Nestled between India and Tibet, the Kingdom of Bhutan presents an alluring invitation to explore the most extensive tracts of broad-leaved and subtropical forest remaining in the bird-rich Eastern Himalaya. Measuring just 100 miles from north to south, and 200 miles from east to west, Bhutan encompasses a remarkable variety of ecosystems. Lying at the junction of two biogeographic realms, this land exhibits properties of the temperate Palearctic and tropical Indo-Malayan, which together with extreme variation in climate and altitude, contribute to a mosaic of habitats and rich assemblage of species.

Our tour takes us on a journey from east to west on a comprehensive exploration of this fascinating country. We will encounter an array of regional specialties across the altitudinal gradients, including species such as White-bellied Heron, Blood Pheasant, Satyr Tragopan, Himalayan Monal, Ward’s Trogon, Beautiful Nuthatch, Yellow-rumped Honeyguide, and a selection of wren-babblers, scimitar-babblers, laughingthrushes, and many more.
