Bhutan Culture 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
its remoteness, its spectacular mountain terrain,
varied flora and fauna and its 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 valleys 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) is held in Bhutan
throughout the year at different locations. These
festivals are celebration of faith, legends, myths
and history of Bhutanese in ancients rituals of colorful
dance and music. To co-inside a visit to Bhutan during
the festive season would be an added bonus and even
better way to observe the unique culture.
