There is no place like Bhutan on earth, according to the owner of Village Tours and Treks, a Bhutan-based company that creates small group and customized adventurous tours to this Himalayan kingdom. From the dizzying display of dancers at a festival to the laughter of a young monk, Village Tours and Treks incorporates the best of Bhutan into every trip, hand selecting destinations that offer authentic experiences. With 25 years of experience, Village Tours and Treks puts together unique trips using experienced local guides who speak up to seven languages including English, German, Japanese and Spanish. These guides have an intimate knowledge of the landscape and people, and are passionate about sharing their country with visitors. Whether on a trek, cultural excursion, attending a local celebration or during a homestay, visitors will taste the local foods and interact with the villagers.
