Top Bhutan Tours in 2025 and 2026: Discover Incredible Festivals
Want an unforgettable escape that blends epic landscapes, incredible culture and unforgettable local experiences? Our Bhutan tours should be high on your bucket list.
Tucked in the eastern Himalayas, Bhutan offers a different kind of travel: one deeply spiritual and rich with tradition.
In 2025 and 2026, Bhutan is opening up more than ever, and there’s all sorts of incredible adventures awaiting far from the tourist trail. Rocky Road Travel’s expertly curated Bhutan tours offer exactly that: journeys in small groups where you can truly connect with the country.
With our upcoming tours, you have the chance to witness some of the country’s most vibrant festivals.
Paro Festival: A Cultural Spectacle in the Heart of Bhutan
One of the crown jewels of Bhutan’s cultural calendar, the Paro Tsechu (festival) is a dervish of colour, sound and spiritual energy. Held annually in the spring, this five-day festival celebrates the teachings of Guru Rinpoche, the founder of Bhutanese Buddhism.
During our Paro Festival Tour, you’ll not only watch the dazzling masked dances and ancient rituals up close, but also learn the stories behind them from your local guide. By experiencing this festival, you can explore the spiritual roots that still shape Bhutanese life today.
Our tour is scheduled to ensure access to the best days of the festival, while also exploring the stunning cliffside Tiger’s Nest Monastery, traditional farmhouses, and serene valleys that make Bhutan feel like a hidden world.
Jamba Lhakhang Festival: A Deeper Cut into Bhutanese Tradition
If you’re looking to go beyond the usual tourist circuits, the Jamba Lhakhang Festival Tour is something of a rare gem. This lesser-known celebration takes place in Bumthang: Bhutan’s spiritual heartland. You will get to witness the iconic fire blessing and naked dance: both powerful and symbolic rituals meant to cleanse sins and promote fertility.
Rocky Road’s tour takes you deep into the countryside, far from the capital, giving you time to connect with locals, sample home-cooked cuisine and experience Bhutan as it’s truly lived. You can experience Bhutan at its most raw and unfiltered.
Bangladesh & Bhutan: A Unique Twin-Nation Tour
For those looking to extend their cultural horizons, Rocky Road also offers a combined Bangladesh and Bhutan Tour. It’s a fascinating contrast: the bustling, chaotic charm of Dhaka followed by the peaceful, spiritual calm of Bhutan. You’ll see two very different sides of South Asia in one seamless journey.
Why Go With a Small Group?
Every tour with Rocky Road keeps a group to usually no more than 12 travellers. That means you can make closer connections, and experience Bhutan in a way that large tours simply can’t offer.
Whether you’re joining a prayer ceremony with monks, or hiking through remote valleys, you won’t just see Bhutan: you’ll feel it.
Ready to Travel Differently?
If you’re after a tour that’s rich in culture, brimming with meaning, and far from the ordinary, Rocky Road Travel’s Bhutan tours in 2025 and 2026 are your perfect match.
