Takchu Travels

Takchu Travels is a local Bhutan travel company deeply rooted in the heart of the Kingdom. We specialize in crafting exceptional Bhutan tours and treks and personalized customized Bhutan tours, offering an authentic and enriching experience unlike any other.

Our reason for being is to champion Bhutan ecotourism and make a tangible difference in how tourism is promoted and operated here. We witnessed a need for a stronger commitment to sustainability, truly echoing Bhutan's philosophy of Gross National Happiness (GNH) and His Majesty's vision for responsible growth. Unlike many large, often foreign-based tour operators, our focus is firmly on ethical and environmentally conscious practices.

We believe in the power of local-led tour guides. Our experienced Bhutanese guides are not just knowledgeable; they are passionate storytellers, deeply connected to their culture and land, offering unparalleled insights you won't find elsewhere. By choosing Takchu Travels, you directly support local businesses and communities, ensuring that the economic benefits of Bhutan travel stay within Bhutan – a stark contrast to the revenue often channeled overseas by larger, foreign-owned companies.

From assisting with your Bhutan visa to designing mindful itineraries that include challenging Bhutan treks and culturally immersive Bhutan tours, we are dedicated to providing better results. We strive to offer a genuine taste of Bhutan, guided by those who call it home, all while minimizing our environmental footprint. For authentic Bhutan traveling tips and to support local enterprise while exploring the wonders of Bhutan eco-tourism, choose Takchu Travels for your unforgettable journey.
