BEYOND THE MONASTERIES AND VALLEYS
Bhutan reveals itself slowly, and most never go far enough to see it. Beyond Paro's prayer flags and Punakha's postcard valleys lies a Bhutan few have driven through: high passes choked with cloud, dirt tracks clinging to ridgelines, villages where the modern world has barely left a footprint. This is an overland expedition to the farthest reaches of the Himalayan Kingdom, where roads run thin, monasteries sit beyond most outsiders' reach, and every switchback earns you a view no guidebook has captured. Drive to the edge of Bhutan, on your own terms.
