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. |
