Bhutan Soul Travel (BST), the Bhutan-based travel company founded by Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary founder Louk Lennaerts, is relaunching with Bhutan À La Carte, a new approach to discovering the Kingdom that puts the traveller at the centre of the journey.
Designed for discerning travellers seeking a more personal and meaningful experience of Bhutan, Bhutan À La Carte moves beyond traditional packaged itineraries to create individually tailored journeys shaped around each traveller’s interests, pace and priorities. Whether that is local culture, wellness, nature, food, arts and fashion, spirituality, social or mindfulness experiences. BHUTAN A LA CARTE A NEW WAY TO …
From immersive cultural encounters and ancient monasteries to Himalayan landscapes, remote valleys, local cuisine, spiritual experiences and outdoor adventures, every journey can be designed differently. Travellers can choose to explore Bhutan’s iconic highlights or venture further off the well-trodden route, with itineraries created to allow time to connect with the country rather than simply pass through it.
“Bhutan is not a destination that should be experienced from a checklist,” says Louk Lennaerts, founder of Bhutan Soul Travel. “It is a country that reveals itself slowly. Bhutan À La Carte is about creating journeys that reflect the individual traveller, allowing them to discover Bhutan in their own way, at their own pace, while experiencing the culture, nature and people that make this kingdom so extraordinary.”
A different way to discover Bhutan:
Bhutan remains one of the world’s most distinctive travel destinations, where dramatic Himalayan landscapes, ancient Buddhist traditions, richly preserved culture and a strong commitment to environmental sustainability come together.
The country’s philosophy of High Value, Low Volume tourism emphasizes meaningful, responsible travel rather than mass tourism. This approach has helped protect Bhutan’s natural environment, cultural heritage and unique identity while creating opportunities for travellers to experience a destination that remains remarkably authentic.
Bhutan À La Carte offers the opportunity to go beyond the traditional highlights. A journey might combine the country’s best-known cultural landmarks with time in lesser-visited valleys, village experiences, Himalayan hikes, wellness and mindfulness, gastronomy, textiles, architecture or encounters with local communities.

Bhutan À La Carte has been created to make those possibilities easier to access, with the knowledge and local relationships required to build journeys around what genuinely interests each traveller.
From wellness to wider Bhutan:
While Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary (BSS) and Bhutan Soul Travel (BST) are separate business units, they share a common connection through their founder, Louk Lennaerts, whose long-standing involvement in Bhutan has provided a deep understanding of the destination and its people.
Bhutan À La Carte is designed for travellers who want more than a conventional holiday: those looking for authentic experiences, thoughtful pacing and the freedom to shape their own Bhutan story.
Whether the inspiration is spirituality, nature, adventure, culture, food, photography, architecture, wellness or simply the desire to disconnect from the everyday, Bhutan À La Carte will create an itinerary around the traveller rather than asking the traveller to fit into a fixed programme.
