Bhutan is an incredible country to visit; it is unique in so many ways and can surprise even those who have travelled extensively in the Subcontinent. Bhutan is a heavenly abode in the heart of the vast Himalaya. But it is little known to the outside world just being wedged between giant neighbours and secluded by some of the highest mountain ranges.
This West tot East tour takes you right across the country along the lateral highway and gives you glimpses of ethnic groups of Drukpas different in their dialects and customs. It offers you maximum coverage of the country.
This trek covers the National museum, Dungtse Lhakhang, Kyichu Lhakhang, the absolutely out-of-this-world Taktsang Monastery perched on a sheer cliff, most of the important Dzongs (forts), then there’s the Memorial Chorten built in memory of the third King of Bhutan. We cover Bumthang valley like no other. Bumthang is one of the most beautiful valleys in Bhutan.
This tour also a visit to Meber Tso or “Flaming Lake” and the lovely Ura valley with its old dzong and cobblestone paths giving it a unique medieval feel. This is a unique lovely tour covering all the important “must see, must visit” spots in Bhutan.
