MyBhutan Offers Ultra-Private Luxury Camps in Bhutan's Hidden Lands

other · 2026-05-06

MyBhutan, a luxury travel designer, provides exclusive access to Bhutan's remote areas through its Sangwa collection of ultra-private hidden camps. Sangwa means 'hidden' or 'secret' in Dzongkha. These camps are located in previously unexplored lands, some settled by Bhutan's earliest inhabitants, with locations revealed only upon arrival. One example is Haa Sangwa, seen by less than 2% of visitors, home to the Lhop community since the 8th century. Guests stay in traditional yak tents handmade by nomadic highlanders and engage in activities like sunrise yoga, foraging, sacred dances, and night wildlife tracking. Bhutan, on the eastern edge of the Himalayas, opened to tourists in the 1970s and limits tourism via a high daily fee to preserve its culture and environment, which is about 70% forested.
