Bhutan
Bhutan is a land where nature and spirit move as one — a kingdom of soaring Himalayan peaks, emerald valleys, and monasteries perched on cliffs wrapped in cloud. Here, happiness is a philosophy, the forests are protected, and time slows to the pace of prayer wheels and mountain winds. From the legendary Tiger’s Nest to quiet village trails and hidden sanctuaries, every moment in Bhutan invites reflection, connection, and awe. With Wild Times Safaris, Bhutan becomes not just a destination — but a journey into tranquility and meaning.
