching destinations, offering extraordinary avian diversity across its diverse ecological zones. From subtropical lowland forests to alpine meadows above 4,000 metres, Bhutan's pristine habitats harbour over 670 recorded bird species, including many that are rare, endemic or globally threatened. This exclusive 10-day itinerary takes you through the kingdom's finest birding sites — from the glacial lakes of Phobjikha valley (home of the Black-necked Crane) to the tropical forests of Royal Manas National Park — accompanied by expert local naturalists who know every forest trail and valley where the rarest species make their home.
