A Journey through Bhutan
21 days from £5490 per person
Route: Kolkata – Paro – Thimphu – Punakha – Gangtey – Bumthang – Mongar – Trashigang – Samdrup Jongkhar – Kolkata
This itinerary offers a once in a lifetime opportunity not only to spend time in one of the world’s least visited countries but to also explore parts of Bhutan that continue to remain virtually closed to the outside world. A tiny land–locked state in the high Himalayas, the one airport in the far west of the country, and one main west–east road, means that for the time–conscious visitor the central valleys remain the limit of exploration. This tour aims to offer the intrepid traveller a chance to travel through the whole of Bhutan to rarely visited parts of the country and exiting by land into India at the eastern border town of Samdrup Jongkhar.
ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS
Thimphu, Bhutan’s capital, is spread along a river valley. The town lies at an altitude of 2650 metres, the third highest capital in the world. Museums, temples and Dzongs enhance this delightful place.
Bumthang in central Bhutan, consists of four mainly agricultural valleys. The small villages within this region all celebrate their own colourful festivals based at their cultural centres, the Dzongs.
With links to the Bhutanese Royal Family, remote and rural Lhuentse is dominated by its Dzong. Over 350 years old, this important religious centre is home to a body of over 100 monks.
