Join our resident naturalist, Hishey Tshering and his staff, on an amazing trip over the prayer-flag laden passes of Bhutan along roads with vivid rhododendrons blooming throughout the springtime. This shining Buddhist gem is a birder's paradise during the courting season of their many birds. Bhutan's altitudinal variations from tropical lowlands to mountain peaks keeps you constantly guessing about the next surprise around the corner! This trip is timed when flowering plants are constantly changing and birds are mating. Encounter over a dozen intriguing mammals, including the Golden Langur, and over 200 species of birds. Arrive in Paro in time to enjoy the Paro Festival, then continue eastward past Mongar to the east before returning west as the blooming season progresses in the passes. Enjoy excellent lodges, plus mobile camping off the beaten track.

Join our wonderful leader, Hishey Tshering, over the prayer-flag laden passes of Bhutan along roads looking out onto beautiful vistas in all directions. This shining Buddhist gem is a scenic paradise in November during the clear skies of autumn. Bhutan's altitudinal variations from tropical lowlands to mountain peaks keeps you constantly guessing about the next surprise around the corner! Many resident and migrant birds are very likely to be encountered with Hishey's expertise in finding them. The Black-necked Cranes that winter in the Phobjikha Valley and the Crane Festival are true highlights. Also expect to encounter about a dozen species of fascinating mammals.
