Explore and Experience Bhutan -
Land of the Thunder Dragon
Bhutan
is land locked Himalayan Kingdom is bordered by
Tibet, China, India, near Nepal and Bangladesh
with limited access points. It’s known as the
Land of Thunder Dragon, which is covers about
47000 sq. kilometers. The unique and exotic
country has a gigantic staircase from a narrow
strip of land in the south, while the northern
belt is stretched between elevations of 300m to
more than 7000m in the Himalayas.
There are 3 distinct regions from west to east
to consider in planning your trip. Each offers
its own special treats. The west is famous for
its beautiful mountains and fertile valleys,
colourful houses, historic sites and museums at
the towns of Thimphu, Paro and Punakha. A number
of day hikes are possible in this area as well
as a number of treks of varying lengths. Central
Bhutan offers walking opportunities in the
stunning Bumthang valleys and the chance to
visit many important religious sites including
the important historic town of Trongsa,
ancestral seat of Bhutan's ruling dynasty.
Although it is the most densely populated area
of Bhutan, the eastern region is also the least
visited by foreigners. Tourist facilities are
far more primitive than in western and central
Bhutan and you need to be prepared for a lack of
hot water and western toilets. However if you
have the time to travel east it is well worth
the effort, with its remote valleys, temperate
climate, monasteries and tradition of stunning
craftsmanship in woodwork and exquisite
hand-woven textiles.
Whether you come to Bhutan for the culture,
trekking and mountaineering, arts and
architecture, festivals, dance and music,
landscapes, spirituality, Buddhism, flora and
fauna, people, history or just to get away from
the rest of world… we would like to make your
visit the trip of a lifetime! Do not miss this
once-in-a-life time journey to this mystical
Himalayan kingdom, internationally branded as
the Last Shangri-La and the land of happiness.
Embracing the popular adage that seeing and
believing, please come visit us and see things
with your own eyes.
