Shangri La
1st October - 7 nights / Pleasant Day &
8th October 8 Days Cold Nights

Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon, sandwiched between Sikkim and Arunachal
Pradesh is a bewitching country full of quirky surprises.

This is a country where the absolute monarch voluntarily and peacefully ceded power
to the people, where wellbeing & happiness trump income & wealth, where forests can
never cover less than 60 % of the country by law, where buying cigarettes is illegal,
where national dress is proudly compulsory at work and in school and where the
ultimate ambition is not to be the world’s top exporter in this or that but to be the first
nation to become 100 % organic.

Bhutan with its tree covered hills and snow bedecked mountains, its verdant valleys
dotted with whitewashed wood & stone cottages, its cliff hugging monasteries
manned by lamas of all ages & sizes, and its charming towns filled with friendly
mirchhi-eating people, is a bucket list topper and will remain so for years to come.

So if you are a woman who loves the mountains as much as we do, come and
experience Bhutan with us in October 2024 and take back a little bit of its Happiness
with you.

At WeGoBond we keep our group sizes small so that you can make new friends and
yet find your own space. And so that when you get to our serene destinations, the
dictates, dynamics and timetables of a large group don’t dent your enjoyment.
Why travel with us
1st October - 7 nights / Pleasant Day &
8th October 8 Days Cold Nights

October is a great time to go; Autumn is just setting in. The valleys come alive with
flowers in bloom and flooding it with color. The days are pleasant and the skies are
clear offering clear views of the great Himalayas.

The country is completely mountainous, and we plan our holidays in SUVs (and not
coaches like most other companies).

Bhutan has two categories of hotels – the Uber Lux and then the standard tourist
hotels. We have personally selected some of the better of the standard hotels
available and assure you the standard is superior to those being used by some of the
other travel outfits.

Our itinerary includes a trip to Gangtey, Phobjika valley – a beautiful, quiet valley, a
must do as per us and not included in most itineraries to Bhutan

We keep our group sizes small, capping them at 12.
