The Offbeat Tracks team with their ‘Bhutan partners Bhutan Maitreya Tusita Travel’ during their FAM trip to Bhutan in January 2025. It has been a pleasure collaborating with them and crafting immersive and culturally rich travel experiences for guests who travel to Bhutan. We are glad that we got to learn and dig deeper into the traditions and religious significance of Buddhism in the country with the expertise and guidance of Mr. Migmar Dorjee who is the head of the BMTT company. We hope to curate many for such trips and vacations for our guests in the future and look forward to yet another successful year in Bhutan!

When you travel with Offbeat Tracks, you are embarking on a journey that not only creates lasting memories but also gives back to the communities that make your travels special. Your impact is multifaceted, touching the lives of locals and supporting sustainable practices. Staying in family-run properties is one significant way your travel makes a difference. These properties rely on responsible tourists like you to provide the resources they need for the rest of the year. Your stay helps them build a foundation for a sustainable future, ensuring that they can continue to operate and preserve their way of life. Additionally, by opting to travel with local guides and experts, you contribute to the local economy by generating employment opportunities. These guides offer you the most authentic and accurate information about their regions, which are often misrepresented or appropriated by outsiders. Your choice to support local expertise enriches your travel experience and fosters economic stability within these communities. Choosing to explore lesser-known areas rather than sticking to major cities allows you to paint a more holistic picture of a region. This approach helps distribute the economic benefits of tourism more evenly, supporting local businesses and encouraging the preservation of unique cultural and natural landscapes. By venturing off the beaten path, you contribute to a broader understanding and appreciation of the region. Furthermore, Offbeat Tracks is committed to empowering women in the travel industry. Women are often relegated to the unorganized sector and face barriers in more structured roles. With 85% of our employees being women, your travels with us help promote gender equality and provide these women with opportunities for professional growth and development. By supporting Offbeat Tracks, you play a part in changing the dynamics of the travel industry, making it more inclusive and equitable. Our heartfelt gratitude to all the guests who travelled with us this year, we are glad that we could curate amazing travel experiences for you ♥️

Our guests participating in the Buddhist ritual of lighting Butter Lamps in Bhutan. Butter lamps, found throughout many monasteries and temples in the Himalayan region is more than just a ‘tool’ to illuminate a place. In fact, the lighting of butter lamps is an act rich in symbolism in Buddhism. Traditionally lit using yak butter, is a unique ritual. Offerings of prayers after the lighting of butter lamps is an integral part of Buddhist tradition. In Bhutan, the marmey moenlam is the most popular of all prayers in which one’s merits are dedicated to all other sentient beings, for their liberation from darkness. This simple act is also much cherished by the Bhutanese as an offering to the Buddha. As they light a butter lamp, they recite and pray for all sentient beings as follows: “As I lit this butter lamp I am lighting a wisdom for the world, I am dispelling the darkness of the world by dispelling the darkness in this room.” Information courtesy: Daily Bhutan

An annual event held from the 1st to the 10th of December, organised by the state departments of tourism, arts, and culture, the Hornbill Festival was initially held in the year 2000. This year’s theme as decided by the Department of Art and Culture is “Cultural Connect”. A tourism event aimed to protect, preserve, revive, and nourish Nagaland’s aesthetic and folk abundance, it captures the pivotal elements of the primary tribes and sub-tribes of the region, under one roof. It offers a unique introduction to the state’s rich diversity. The secondary objective of the festival was to encourage inter-tribal exchanges. Additionally, the festival helps promote tourism in Nagaland, with tourists experiencing a slice of Naga life through food, dance, music, and customs. Furthermore, distressing statistics reflected the growing danger of the venerated hornbill being endangered, raising an alarm for the local people. The Hornbill Festival pays a rich tribute to the much-admired bird. To know more about the history and significance of this festival, check out our travel blog.
