Bhutan does everything differently.
Small Group Tours

Travel to Bhutan isn't simply a holiday; it’s an awakening. Australian Journey to Bhutan believes small groups help that happen. We keep our group size small (usually 8-10) to maintain the integrity of the experience, enable a more intimate immersion into local cultural and more time with your Guide. We find travelling in a small group opens doors to some special experiences and discoveries like enjoying lunch in a farmhouse with locals. Tour features cultural highlights, unique fortresses and monasteries, walking in pristine forests that will take your breath away and close encounters with charming Bhutanese people you'll remember forever.

The most popular times to travel in Bhutan is Spring (Mar – May) and Autumn (Sep – Nov) when the weather is warm, the skies are clear and perfect for photography, and you will catch some of the unmissable festivals.

TRAVELLING SOLO? We invite you to join any of our small group tours. Because many of our group journeys have a strong focus on culture and nature, our groups are generally made up of like-minded people and many firm friendships are made. We're sure you'll meet other like-minded people. Will you have to pay a single supplement? That's your choice. We keep our single supplement fee very reasonable, but some solo travelers take up our ‘willing to share’ option, meaning we can explore you sharing with another solo traveler of the same gender at the twin share price.

Every tour offers an itinerary crafted to heighten enjoyment of your holiday experience, and our prices build maximum value for money with an inclusive price covering sustainable development fund levy, accommodation in Bhutanese owned hotels and farm stays as you wish, sightseeing, a private guide, meals and more.
