Bhutan Cultural Tour
Bhutan often revered as the "land of the Peaceful Dragon"
regarded as one of the last Shangri-La in the Himalayan
region because of it's remoteness, it's spectacular mountain
terrain, varied flora and fauna and it's unique ancient
Buddhist monasteries. It is one of the reactively unexplored
pockets of Asia which allow only limited number of
discerning travelers to enter the country with a special
visa permits.
Bhutan's isolation has resulted in its culture and
traditional remaining much the same for many hundreds of
years. Our introductory 8 days Western Bhutan Culture tour
will be through the stunning beautiful alpine valley's
flanked by steep slopes and terraced pastures dotted with
temple. The highlight of tour will be visits to Simtokha
Dzong within the tiny capital township of Thimpu and the
Taktsang Monastery that clings to a sheer 3,000 foot rock
face cliffs.
Festival (Tscechus) are held in Bhutan throughout the year
at different locations. These festivals are celebration of
faith, legends, myths and history of Bhutanese in ancient
rituals of colorful dance and music. To co-incide a visit to
Bhutan during the festive season would be an added bonus and
even better way to observe the unique culture
