About this collection
Bhutan’s geography changes quickly. A morning can begin in a blue-pine forest, cross a cloud-wrapped pass and finish among rice terraces or broad glacial wetlands. This collection focuses on the landscapes between the landmark buildings.Find advice on pacing, seasonal weather, wildlife etiquette and the small villages that reward an extra night. Conditions in mountain environments can change without warning, so confirm road, trail and park information locally.
