Nature Tourism-Bhutan is grassroots Bhutanese ecological and cultural tour operator with strong appreciation and understanding of international clients and their travel interests.

We offer tailor-made itineraries to meet individual agendas - from birdwatching and botanical tours to trekkinng, walking, and mountain biking to culture festivals, art and architecture.

Art and Architecture in Bhutan is known for its originality and harmonious proportions. Built around the 6th and 7th centuries, temples of Lhakhang Larpo, Nagpo in Haa, Kyichu near Paro and Jampa, Koebnchog-sum and Gayney Lhakhangs in Bumthang were the first recorded buildings representing the Art and Architecture of Bhutan.

Environmental Environmental conservation is a central philosophy for our business. It is a basic requirement that we minimize our environmental impact and support sustainable tourism at the destinations we visit.• Reduce, reuse, recycle – We encourage staff to reuse paper, recycle, and adopt energy efficiency measures. This philosophy applies to both business and personal lives. • Office based initiatives – As a web based business our staff work from home, and so avoid a daily commute. We use email communication for the majority of our internal and external communication, and other paperless methods of transacting such as net banking. We minimize our use of brochures by posting all information on our website, and avoid ‘glossy/junk mail’ advertising where possible; choosing very focused marketing methods and email instead. • We educate our clients that it is just as important to conserve water at their destination as it is at home. Our staff and guides adhere to water saving principles. •We adopt best-practice methods to minimize damage to the environment, wildlife and marine ecosystems we visit. We educate our clients and local suppliers about these methods and encourage them to follow them. • We support local community initiatives which promote environmental conservation, education and sustainable economic development. Where possible we arrange for our clients to visit this organization and encourage them to support them also.
