The benefits of mountain biking with your kids go well beyond just being a terrific way to get them outside and in touch with nature.

The Up and down hills of The Land Of The Thunder Dragon will surely entice you and your child to get a sense of adventure in the Himalayan kingdom.
It will be an opportunity for you to appreciate your child’s physical natural gifts, inspire them with a few stunts along the carriageway, and re-connect through an activity everybody cherishes.

2. Calming Therapeutic Hike In the Highlands
While some believe that after they hit parenthood, their days of exploring are “over,” that is simply not true!
There are so many exciting adventures to look forward to, create wonderful memories and connect with your kids, and Bhutan is the place that can help you fulfill all of the above.
There will be countless family getaways and vacation spots when you spend time on the Gangtey Nature Trail in Phobjikha.

Do not miss out on the extraordinary trip to the Crane Information Centre to learn and teach your children more about the majestic black-necked crane and its significance to the valley.
3. Takin, A Mystical Creature In The Woods
A trip to the zoo was one of the best family vacations a child could have.
But with technology and workload on the rise, most families find it challenging to take time and plan a tour.
However, if they view it from a child’s perspective who is curious to know about animals and wildlife, taking time to plan a trip will definitely bring joy to their heart.
The fable credited to the folk hero Drukpa Kunley is the foundation for the takin’s classification as Bhutan’s national animal.
According to legend, this Tantric teacher was requested to perform a miracle after a feast by disciples in the 16th century.
Drukpa Kunley created a new species from a collection of cow and goat bones by grafting a goat head onto a cow’s body.
Spending time with your child to learn about the history behind the animal and observe these rare species will give your child a new dimension of perceiving and delivering stories.
4. The Secrets Lie Behind The Walls
Bhutan, one of the hidden gems in the world, is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty and unexplored Himalayan ranges.
But that is not all; the country is home to some incredible monasteries that will provide your family with the spiritual peace they deserve. Besides being just gorgeous, these monasteries are as enigmatic as they can get.
Your children can delve into the history and heritage of this magnificent country and learn about Buddhism, our way of life, and how our country became one.
The legends and stories will give your child’s curiosity and imagination a new light.
5. The Act Of Kindness At School

As a Buddhist Country, Bhutan believes in the philosophy of Karma. You get what you give. Instilling this belief in children’s minds will allow them to act kindly.
We believe that involving children in the process of fundraising is key to learning and understanding the concept of becoming a philanthropist and being the future generation that cares for and nurtures developing countries like Bhutan.
6. Seeing Through The Eyes Of Children
Many families travel the world and still provide their children with an excellent education.
But for some, the idea of traveling with kids gives them chills. But to assure you, the downsides of traveling with children are way lesser than you think.
Traveling with your children will allow you to see and imagine things you normally wouldn’t if you travel alone.
Your kid’s young mind has many optimistic ideas and thoughts that can give new dimensions to your perception of life.
Traveling as a family will not only educate your child but will also allow you to know about living life carefree.
There are many fun and exciting things to do in Bhutan. You can bike, hike, walk and jog with your children and get a chance to feel young again.
7. Be At Home Away From Home
More and more travelers are looking for more authentic tourism experiences, and where better to experience true local culture than in people’s homes?
We all know home is so much more about “who” than “what,” which is why staying with a real family can be so impactful.
It directly immerses you into local life and allows you to interact with communities in ways that aren’t possible otherwise.
Homestays in Bhutan will provide you with hospitality and facilities that will make you a part of a Bhutanese family.
There you can experience the Bhutanese lifestyle and daily work activities of our society.

The process of learning, experiencing, and bonding from the start of the trip till the end is what makes Bhutan truly a unique destination for families.
Families who travel together develop closer bonds, children acquire new experiences, and adults develop a more profound respect for their surroundings.
