Bhutan
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.
