Eloping in Bhutan:

If you seek a place to get lost in the moment, find peace, bask in panoramic views, gain wisdom, and experience rich cultural heritage, eloping in Bhutan may be your perfect place!  There is something to be said about being in the midst of the famed Himalayan mountain range.  A country where over 600 glacier outlets live alongside 1,000’s of glacier lakes!  Following suit, you’ll experience crazy shaped mountains, deep canyons spanning countryside 360 degree views.  Opportunities for shorter day hikes versus several days also lay at your feet.  Hello Bhutan hiking elopement!

Travelling to Bhutan… How do you get there? Well, you’ll need to take a flight to Paro Airport (PBH).  Major cities like Bangkok, Singapore, Kathmandu, Dhaka and New Delhi are all serviced by Drukair and Bhutan Airlines.  But a word of warning… This is not a place you just rent a car and go.  It’s a county-wide mandate that if you’re a foreigner exploring Bhutan, you must be accompanied by a licensed guide at all times (there are checkpoints where you will get caught if not).  On that same note, there are also restricted areas that require in advance permits.

As a result, if you love luxury hotels… We would love to share a favorite with you!  The hotel sits mountainside in Bhutan, Six Senses Bhutan.  It’s tagline even boasts, “the happiest place in the world” and we could not agree more!  Cannot quite picture yourself planning an adventure wedding or elopement in Bhutan?  Allow us to walk you through what Elopements in Nepal & Bhutan, and specifically a schedule based in Bhutan, might look like…
