Bhutan is a small country straddling along the Himalayan ranges. It is a feast for the eyes and provides a rich cultural experience to tourists who want to peek into the lifestyle of Bhutanese people. However, due to the advancement of modernization, the authentic culture of the country is seriously being haggled away with the urban explosion in the country. It is one of the countries where Buddhism has spread it roots really well. You can see the traditional architecture of Mahayana Buddhism in the monasteries. Bhutan is indeed unique, it is one of the last countries to practice Tantric Mahayana Buddhism. The common languages that people understand and speak here are Nepali, Hindi, English. The official language of Bhutan is Dzongkha. Bhutan is also well acclaimed for the Bhutan cycling Tour that allows the tourists to discover the beautiful plains of the country on cycle. A well-rounded experience of fun, fitness, and adventure. To preserve the age-old culture and traditions, family values of internal happiness, Bhutan has always preferred to have less influx of tourists as a mark of responsible tourism. It is not just the amount of money spent but the value and the destination that matters. To breathe in the fresh air of Himalaya, look up at clear pristine blue skies and experience the good vibes of the holiday in the ‘land of Happiness’ where happiness plays a greater role in your life than the temporary material acquisitions.

Tour Reviews
Our trek to Everest Base Camp with Explore Himalaya adventure sports association was a trip to remember. From our arrival in the Kathmandu airport to our departure 16 days later, this was amazing the way they care about us was unforgettable. God bless you all.
It was an amazing tour to kasol
I am from Australia and I came across Explore Himalaya.org while surfing the internet for my himalayan trekking adventure. Based on other positive reviews, I decided to go with Explore Himalaya.org. Now I am very happy with my decision because I had an amazing time in India and Nepal with their Team, specialy with Akshay in India and Raghav in Nepal. and all because of Explore Himalaya.They have an amazing group of guides and porters.

I am from Mumbai. My trip with Explore Himalaya was very good. I booked my manali to leh cycling with them. We covered a lot of area. Tour leader knowledge energy and passion for Himalaya made the riding journey all so much better. We got to learn about local flora and fauna in depth, The transport and support was made so much better as Explore Himalaya team was always able to get that little bit better for what was budgeted. they had great organisation skills making the most of everyday.

I want to join manali to Leh cycling camp. So please provide me quotation for 10 days. I am only one person.
Me and my sons 19 and 17 years, were desperate to do a cycling tour in India after our Nepal tour with Explore Himalaya.I was nervous doing this kind of trip in India. However, our guide Akshay had planned out the safest tour and he was very safety conscious. It was an enjoyable 8-day trip and though there were some nerve-wracking road rides, most of the trip was awesome with few to no traffic. Would definitely recommend Explore Himalaya to other travelers.
It was more beautiful than I had imagined it. Valley of flowers is simply a delight to the senses. I came to know about this trek through my friend circle. We got in touch with explorehimalaya.org and they arranged the whole trek for us in a jiffy. Uttrakhand is a home to most beautiful mountain peaks and I'm glad I have discovered the cream of it all. Kudos to the team and the support staff.
