Social Journeys : Bhutan Tour

Bhutan Tour - 8 Days .

Bhutan is a land of dramatic contrasts. Wedged between two giant neighbours, India and China, its terrain ranges from the tropical southern foothills near sea level to dizzying heights of over 7,300 metres (24,000 feet.) A visitor can travel through different ecological zones, from the tropical to the snow-capped peaks near the Tibetan plateau. It is one of the protected land and left blissfully untouched from the rest of the world for centuries. The Drukpa Kagyu school of Mahayana Buddhism provided the essence of a rich culture and a fascinating history. The Bhutanese people protected this sacred heritage and unique identity for centuries by choosing to remain shrouded deep in a jealously guarded isolation. For the sensitive visitor who will respect the delicate sensitivities of this pristine land and share the sacred values of its people, Bhutan has now gently opened its doors. A limited number of people are now allowed in every year for carefully organised cultural tours, trekking and climbing, or just absorbing its untouched beauty covered by more than 64 percent of the land area by forest. 8 Days Bhutan Tour .
