Description

This 22-days Bhutan birding tour begins from eastern Bhutan and follows the 550 km lateral highway to western Bhutan passing through some of the best bird habitats in the kingdom’s pristine alpine, temperate and broad-leafed forests.

The birding tour crosses six districts, six mountain-passes, four regions that speak different languages and goes up to an altitude of 3,800m from 250m at the eastern border town.

Besides offering a first hand opportunity to see the country in all its natural ruggedness the tour also combines visit to ancient monasteries and temples and the interior towns and villages.

The main mode of travel is by road with accommodation in hotels at designated spots and at campsites.
