Best birding, wildlife and cultural tour in Bhutan.
Bhutan is a small country nestled in Eastern Himalayas - a land of rhododendron forests, stunning panoramas and friendly Buddhist culture.
Bird watching in Bhutan is a sublime experience. Towns are very small and surrounded by untouched forests. There is very little traffic and the roads provide excellent opportunities to walk through what are surely the best-preserved forests anywhere in the Himalayas. On this trip we will see some 350 different birds, 12-15 mammal species and an amazing variety of butterflies and flowers.
There will also be time to see the amazing architecture, visit dzong’s, which blend the role of both fortress and monastery, and meet the friendly Bhutanese people. Overall, experience the unique culture of Bhutan, expanding your interests but not compromising your main objectives!
This itinerary has been designed to see the best of Bhutan, with a minimum of long-distance driving, and removing the need for camp.

I took a 16 day birding tour with Langur Eco Travels, and we traveled all over Bhutan seeing rainbow colored monal phesants, a great hornbill feeding its mate in a tree, jewel colored flycatchers, so many birds! I was a solo female traveler, but Namgay and Pema took such great care of my trip, it was a great time. No regrets, I'm sad to be leaving Bhutan!

The weather was pleasant for all 15 days of the tour. People are nice and eager to show off their country. We were a group of 9 birders and traveled in a comfortable Toyota bus, covering 12 of Bhutan's 20 provinces. The birds were spectacular - Parrotbills, Laughingthrushes, Sunbirds and knockout pheasants. Pleasant lodges, good food and fascinating culture.

From April 30 until May 10, 2024, I had the great pleasure of being part of a birding tour run by Langur Eco Travels and led by Chubsang Tangbi and his colleague, Jigme Tshering.
After having lead tours myself for 35 years to more than 30 countries, I recognized almost immediately that Chubsang was exceptional in his ability to find and show us the most difficult-to-see bird species in Bhutan. We had breathtaking and leisurely views of four pheasant species, Himalayan Monal, Kalij Pheasant, Blood Pheasant, and Satyr Tragopan at close range for photography. Cutia, Ibisbill, Ward’s Trogon and Honeyguide were a few of the 240 species seen on our final list.
Chubsang has exceptional hearing which allowed us to locate and see many elusive, low-density species.
The logistics for the trip were superb with excellent accommodations and food throughout. Our professional driver was helpful and efficient and we always felt safe while birding or driving on mountain roads. Although we concentrated on Bhutan's natural history, at our request Chubsang made time for a visit to Bhutan’s first and perhaps the most beautiful of the 22 ancient temple-fortresses or dzongs. Based on my experience I can recommend Chubsang and Langur Eco Tours without reservation for any natural history tour of Bhutan.
