Trips Built Around You
No fixed itineraries here. Tell us when you want to go, what you want to see, and how fast you like to walk. We shape everything around your pace and preferences.
Comfort in the Wild
Hot meals cooked fresh at every camp, warm sleeping gear rated for altitude, and dining tents that feel like a refuge after a long day on the trail.
Guides Who Know Every Turn
Our team grew up in these mountains. They know the shortcuts, the hidden viewpoints, and the stories behind every monastery and prayer flag along the way.
You Are in Safe Hands
Licensed by the Department of Tourism (DoT), trained in altitude safety, and always carrying a satellite phone. Your wellbeing is never left to chance.
Your Bhutan, Through Our Eyes
Mipham Happiness Tours and Treks is a proudly Bhutanese team of guides, storytellers, and mountain lovers. We grew up in the shadow of these peaks, learned our craft on the same trails we now share with travellers from around the world.
We believe the real Bhutan lives in the quiet moments — a monastery at dawn, a shared meal in a farmhouse, a pass that opens onto a view you will never forget. Our job is to take you there.
Our Story
Four Reasons Travellers Choose Us
Local Expertise
Every guide on our team is Bhutanese-born and government-licensed. They don't just know the trail — they know the culture, the wildlife, and the weather patterns that shape each day.
Zero Hassle
Visas, permits, internal flights, hotel bookings, pack horses — we sort it all before you land. You show up and walk; we handle the logistics behind the scenes.
Flexible by Design
Want to add a rest day at a hot spring? Skip ahead to the next valley? Every itinerary bends to fit your energy and curiosity, not the other way around.
Tread Lightly
We pack out what we pack in, hire from local villages, and cap group sizes at eight. The mountains were here long before us, and we intend to keep them that way.
In Their Own Words
I have trekked in Nepal, Patagonia, and the Alps, but nothing prepared me for Bhutan. The trails are pristine, the camps were genuinely comfortable, and our guide Tshering turned every lunchbreak into a history lesson I actually wanted to hear.
We came for the Tiger's Nest and stayed for everything else. The Jomolhari base camp at sunrise is something I still think about months later. Mipham's team made the whole thing feel effortless.
What surprised me most was the food. Proper hot dinners at 4,000 metres, fresh vegetables, even cake on my birthday. The logistics behind that kind of operation in the middle of nowhere are seriously impressive.
Travelling solo in a new country can be daunting, but from the moment I landed in Paro I felt looked after. My guide adapted the itinerary when I wanted to spend longer in Punakha, and never once made me feel rushed.
We brought our two teenagers and were worried they would be bored. Wrong. They bonded with the horseman, learned to cook ema datshi, and haven't stopped talking about the trip since. This was a family holiday done right.
