Located high amongst the mighty Himalayan range, the hidden Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan is a destination that even the most seasoned traveller considers a privelege to visit.
Having only opened its doors to tourism in 1974, it has remained relatively isolated from western influence enabling it to maintain its strong Buddhist heritage. Prayer flags flutter across mountains and rivers, and chortens stand at every corner. The people of Bhutan are friendly and united by their genuine spiritual belief. The awe-inspiring landscapes of snow-clad mountains, lush valleys, dense forests and rushing streams are considered to be the abodes of the gods by the nation’s people. Festivals (Tsechus) are an important part of life and are held throughout the year.
This unique destination has so much to offer, with tours ranging from an 8 day ‘glimpse’ to a 15 day journey across the country. All itineraries are flexible and can be easily tailored. Tours are accompanied by a driver and local English speaking guide, and you have the choice of staying in standard hotels and guesthouses or a range of boutique resorts. |
