Bhutan Cultural Tour

A small Himalayan nation, Bhutan is flanked between the Asian giants India and China. Bhutan is famous to the outer world for its immense Buddhist culture and a primitive lifestyle that is perfectly nestled in the growing urbanization. The Bhutan Cultural Tour in this culturally diverse nation will acquaint you with the ascetic lifestyle of the monks, greenery as far as the eye can see, and an amazing feeling of freshness and clarity.

Bhutan Cultural Tour commences from your arrival in Kathmandu and later getting on the flight and heading to Bhutan. As you arrive at Paro Airport, you’ll feel an amazing blast of fresh air and greenery. Head to the capital of Thimpu and marvel at the delightful sites in this city. Here, you’ll find a delicate balance between urbanization and culture. Thimpu consists of numerous landmarks like the Tashichho Dzong, Changangkha Lhakhang, and the Buddha Dordenma statue. These monuments provide the travelers with a brief insight into life in current Bhutan and the thousands of years of history it carries with it. Take some time to try delicious cuisine as well. A scenic drive through the Punakha valley along with dazzling scenery of Mt. Jomolhari (7326m) takes us to Trongsa. In Trongsa, we visit the Thrupang palace which stands out amidst the greenery.

Learn more about it as you interact with the locals here and don’t forget to take pictures! From Throngs, the scenic drive goes through the Kiki la pass and Yotong La pass until we arrive at Bumthang. This culturally rich town is basically a goldmine as it boasts many beautiful sights. Explore sights like the Jambey Lhakhang and Kurje Lhakhang and find meaning about Buddhism.
