Our CSR pledge · One Million Trees
Every journey plants trees in Bhutan
We reinvest 2% of every tour at The Happiness Farm to plant one million trees, offsetting your travel footprint and greening the earth. Want to do more? Join the world’s first Tree Membership: adopt a fruit tree, and we donate its harvest to charity.
