An introduction to Bhutan. A short, flexible and relatively gentle tour, providing a general impression of the land, the people and the history. One of the most remarkable aspects of the country lies in how completely separated from the outer world it still appears. This brief stay will introduce many of Bhutan’s interesting contrasts and defining characteristics. In a situation that is so completely different from the familiar, tiny spontaneous moments become treasured personal memories.
The trip covers the highlights of western Bhutan: Paro, Thimphu and Punakha. The overwhelming natural tranquility is emphasized as the road snakes through valleys and over mountain passes. Fortress-monasteries stand as powerful symbols of the nation’s history. You can visit simple village communities and ancient temples, meeting with and taking part in daily lives and traditions. Go to a museum and then watch craftspeople at work - painting, carving and making silver objects. As you travel around you will witness Bhutanese daily life proceeding, undistracted by your being there.
