Upon reaching Thimphu you will witness the fast growing capital city of Bhutan spread from the valley towards the mountains. A welcome gate in its traditional bright paints (7 km before reaching the Captal city) will give you a feel that you are not only welcome in this country but once you reach here its no going back since you cannot stop yourself getting in to a such beautiful place. If you landed in a morning flight then after lunch at your hotel you can take a stroll through the downtown of Thimphu city. However, if you landed late afternoon, you will reach Thimphu by evening time. So refresh, rest & relax in your hotel room then therafter can go for dinner.

    American Horticultural Society Travel Study Program DISCOVERING THE BEAUTY OF BHUTAN: LAND OF THE THUNDER DRAGON April 14–25, 2020 WITH AHS HOST KATY MOSS WARNER AND TOUR LEADER SUSIE ORSO OF SPECIALTOURS Dear Friends of the American Horticultural Society, It’s with great pleasure that I invite you to join us for Discovering the Beauty of Bhutan: Land of the Thunder Dragon. This rare opportunity for exotic adventure will bring us to a land and culture that couldn’t be further from our own. Read on for a sneak peek of just a few tour highlights. In Bhutan’s capital city, Thimphu, we’ll see Buddha Point (Kuensel Phodrang) a gilded bronze statue of Buddha that stands 177 feet and is one of the world’s largest. We’ll also follow in the footsteps of royalty at the Tashichho Dzong, which houses the throne room and offices of Bhutan’s king. As we’ll see, the Royal Botanical Garden in Serbithang serves as a rescue center for rare and threatened native plants. The high mountain pass of Dochula will put us at 10,000 feet; with luck, we’ll get a view of the Himalayas. Our visit to Lampelri’s Royal Botanical Park and its Rhododendron Festival will also be memorable. Some 46 rhododendron species—including regional natives— will be blooming during our visit, and we’ll enjoy the traditional songs and dances that are part of the festival. We’ll soak in the land around us on a beautiful walk through the forest and flowering meadows in the Phobjikha Valley, home to rare, migrant black- necked cranes.

  • Dzongs in the Land of the Thunder Dragon
    JOURNAL OF ASIAN ARTS, CULTURE AND LITERATURE (JAACL) VOL 1, NO 1: MARCH 2020 Dzongs in the Land of the Thunder Dragon By Dr. Aparna Bagwe [email protected] Abstract The Kingdom of Bhutan is often referred to as the last Shangri la. For several centuries, this land-locked country - nestled in the lap of the snow-clad peaks and valleys of the eastern Himalayas - has been safeguarded by wise rulers who have maintained its isolated status, thus preserving its distinct Buddhist identity, culture and traditions. In 1974, Bhutan carefully opened its doors to selective numbers of tourists in a bid to promote its unique culture, offering outsiders glimpses into a very different way of life. Through the memoirs of my visit to Bhutan almost a decade back, I shall take the readers on a virtual walk to some of the ancient dzongs (fortress monasteries) of this Himalayan Kingdom. Keywords Dzongs, Bhutan, Paro, Punakha, Thimphu Introduction Buddhism was introduced into the region occupied by present day Bhutan around the 7th century AD, and the first Buddhist temples were constructed at Bumthang and Kyichu. The region, ruled over by several feudal lords constantly at war against each other, was unified in the early 17th century by the Tibetan lama and military leader Ngawang Namgyal, who went on to build a protective network of impregnable dzongs to defend the country against intermittent attacks from Tibet. In the 1880s, Ugyen Wangchuk came into power and in 1907, he was unanimously chosen as the hereditary king of the country. King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck from this distinguished lineage is the present reigning monarch.

  • Thimphu to Paro
    Guides & Suggested Itineraries Our first tip: always go to your guide for discussions big and small. Whether you’re a fast walker/climber, prefer going slow to have a feel of the land, wish to swap a place out for another – do share, so we’ve time to make arrangements. Do note that your final itinerary is still subject to changes, perhaps due to ad-hoc local events or weather conditions etc. Two: this itinerary is best used as a reference, rather than a fixed guide. Seen enough of monasteries and dzongs (fortresses)? Your guide could arrange a trek. Feeling like a change of pace? A hot stone bath could replace the archery session. Or you could be really lucky; like one of our guests who bumped into the King of Bhutan while descending from Taktsang Monastery. Having only opened her doors to the world in 1974, do note that while a trip to say, a museum may not carry the same standards as the Louvre, France – Bhutan’s people are one of the friendliest and jolliest you’ll meet. Three: Yours is an exclusive holiday, not to be combined with other groups at any point of stay. This explains the freedom to be flexible on this trip of a lifetime – time and weather permitting, and to the final professional discretion of your guide. First Two Days We know that the time you spend in Bhutan is important and with over 13,000 trips already clocked by our guides – your satisfaction remains top priority. On the off chance that a change of guide is requested, local contacts are available in the Travellers Portal (or visa approval email) – as part of our sincere desire to maintain the level of customer service that our visitors have come to rely upon.
