Join an 11-day women’s expedition through Bhutan with a local leader, blending monastery hikes, cultural encounters, female-owned experiences and wellness traditions from Thimphu to Paro.
  • Hike to Wangditse Monastery, Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten, the Gangtey Nature Trail and Bumthang Valley with an all-women crew of assistant guides by your side. Traverse meadows, farmland and paddy fields.
  • Distil your own Ara (a traditional Bhutanese spirit) and then relax with a traditional herbal hot stone bath at a female-owned farmhouse in Paro.
  • Meet the nuns at Sangchhen Dorji Lhuendrup Nunnery and learn about Bhutanese monastic life over cups of tea within the sacred walls of this hilltop temple.
  • Surmount the cliff that leads to Tiger's Nest – Bhutan’s most iconic monastery. Perched on the side of the cliff, this monastery was built in the 17th century and sits at an elevation of 3120 m (10,230 ft).
  • Stay in a female-owned and operated hotel in Thimphu – learn about the owner’s inspiring story of empowering local girls and single mothers with job opportunities in the hospitality industry.
Stay in a mix of hotels and guesthouses, including a female-owned property in Thimphu. Accommodation may occasionally change due to limited availability, but will be of a similar standard. Early check-in isn’t always possible; luggage can be stored and, on some trips, shared day rooms may be provided.
