Why book your luxury Bhutan holiday with us

Time slows down and the land unfolds in layers of breathtaking beauty on a luxury Bhutan holiday. This magical kingdom has provided the backdrop for numerous small group journeys hosted by our founder, Henrietta Loyd. With more than 20 years of experience crafting tailor-made trips to Bhutan and months spent exploring the country, we have developed the knowledge and connections to take you beyond the usual highlights. 

Experience Bhutan beyond its iconic dzongs and dramatic landscapes. Wake with monks for morning prayers before exploring artisan workshops, trek mountain trails or join colourful local festivals. Travel in private vehicles, stay in exclusive lodges and savour locally sourced Bhutanese cuisine prepared by skilled chefs.

What our clients say

You arranged the perfect trip for us in Bhutan. I mean it – the first few days were surreal, utterly beautiful and got us in the spiritual space. We were perfectly content with spartan, out of season conditions, but then the scales were pulled back from our eyes and my God we entered pampered comfort like I have never known. It was all a dream come true. The total stars were our guides Jigme and Sige. We hung on their every word.

One of your earliest remarks I remember was, “Any holiday in Bhutan is only as good as the guide you have.” And in Jigme you have a complete star, there can be none better than he. Apart from his boundless knowledge, he has a good sense of humour and well-tuned antennae to judge our culture bar, and is unusually clever at knowing when to talk and when to shut up.

I researched a lot before going to Bhutan (it was my first trip to such an exotic destination, so I was tense!) and ended up deciding to travel with cazenove+loyd, an English agency specialising in making well-personalised itineraries in different destinations. What fascinated me was that we had very close contact with the agent, and she seemed to know EVERYTHING about Bhutan and to love the country. This made us feel safer and more excited! Well, the choice could not have been better: the trip was perfect, nothing went wrong and the guides were amazing.

Extremely professional, helpful and friendly service with all the questions I had about every aspect of the group travel to Bhutan. Always really quick in answering emails or getting back to me by telephone. Beautifully organised with everything from flights, hotels and an incredibly knowledgeable and fun guide and excellent driver in Bhutan taken care of. It was one of the best and most interesting trips I have ever taken. I will definitely be booking through cazenove+loyd again! A big THANK YOU to all the team and especially Vienna for her expertise and patience in answering all my queries.

Expertly organised logistics for travel to Bhutan via Kathmandu. Superb hotels and smooth transfers at each point. A group of like-minded people on the small group trip to Bhutan (12 people) who have become new friends. Fun, elegant (a trekking holiday with elegant accommodation) and jam-packed days with early starts to enable the best time to visit dzongs and other must-see parts of Bhutan. The guide and our driver for the whole eight days were experienced and fun to be with. Relaxation time at the super hotels and good food. I would certainly use cazenove+loyd again. Our host, Henrietta Loyd, who joined us on the trip, expertly navigated all events and ensured she was available at all times for any concerns.
