Bhutan Cultural Tour |
|
Far East 16 nights / 17 days |
|
This trip is designed for those who are
interested in seeing a greater part of the country. The tour
provides an insight into the remoteness of the country’s Far
East, where development is minimal due to the high passes
and terrain. Your visit will feature an authentic look at
the Bhutanese lifestyle. You will see firsthand and up close
how people live and work.
The East is famous for hand woven
textiles, known as Khushu Thakra. Every household has a
weaving loom. Weaving is usually done in winter when there
is less agricultural work. Other trip highlights include the
Khaling Weaving Center, school for the blind and the
Kanglung College, called Sherubtse, which is currently the
only University in Bhutan.

Mythical Central Bhutan
11 nights / 12 days |
|
This
central Bhutan tour will take you deep into the heart of the
beautiful Bumthang valley, considered the Switzerland of
Bhutan. Our route crosses three high mountains passes:
Dochula at 3100m, Pelela at 3300m and Yotongla, the highest
at 3400m.
Bumthang is considered to be the spiritual home of the
Bhutanese people. The entire Bumthang valley is dotted with
some of the oldest historical monuments and Nyes (sacred
places) in all of Bhutan, some dating back to the 7th
century A.D., a period of which there is little modern
knowledge.
This tour also travels to Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, Wangdue
and Trongsa. Besides these destinations, we also include
highlights such as a visit to the Gangtey valley to spot the
black-necked crane. This rare bird is an endangered species
which migrates in winter from the plateau of Tibet and
Siberia. Another visit features the Kuenga Rabten Palace, a
ruling home of Bhutan’s second King, Jigme Wangchuk, for a
decade. [Detailed Itinerary] |
