Adventure for All Ages
Create Meaningful Moments in the Land of the Dragons
Bhutan is an extraordinary classroom without walls. Beyond the breathtaking landscapes, it is a place where families can disconnect from screens and reconnect with each other through shared culture and gentle adventure. At Sonith Travels, we pride ourselves on being 100% child-friendly, ensuring that every itinerary is paced perfectly for little legs and curious minds.
Why Bhutan is Perfect for Families
Unlike fast-paced city holidays, Bhutan offers a "slow travel" experience that children naturally love. Our family tours focus on:
-
Interactive Culture: Instead of just looking at history, kids can try their hand at traditional archery (our national sport), participate in a mask-painting workshop, or learn to print their own prayer flags using ancient woodblocks.
-
Animal Encounters: Visit the Motithang Takin Preserve to see our unique national animal (the Takin) or spot the rare Black-Necked Cranes in the Phobjikha Valley.
-
Gentle Adventures: Walk across one of the world's longest suspension bridges in Punakha, or enjoy a family-friendly river rafting trip on the gentle currents of the Mo Chhu river.
-
The "Tiger’s Nest" Challenge: We arrange for ponies to help younger children halfway up the trail to the iconic Taktsang Monastery, making this legendary hike achievable for the whole family.
​
Family-First Comfort
We understand that traveling with children requires extra care. When you book a family tour with Sonith Travels, you can expect:
-
Spacious Accommodations: We prioritize hotels with family suites and safe, open green spaces for children to play.
-
Kid-Friendly Dining: While Bhutanese food is famous for its spice, we ensure every meal includes mild, delicious options (and familiar international favorites) that children will enjoy.
-
Flexible Pacing: Our private guides are experts at "reading the room." If the kids are tired, we pivot to a relaxing afternoon at a farmhouse or a shorter walk.
-
Safety First: Our vehicles are modern, comfortable, and driven by experienced professionals who prioritize your family’s safety on every mountain road.

Plan Your Family Escape
From colorful festivals that feel like living fairy tales to mountain air that refreshes the soul, Bhutan is the ultimate gift for your family.

Our guides are trained in first aid and altitude awareness, and we always carry oxygen and a well-stocked medical kit. Your family's well-being is our highest priority.
