Small Group Trip with Mark to Bhutan October 2027 including the Teshechu Festival in Gangtey

Bhutan doesn't reveal itself quickly. It asks something of you — a willingness to slow down, look closely, and travel with genuine intention. In return, it offers something rare: a country where ancient culture is not a backdrop but a living, breathing reality, where the mountains are sacred, and where happiness is taken seriously as a measure of national success.

This ten-night journey is timed around the Tsechu Festival in Gangtey — one of Bhutan's most extraordinary cultural celebrations, a centuries-old gathering of masked dances, monastic rituals, and community devotion that few visitors ever witness. We will be there for it.

What to expect

• The Tsechu Festival in Gangtey — a rare window into Bhutan's living spiritual traditions, experienced with a small, unhurried group
• A deliberate journey through four of the kingdom's most distinct landscapes: the Paro Valley, the high-altitude Gangtey plateau, the lush Punakha Valley, and back to Paro's ancient heart
• Accommodations chosen for their sense of place — including Taj Gangtey Resort & Spa, COMO Uma Punakha, and Taj Paro Resort & Spa
• Guided by a trusted local team and accompanied throughout by Mark — with the full support of Mando Travel's Air Desk before and during the trip
• No more than ten guests — intimate by design, never by accident
