Bhutan often called the(Last Shangri-La)—is best known for its Gross National Happiness, breathtaking dzongs, and Tiger’s Nest Monastery. But for those who travel deeper, Bhutan hides entire worlds far from guidebooks and tourist trails. At Anugra Tours & Travels, we believe the most powerful travel experiences come from discovering the unseen Bhutan: its remote highland villages, sacred meditation caves, and stories whispered in the wind across Himalayan ridges.

🏔️ Villages Lost in Time

In the northeastern regions of Bhutan lie Merak and Sakteng, villages home to the Brokpa people—semi-nomadic herders known for their unique language, yak-hair clothing, and untouched way of life. Reaching here feels like crossing into another century. There are no fast-food chains, only ancient songs sung around wood fires and mountain trails lined with prayer flags.

Further north is Laya Village, perched at 3,800 meters above sea level and accessible only by multi-day trek. Known for its stunning views of Mt. Masang Gang and traditional festivals like the Royal Highlander Festival, Laya is where Bhutan’s raw beauty and indigenous strength come together.

🧘 Hidden Spiritual Sanctuaries

While Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang) draws global attention, Bhutan’s most sacred spiritual sites are tucked away in the highlands and forests. For example:

Unlike crowded tourist temples, these places offer genuine peace—perfect for those seeking mindfulness, reflection, and connection.

🌾 Culture Through Food & Handicrafts

In Bhutan, every meal tells a story. From the red rice of Paro to the spicy Ema Datshi (chili and cheese) of the east, food is deeply tied to geography and community. In the village of Khoma, women are known for weaving the prized Kishuthara textiles—intricate silk fabrics that take months to complete. Anugra offers interactive cultural experiences where you can try weaving, attend local cooking demos, or help prepare a communal lunch in a highland home.

🚶‍♂️ How Anugra Brings You Closer

At Anugra Tours & Travels, we curate experiences that aren’t about checking off destinations—they’re about making memories. Our local guides are fluent in Dzongkha and English, and more importantly, in the art of storytelling. Whether it’s translating a village elder’s tale, guiding you through a spiritual rite, or introducing you to yak herders, they bridge the gap between visitor and local.

🌿 Travel with Purpose

We are committed to responsible tourism. Your visit helps support rural artisans, homestays, and conservation projects. We avoid mass-tourism spots and instead invest in low-impact, high-experience journeys. Every itinerary is tailored to your pace and preferences—whether you seek silence in the mountains, songs in the valleys, or both.
