PILGRIMAGE TOURS
Bhutan is a Buddhist country and offers plenty of holy places and
shrines.
Dating back to the 7th century, the Kichu Temple in Paro and Jambay
Temple in Bumthang are a few of the many to see.
BIRD WATCHING
There are about 675 species of Birds in Bhutan and the list grows
longer each year. Given the density of forest cover and the steep
vertical descents, the road is often the best place from which to
watch the birds, as there is very less vehicular traffic. Recommended
sites include the stretch of road down from Dochu la to Wangduephodrang,
from Wangduephodrang to Nobding and before Trongsa. For those who
go east, the 2000 m. descent between Sungar and Limithang is spectacular
for bird watching. Trekking will provide you with a greater chance
of seeing high altitude birds at close range.
ALPINE FLOWERS AND BOTANICAL TOURS
60% of Bhutan is covered in forests of fir, conifers, temperate
and broadleaf species. It is also known as the land of medicinal
herbs and over 5000 species of plants are found in Bhutan. Some
alpine flowers include lichens, mosses, tiny rhododendrons, nivale,
edelweiss and varieties of primula. At the end of winter, the high
altitude grazing lands are carpeted with a multitude of wild flowers
and during the monsoons, even more vibrantly coloured flowers are
found. During early September, some varieties include anemones,
forget-me-nots, dwarf irises, dwarf rhododendrons, primulas, delphininums
and ramunculus.
