“We at BhutanTravelAgency have been inundated with special travel requests from all over the world,says Lakey Wangmo, CEO and founder of Yetis&Dragons Bhutan Travel Agency, who is herself very excited about the upcoming royal wedding. “Our beloved King has chosen to marry one of us and not someone from a far away land,she adds with much fervor and a dose of enthusiasm thrown in.

The Magic of Bhutan and the Royal Wedding

The company has announced two full-service Bhutan tour packages which match both the spirit and the ambience of the much-awaited occasion. Both packages are specially designed around the time of the royal wedding with a view to maximizing the guest experience of the royal wedding which will take place in the month of October 2011.

Royal Wedding Enchantment

The first package, appropriately named Royal Wedding Enchantment, is a basic week-long tour of Bhutan centered around the capital city and its surrounding areas. Guests will be provided opportunities to participate in the wedding festivities organised by the locals as a gesture of their love&affection towards the king. Arrangements are being made for the company’s guests to witness the festivities around in full color, these festivities can be local festivals, mass gatherings for showing the respect to the king, groups meeting&singing in happiness, all in all events which are born out of immense joy which every Bhutanese has already started to feel. As soon as the wedding is solemnized, guests will depart on a whirlwind tour of the country and visit many of its temples, fortresses and monasteries located in different cities, and thereby witness festivities in various parts of Bhutan.

Royal Wedding Paramount

The Paramount package is a comprehensive 13-day deluxe luxury tour of the country which provides guests with a unique and unprecedented opportunity to first experience the festivities in the city where the royal wedding will be held in full splendor and then visits several major cities in the country in the aftermath of the royal wedding. The travel itinerary includes visits to Punakha, the former capital, the Bhumtang Valley and the Trongsa district.

Other star attractions of both the 7-day and the 13-day package include:

  • Chauffeur-driven private automobile or small luxury mini bus
  • English-speaking tour guides and every possible royal wedding commentary
  • Prices inclusive of luxury western-style hotel rooms based on double occupancy, three meals and snacks, evening outing and bar hopping too
  • Plenty of “metime woven into the itinerary for R&R, shopping and walks around town
  • Special activities for children visiting with their parents including the wearing of traditional and colorful Bhutanese costumes on special wedding days
  • Airport pick-up, drop-off and hotel transfers included

    Since Bhutan has limited air connectivity with the rest of the world and a huge demand for airline tickets during this period is anticipated, Bhutan Travel Agency recommends that Festive attendees book their Bhutan wedding packages well in advance. Paro International Airport is Bhutan’s only international airport and is serviced exclusively by Druk Air which is Bhutan’s National flag carrier and connects Bhutan to India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Thailand via regular flights.
