April 2 - 12, 2026  Thimpu - Bumthang - Paro

Exploring the magic of Bhutan supported by daily meditation, philosophy and yoga with Khenpo Tokpa Tulku & Cory Bryant. This is an incredible opportunity to dive deep into practice while experiencing the power of place. 

The Paro Tshechu is a vibrant, five-day Buddhist festival in Bhutan, held annually in the Paro Valley to honor Guru Rinpoche, that features masked dances, religious ceremonies, and traditional festivities. On arrival we'll be fortunate to spend some time taking in the celebration before heading to Thimpu -- our first destination!

Our Day 2-3 destination, Thimpu is the capital - the 5th highest in the world at over 7000 feet elevation - and the largest city in Bhutan with around 75,000 inhabitants. It’s a vibrant cultural hub that provides an inviting intro to the wonders of Bhutan!

Get ready to see take in the majesty of Bhutan’s 70% forested landscape as we continue our journey across the wilds with overnights in the wonder of Punakha and Gangtey Valley. Many amazing pilgrimage stops await us hidden here amongst the mountainsides.

This leg of our journey will transpire in the “heartland of Buddhism” in Bhutan. In 746 AD, the great bodhisattva, Guru Rinpoche, arrived here to exorcise a demon from the king, thus restoring peace to the region & converting the people to Buddhism.

Our trip will conclude in Paro — home to the famously astounding Tiger’s Nest — a cliffside monastery built in 1692 and with direct connection to Padmasambhava himself! While here we’ll also visit the incredible Kyichu Lakhang - home to the beloved Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.
