Pack your boots and raincoats and explore Bhutan’s dazzling botanical splendor! The heavy rains of July make this the perfect time to experience the multitude of flowers and vines of Bhutan. We start off hiking to Chelela Pass, home to 16 species of rhododendrons. We will delve into several of the area’s national parks, including Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Park, where an astounding number of exotic orchids bloom, among them dendrobium, cymbidium, bulbophyllum, calanthe and goodyera. Thrumshingla National Park offers even more to explore—with the possibility of encountering red panda along with the flowers.
