MEANING OF
WIND HORSE
One of the prayer flags, popular in the Himalayas and other Tibetan Buddhist practicing
regions, is called "Lungta" - meaning Wind Horse. Hundreds of these flags can be
seen flying atop and around homes, mountain passes hills, bridges, monasteries and
temples. These flags are hoisted to entreat the mythological Wind Horse to bestow good
fortune, remove obstacles and bring peace to all living beings.

OUR TREKS
Our treks operate according to the highest environmental standards; for one, it is a
strict company policy to remove all rubbish en-route. The less used routes are chosen so
as to preserve the natural environment and to give the guest the opportunity to experience
the peace and serenity of Bhutan.
The company can
arrange quite a large variety of diets including those for vegetarians and diabetic
travelers
OUR TOURS
Touring with Wind Horse combines an adventure of both the mind and the body. Generally we
combine our tours with short treks or long treks (and walks for less energetic and aged
ones). For others who not like physical exercises, we provide cultural trips for those
keen on exploring Bhutan’s artistic, religious & cultural heritage, and nature
adventures such as bird, animal and flower watching, sightseeing and trips to
country’s prized parks and sanctuaries for nature lovers. Wind Horse will also be
glad to arrange tailor-made programs for its’ clients.

the license issued by the Department of Tourism, Royal Govt. of Bhutan. The Department of
Tourism’s role is to regulate the tourism industry, in particular to frame policy

As a rule, all
monetary transactions are approved by the Department for release only after the tour is
