We love championing under-the-radar countries, and our Asia specialist, Frances, took the road less travelled on a research trip to Bhutan. Far from the tourist bustle, Frances got stuck into Bhutanese traditions such as archery, stretched her legs on beautiful hikes and soaked sore muscles afterwards in heavenly hot stone baths. She left the country with a deep love for it and brimming with tips and tricks to elevate your stay.

Bhutan is a pioneer in sustainability. Not only was it the world’s first carbon-negative country, but this tiny Buddhist kingdom, nestled in the Himalayas between Tibet and India, is committed to the well-being of its civilians and environment above all else. Bhutan’s philosophy is based on Gross National Happiness (GNH), an index devised in the 1970s by the fourth king of Bhutan. Measuring 33 indicators including sustainable socio-economic development, cultural preservation and environmental conservation, it’s no wonder that Bhutan leads the charge in responsible tourism.

With its dramatic landscapes that include everything from subtropical plains to steep mountains and valleys, Bhutan is a seriously dreamy destination when it comes to hiking holidays. And while the Bhutanese Himalayas may be home to the highest unclimbed mountain in the world, Gangkhar Puensum, there are a number of more accessible trails that criss-cross the stunning countryside and can be completed in a day.

Taj Tashi This seven-storey structure is a welcome addition to the emerging kingdom's small capital city. The elegant rooms - the smallest of which measure 450 square feet - are a haven, with high ceilings, dark-brown lacquered wood floors, walls mounted with mandalas, heated floors in bathrooms, and cushioned daybeds from which to gawk at the Himalayas. Early-morning risers may catch sight of the monk who chants prayers in the outdoor courtyard, also where traditional dancers perform most nights around the sunken fire pit.
