In the past Bhutan & Beyond has been firmly entrenched in the philosophy that travellers to Bhutan, for whatever reason they choose to visit, should take a multi-valley tour to gain the best possible experience.

And to a large extent we still believe this to be true, especially for first time visitors. Each of Bhutan’s valleys has a different feel; the people can look & dress differently and speak different dialects – and the awesome natural beauty shifts as you traverse across the Kingdom.

However, a number of the luxury style resorts are now painting a picture that will entice those who prefer to avoid 2-3 night stops in various valleys in favour of a ‘Staycation’ style experience. This could involve staying 5-7 nights (or more) at a single property. Or perhaps consider 3-5 nights at 2-3 different properties & valleys, and therefore gaining an in-depth view of selected regions. Plus focusing more on personal well-being and relaxation. These alternatives also cut down on the road travel times between valleys on your journey.

After all, Bhutan is highly regarded as a safe, serene and very laid back destination where interaction with the delightful locals is a key part of the Bhutan ‘experience’.

So, no matter what your preference for ‘stayput vs touring’ you can be assured of a very rewarding journey.
