Rafting in Bhutan

/-

Bhutan’s exquisite natural wonders include not only high mountain passes, but also frothy rivers, ideal for the adventure traveller. Expect this to be a year all round itinerary, which offers a thrilling time in Bhutan’s rivers with Grade 2 and 3 rapids. Along with that one also gets time to see the countryside, local life and the spiritual Dzongs on the way. The best part is the three whole days dedicated to the excitement of bobbing down a river in the raft.
