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
