Bhutan, Thunder Dragon Country, is not somewhere you go — it's an adventure.

Bordering China and India, Bhutan is one of the few remaining bastions of traditional Mahayana Buddhism, which remains in its unadulterated form. Explore Buddhist Pilgrimage
Why Bhutan as a Buddhist Pilgrimage?
Bhutan is immersed in Buddhist thought, and its culture is inescapably entwined with monastic tradition and mystical legend. Monasteries atop cliffs, meditation caves in far forest, and ancient dzongs that have been centuries-long centers of spirituality and administration punctuate the land.
A Bhutan Buddhist pilgrimage is less about visiting pilgrim sites — it's about experiencing the tranquil way of life, where spirituality is an integral part of daily existence.
Most Popular Holy Places on a Bhutan Pilgrimage Tour
1. Paro Taktsang (Tiger's Nest Monastery)
Bhutan's most scenic spot, the Tiger's Nest Monastery clings to a cliff 900 meters above Paro Valley. The legend is that Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) flew to the site on the back of a tigress and meditated in a cave, making the site holy. A trek to Taktsang is not only physically rewarding but also spiritually fulfilling.
2. Kyichu Lhakhang
One of Bhutan's oldest temples, Kyichu Lhakhang was constructed in the 7th century. One of the 108 temples that Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo had built to pin down a demoness who stretched across the Himalayas, it is said to be. Deeply serene here, ideal for meditation and prayer.
3. Punakha Dzong
Located where the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers meet, Punakha Dzong is one of Bhutan's most impressive and important fortresses. It is the winter seat of the central monastic government and contains many significant sacred festivals.
4. Chimi Lhakhang (Fertility Temple)
Constructed in the memory of the "Divine Madman" Lama Drukpa Kunley, Chimi Lhakhang is an unusual temple famous for its unconventional blessings. Pilgrims travel to this temple in the hope of fertility, and the atmosphere here is mostly celebratory and jovial.

Bhutan's spiritual center, Bumthang features numerous monasteries and temples.
