Bangkok, Thailand - Backyard Travel today announced the addition of Bhutan to its portfolio of Asian destinations.

The online boutique travel agency specializing in unique, insider tours throughout Asia, today celebrate their launch by offering a 10% discount on every tour before the end of April 2015.

Perched high in the Eastern Himalayas, Bhutan is one of Asia's most beguiling kingdoms. Known for its proud dzong fortresses, towering peaks and lush valleys, this land-locked agrarian country offers travelers a uniquely serene and spiritual experience. The country's isolation from the rest of the world has helped it foster a distinct cultural identity, seemingly untouched by the ailments of modern life.

Bhutan's humble and warm people also make this an extraordinary destination as peace and happiness are valued over economic gain, and environmental conservation ensures an almost unearthly purity to its landscapes.

Backyard Travel's Bhutan launch comes just in time for 'Visit Bhutan 2015', celebrating the 60th birthday of the former King, Jigme Singye Wangchuck. Next year is set to be packed with extraordinary festivals and unforgettable events.

Backyard Travel are offering a range of unique tour options in Bhutan. These include the opportunity to see local village life in the spectacular Phobjikha Valley on their Bhutanese Adventure tour, and on their ten-day Quintessential Bhutan tour travelers gain a comprehensive overview of the kingdom's history and culture.

Their eight-day Camp, Trek Explore Bhutan tour showcases the Himalayan wilderness, as well as Bhutan's famous dzongs, and on their ten-day Prayer Flags over Bhutan: A Pilgrimage tour travelers will seek the counsel of monks, visit scared sites and have time for meditation and reflection.

Travelers can also choose to add unique experiences to their itineraries to create a truly bespoke journey, including live cultural performances of traditional Bhutanese song and dance. Travelers can also choose to hoist lung dhar - prayer flags into the Himalayan winds at the Tigers Nest Monastery, or they may want to witness an archery demonstration, giving a personalized glimpse into Bhutan's national sport.

“Bhutan has always been a singular destination – its spectacular landscapes and well-preserved heritage place it high on many travelers' must-visit list,” said Backyard Travel's General Manager, Maeve Nolan. “As Visit Bhutan 2015 approaches we can expect visitor demand to increase, so we advise travelers to secure their trip soon so as not to miss out on next year's special events.”
