Join Atlas Obscura Adventures as we travel across this long-isolated nation nestled amidst the slopes of the world’s greatest mountain range. Experience one of Bhutan’s famous festivals; meet artisans, monks, farmers, and astrologers; stroll amidst lush, unspoiled landscapes; and visit the striking Taktsang Lhakhang, the cliffside Buddhist temple known as the “Tiger’s Nest,” set 2,000 feet above the Paro Valley’s floor.

We think Pakistan deserves more attention as a travel destination. From Lahore’s extravagant gardens to the ancient ruins of the Indus Valley Civilization’s great cities and Karachi’s coastal cuisine, there’s more to explore than is possible on one trip. But our 13-day tour still manages to pack quite a lot in—live dhol music in Lahore, cooking classes and ceramic workshops with local families and artisans, visits to stunning UNESCO World Heritage sites, and much more.

🤫 Want in on a secret? Though its cuisine is all-too-often overlooked, the Caucasus region—home to Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia—has some of the most delicious food on the planet. We designed our group trip to the Caucasus as a way to explore the region’s fascinating history, otherworldly national parks, and fairytale mountain villages, but quickly realized that there was delicious food and wine at practically every turn.

🍴Join our trip to enjoy wine tastings, bread-baking workshops, an outdoor feast of wild foods in an alpine forest, a meal at a former Soviet canteen that now serves some of Armenia’s most progressive cuisine, and of course khachapuri—the famous Georgian dish that takes the “cheese pull” to a whole new level.

🍹 You’ve probably tried mezcal—the smoky cousin to tequila that’s perhaps Oaxaca’s most famous export—but have you ever tasted pozontle? Join our trip to Oaxaca and you’ll get to try it at a tiny mom-and-pop pozontlería hidden inside a farmer’s market. The refreshing, lightly sweet blend of cacao, corn, the cocolmecatl vine, water, and panela is a ceremonial drink from Oaxaca’s Sierra Norte region, and it’s just one of the many delicious things you’ll get to taste as we explore the region’s incredibly rich culinary scene.
