Description

In Bhutan, Neykor—meaning a pilgrimage to sacred sites—is a profound spiritual practice. It involves visiting holy places to gain merit, cleanse negative karma, and receive blessings. More than just a physical journey, Neykor represents an inner transformation, often retracing the paths of enlightened masters such as Guru Rinpoche. Note: We would be happy to offer hotel upgrades based on your preference and comfort level. If you wish to stay in higher-category properties (such as premium 4-star or luxury hotels), we can arrange the upgrade for you. However, please note that any additional cost arising from the upgraded accommodation will need to be borne by the guest and will be added to the final package price accordingly.
