We leave the tourist path behind to explore rural, offbeat Bhutan on a five-day adventure through “The Last Shangri La.” Experience Bhutan’s unique culture and Gross National Happiness up close. Due to the remote trails, some lunches will be alfresco, and three nights spent in our signature mobile camps. Our journey begins on rugged 4×4 logging trails deep in Bhutanese wilderness—off the beaten track and beyond Google maps.
