Wind Horse Ranch & Riding Club
Discover Bhutan on Horseback
Welcome to Wind Horse Ranch & Riding Club, a hidden gem in the heart of Bhutan, where horseback adventures meet the country’s serene rural charm. Located in the scenic Tang Valley of Bumthang and the breathtaking Phobjikha Valley of Gangtey, our ranches offer more than just rides—they provide a deep connection with nature, culture, and the timeless rhythms of Bhutanese village life.
Our Story
Born from a passion for horses, adventure, and the landscapes of Bhutan, Wind Horse Ranch was founded in 2012 on 10 acres of community-leased land in Tang Valley, Bumthang. What began as a humble endeavor has grown into a sanctuary for both horses and riders, complete with a panoramic outdoor riding arena and access to miles of scenic trails.
By 2018, growing interest from tour operators and hoteliers inspired us to establish a second location in the glacial valley of Phobjikha (Gangtey), expanding our vision to share the equestrian spirit with even more visitors.
Our mission isn’t driven by fame or profit, but by a deep-rooted commitment to enhancing rural tourism in Bhutan, supporting local communities, and promoting responsible, ethical treatment of animals and the environment.
