Botanical Tour

Bhutan has been listed as one of the ten hot spots of biological diversity in the world. With over 70% of its total land area under forest cover; Bhutan is home to one-fifth of the world's plant species and two-thirds of the most endangered species of plants and animals. The Bhutanese seasons are reflected in full color by flowers and plants, which cover the mountainside.Research has shown that Bhutan's forest is host to more than 5500 species of plants and 675 species of birds. There are 300 species of medicinal plants and over 600 species of orchids including another 50 species of rhododendron. You can see flowers and plants, but the central attraction of this package is a glimpse of how the Bhutanese society values and respects nature and lives in harmony with it based on the spiritual and religious beliefs.


The entire
Jhomolhari or the Adventurous Lingshi/Laya/Gasa Treks or parts of it listed under our trekking section makes an excellent botanical excursion. For a truly botanical experience we would recommend the months of April to mid-June and mid September to November for these treks. For those that are not very keen on trekking we recommend the following Rhododendron Tour during the 1st -3rd week of May.


In order to enhance your experiences, we can easily arrange talks on Nature Conservation by the country's leading conservationists due to our long and strong association with conservation organizations.
