Getaways for the Brokenhearted
 
Break ups can be tough and most of us probably have or will experience heartbreak at one point in our lives. Everyone has their own way of coping with a break-up. Some bury their sorrows in sad song playlists on repeat, some drown their aching heart in booze, and many chose to travel. The idea of solo travel might be scary at first, but it is a great opportunity to pick yourself up and start moving forward.
 
Whether to embark on a spiritual journey or embrace the beauty of mother nature, now the choice is yours and yours alone. So, it's time to set your spirit free, dry off those tears, pack your bags, and start your journey into the destinations we select for you.

Let the healing power of Bhutan's wonders heal you! Visit the country at the heart of the Himalayas where you will spiritually connect with your inner-self, Bhutanese religion and their way of life.

Soak up the positive energy from the Kingdom that is often called the happiest country in the world. We urge you to explore the villages to see the nature of Bhutanese hospitality and the positive thinking way of life. If you need guidance, visit a Buddhist lama for a spiritual talk.
