Bhutan - Heart of the Dragon
Questions? Call us: 1-866-549-7614
The Kingdom of Bhutan is probably the most mysterious of all the Himalayan Kingdoms. It lies landlocked in the eastern Himalayas between Nepal and India, amidst the highest mountains in the world. It is a land of diverse contrasts, with beautiful forests of rhodedendrons, pine and cedar, rugged mountains, lush valleys, and lakes teeming with trout. This trip gives you an insight into the deep cultural heritage of Bhutan, combined with a six day trek. We explore some of the monasteries and ancient fortresses (dzongs) of Paro and the capital Thimphu, and enter the beautiful Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest), which clings precariously to the rock cliff. Our trek takes us along trails leading high above the valleys, crossing the chain of mountains that separates the valleys of Paro and Thimphu. We trek through thick alpine and rhodedendron forests and along remote trails, encounter yak herders establishing camps, and marvel at the spectacular backdrop of the beautiful Himalayan mountains.
