Helicopter Tour

One can get faster to New York from Bhutan than from one end of the kingdom to the other. It is simply because the roads are long and meandering given the mountainous topography. So it takes days to reach Trashigang in the east from Paro in the west. Helicopter flights enable you to see the entire country in a span of an hour or two – the enigmatic Himalayas, dubbed the abode of the Gods – in a spectacular fashion. The flight is worth every cent you pay. The views are simply awe-inspiring. For the best bargain, you can spend a few days on the road too, seeing the country at close quarters.

Highlight for this trip:
  • Our company provides gho and kira for the group
  • Traditional farmhouse and dinner at farmhouse with family
  • Cultural show
  • We arrange the traditional sport archery of Bhutan to our clients
  • We have meditation room for guest in your office; we can arrange Buddhist    teaching by inviting Rimpochhes
