PAR0, Bhutan, 7 October 2026: Bhutan Soul Travel, a Bhutan-based travel company founded by Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary founder Louk Lennaerts, relaunches with Bhutan À La Carte travel experiences.
It’s a notable return to market for BST, resuming operations after a pre-pandemic pause under a founder with deep, long-standing relationships in Bhutan.
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.
“Bhutan is not a destination that should be experienced from a checklist,” says Bhutan Soul Travel founderLouk Lennaerts. “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.”
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 emphasises 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.
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 seeking 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.
