All Women’s Tour to the Last Shangri La

Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon, sandwiched between Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh is a bewitching country full of quirky surprises.

This is a country where the absolute monarch voluntarily and peacefully ceded power to the people, where well-being & happiness trump income & wealth, where forests can never cover less than 60 % of the country by law, where buying cigarettes is illegal, where national dress is proudly compulsory at work and in school and where the ultimate ambition is not to be the world’s top exporter in this or that but to be the first nation to become 100 % organic.

Bhutan with its tree-covered hills and snow-bedecked mountains, its verdant valleys dotted with whitewashed wood & stone cottages, its cliff-hugging monasteries manned by lamas of all ages & sizes, and its charming towns filled with friendly mirchi-eating people, is a bucket list topper and will remain so for years to come.

So if you are a woman who loves the mountains as much as we do, come and experience Bhutan with us in October 2024 and take back a little bit of its Happiness with you.

At WeGoBond we keep our group sizes small so that you can make new friends and yet find your own space.

And so that when you get to our serene destinations, the dictates, dynamics and timetables of a large group don’t dent your enjoyment.

• October is a great time to go; Autumn is just setting in. The valleys come alive with flowers in bloom and flooding with colour. The days are pleasant and the skies are clear offering clear views of the great Himalayas.
• The country is completely mountainous, and we plan our holidays in SUVs (and not coaches like most other companies).
• Bhutan has two categories of hotels – the Uber Lux and then the standard tourist hotels. We have personally selected some of the better of the standard hotels available and assure you the standard is superior to those being used by some of the other travel outfits.
• Our itinerary includes a trip to Gangtey, Phobjika Valley – a beautiful, quiet valley, a must-do as per us and not included in most itineraries to Bhutan
• We keep our group sizes small, capping them at 12.
