Heading south into the lowland Terai region, we then spend 2 nights at a jungle lodge at Chitwan where we can sample some of the ‘jungle activities’ and spot some of the wildlife that this popular reserve is known for.

Many years of isolation have left the Kingdom of the Thunder Dragon a unique place. The towns of Bhutan are dominated by enormous monastery-fortresses, or dzongs, that have stood for centuries and are still in use today. The architecture is unlike anything else found in the Himalaya – houses are painted with magic symbols to keep out evil spirits, national dress is commonly worn and the “Dragon” sect of Buddhism thrives. Bhutan is also renowned for producing the highest quality fabrics in the Himalaya.

We explore all aspects of Bhutanese culture on this captivating tour.

A visit to Bhutan is a truly unique experience. Bhutan was never colonized and the Bhutanese are very proud of their independence and their country – of their own unique Buddhist culture and social traditions and of their own distinctive building style, seen in the magnificent fortified dzongs, monasteries and attractive farmhouses.

You start your visit to Bhutan with time in the Paro Valley to visit the amazing Paro Dzong and then travel on to the capital Thimphu. Here, you also have time to see some of Thimphu’s many attractions before travelling on to Punakha with its fabulous dzong. Driving back to Paro you will walk up to iconic Taktsang Monastery, the ‘Tigers Nest’ of Bhutanese legend, which clings improbably to a cliff high above the valley.
