Bhutan solo travel offers keen adventurers, who are looking for some quality ‘me’ time, untouched natural beauty, serenity and warm, hospitable locals. This Buddhist kingdom, on the Himalayas’ eastern edge, is sandwiched between Tibet and India and is a haven rich with opportunities for self-discovery. Around every dramatic mountain range and sweeping valley is the chance to put yourself first and experience a holiday without compromise. There’re hiking discoveries to be made, like on the Nabji Korphu Trek, where you’ll go in search of ornate Buddhist monasteries, the golden-hued temple of Varanasi and monumental stupas in the country's capital. Or simply enjoy the authenticity and calmness of village life, complete with farmer-tended lush rice paddy fields and warming cups of homemade butter tea. So, whether you’re solo exploring your way across Thimphu, Bhutan's very own mini metropolis, or journeying to Punakha Dzong in search of the fortress lined with spring blooming purple jacaranda flowers, you’ll be sure to have a solo adventure packed with memory-making and reflective moments...

Bhutan Solo Travel Guide

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

Bhutan is one of Asia’s best kept secrets, opening its doors to the lucky and adventurous few searching for a trip with a difference. In fact, it’s fast becoming the destination of choice for solo travellers in search of the paths less trodden. Now you can explore an unspoilt natural haven filled with monasteries, temples, friendly faces and hearty dishes, in a spot that welcomes solo travellers with a warm embrace. Plus, you can be confident that our team of experts and on-site Concierges will be able to guide you every step of the way, tailoring your Bhutan solo travel trip exactly how you want.


Find Your Groove with Tsechu

Tshechu, aka the Mask Dance Festival, is the most important religious festival in Bhutan, complete with vibrant costumes and sacred monks. It’s one that can be found in almost every golden-hued temple and dzong complex, scattered across Bhutan’s wild and untamed terrain. For the biggest of celebrations Thimphu and Paro are great, especially for solo travellers but those seeking an escape from the tourist hordes might find lesser-known and visited events are also worth considering.


Walk Your Way Across Bhutan

From serene strolls towards sacred meditation spots to the well-walked paths of the Buddhist pilgrimage, there are countless journeys on foot to be had. Solo travellers can find solace in the great outdoors, surrounded by breath-taking and expansive views of Bhutan, where the rustic and rural charm ripples through every swooping valley and lush green rice field. For a slightly longer trip there’s the Bumdrak trek, where all roads lead to the Taktshang Monastery, that’s nestled proudly in the cliff face. Or save tired feet from throbbing and opt for the easier Nabji Korphu Trek, with equally stunning panoramic views.
