One of the most remarkable aspects of the country is in its overall degree of separation from the outer world. During this brief stay you will witness many of Bhutan’s defining characteristics and fascinating contrasts. It is both immensely refreshing and stimulating to find oneself in a situation so different from the familiar. The trip covers the highlights of western Bhutan: Paro, Thimphu and Punakha. Paro is one of the holiest and most fertile places in the country. The lower valley of Punakha possesses an immense historical significance. As you hike through the surrounding countryside, visiting temples and passing through traditional village settlements, it is clear that both maintain the overall ambiance and tranquility of earlier times. Thimphu is Bhutan’s capital city and the hub of modern influence. Here you can observe how the country is seeking to merge new practices within its rich traditions. Bhutan Western Explorer(All Season) Bhutan is renowned for the enduring strength and vitality of its traditional Himalayan Buddhist culture and the dominance and purity of its natural environment. This journey through the country’s west encapsulates both these elements. Touring the major historical centers and day hiking to other important sites are combined with stepping off the beaten track, into a world that not long ago existed throughout the country and for many still represents the norm. There is a particularly emphasis on traditional arts and crafts, observing the perpetuation of skills that have been carefully maintained through the generations. Your trip starts in the fertile tranquility of Paro valley, moving onward through the carefully modernizing capital of Thimphu, before crossing over to the Punakha valley. A clear day will reveal folds of hills rising towards distant snow-capped Himalayan peaks. Guru Rinpoche and the Zhabdrung, Bhutan’s most celebrated historical personalities, will become increasing familiar. Then begins a three-day trek following well-worn trails past quaint isolated hamlets to become swallowed up by the surrounding ecological riches. This transports you to another age, when man, humbled by nature, led a simpler, more devout and less complicated existence. Bhutan-Bumthangs Hidden Valleys(All Season) Legend has it that throughout the Buddhist Himalayas there exist valleys hidden from the outside world, where devotes can seek refuge in threatening times. Sheltered and protected, together these regions could become the last bastions of traditional Tibetan Buddhism. Shangri-La in James Hilton’s Lost Horizons is based on this very idea. There remain few places more suited than Bumthang, Bhutan’s spiritual heartland, to stand as symbols of such ideals. This very special trip provides a rare insight into the delicate and charming conditions that for many visitors appear close to being an earthly paradise. Bumthang combines immense natural beauty with the mystique of historically being that part of Bhutan that has played host to the greatest collection of eminent spiritual practitioners. You will spend two weeks up and down the four high valleys that together make up the region, visiting many of the holiest sites in the country. Hiking through the valleys, you will be able to observe how Bumthang’s legacy filters through into everyday life. The whole landscape is dotted with monasteries and temples: some are made magnificent by size, décor or impossibly precarious location; others appear as the delightfully understand homage of simple folks. Villagers continue to eke out a humble existence, quietly serenaded by perpetually fluttering prayer-flags. As you experience an intimate local Buddhist festival it is easy to become transported far away from more worldly preoccupations. Bhutan Festivals of Bhutan (Tied to Festival Dates as Specified) No single event captures the prevailing Bhutanese culture better than the Buddhist festival. The best known are the Tsechus, occasions honoring the significant accomplishments of Guru Rinpoche, the 8th Century figure widely revered across the Himalayas as the Second Buddha. Their focal point is a series of prayers and dances inspired by certain religious themes. Dancers in spectacular costumes perform tightly choreographed moves to a cacophony of drums, horns and cymbals. Constant chanting drifts in waves, a solemn base rising to vivid peaks. What makes such occasions particularly remarkable is the manner in which performance merges with the overall setting. The larger festivals take place in the shadows of imposing fortress-monasteries, attracting large crowds from the surrounding region. For Bhutanese, they represent both the opportunity to concentrate on their religion and as major social occasions. People appear in their finery, eating, drinking and making merry. The overall atmosphere is a rarified blend of devotion, conviviality and slight bawdiness. On show is the holistic, integrated and down-to-earth nature of unaffected popular Himalayan Budddhist culture. Your trip is organized to coincide with one of Bhutan’s great festivals – the Punakha Dromchoe and Serda; the Paro Tsechu; or the Wangdiphodrang Tsechu. Arranged around this centerpiece is a general tour that encompasses the highlights of the country’s western region: from the major centers of Paro, Thimphu and Punakha to the natural beauty of the Phobjikha valley. Bhutan – Inside the Dragon Kingdom. (ALL SEASON) An essential overview of the Himalayan Buddhist Kingdom. This tour imbues you with a subtle appreciation of the Bhutanese situation and way of life. Bhutan’s character is underpinned by a culture rooted in its traditional past. Monastic-fortress centers epitomize formal authority. Small, secluded, self-sufficient communities are spread thinly over the rugged landscape. Unity is established through an enduring intensity of faith. We journey through the cultural heartland of western and central Bhutan. From the modernizing center of Thimphu, through the birthplace of the Monarchy at Trongsa, to the erstwhile 17th Century capital at Punakha. From the sacred temples of Paro, into the spiritual sanctuary of Bumthang, and then on to the seat of a high reincarnate lama at Gangteng. You will experience broader social, cultural and ecological aspects of the landscape: taking invigorating hikes through distant village settlements and the rich untainted surrounding countryside; visiting some of the most venerable Bhutanese monasteries; and attending a community festival, a fascinating and unpretentious fusion of high culture and everyday community life. There is a particular focus on traditional arts and crafts: in such fields as thangka painting, woodcarving and weaving. Some examples are exquisites, others more functional. By closely observing the artisans continuing to use age-old techniques, it is possible to learn a tremendous amount about broader aspects of Bhutanese culture.
