Sky Mind Retreats
Sky Mind Retreats Sacred Bhutan: Walking and Meditation in the Land of the Thunder Dragon with Susie Harrington November 23 – December 6, 2019 Trip Itinerary We will begin our trip by gathering in Bangkok. From there we fly to Paro, and our adventure in Bhutan begins. We will integrate our dharma practice into our travel by practicing sitting and/or walking meditation on most days, and by practicing in action with the people and situations we encounter. Keep in mind that we are entering a more relaxed and spontaneous culture, and some elements of this itinerary may change. Part of our practice will be in allowing things to unfold as they do, rather than as they are planned! TRAVEL DAY- Friday, November 22 Travel day. Most flights from the US to Bangkok fly east, crossing the date line and arriving on the following day. You may want to travel a day or two earlier, so that you have time to recover from jet lag in Bangkok. Whatever day you travel, there will be hotel transport available from the airport. DAY ONE- Saturday, November 23 We’ll gather at a small hotel in Bangkok, meeting at approximately 4pm. After some time getting to know each other ,then we’ll have dinner . Thai food, of course! DAY TWO- Sunday, November 24 A morning flight from Bangkok takes us along the Himalayas to Paro, a small town at 7,000’ that hosts Bhutan’s primary airstrip and is where our guides will meet us. Paro is located in a beautiful valley, lined with apple orchards and green terraced fields.

Bhutan Und Indien Himalaya 15 Tage Erlebnis-Reise
BHUTAN UND INDIEN HIMALAYA 15 TAGE ERLEBNIS-REISE Erlebnisberater/in Ulrike Hohwieler +49 30 347996-149 [email protected] MAGIC MOMENTS Black Necked Crane, Paro Tshechu, Timphu Tshechu, Punakha Tshechu und so weiter. Irgendein Heiliges Fest ist immer. Fantastisch: ein Schwalbennest, in das ein Tigerweibchen flog. Bitte nur im Uhrzeigersinn und fleißig die Gebetsmühle drehen. Wohin Sie auch gehen, die Himalaya-Gipfel sind schon da. Chorten allerorten und jedes Mal geht ein Wunsch in Erfüllung. Vielleicht. Zur Nachahmung empfohlen: staatlich verordnetes Bruttonationalglück. Berge gut und schön, aber diese Täler: märchenhaft. Wie die List des Penlop zum schönsten Dzong des Landes wurde. Im Fall eines Falles heilt ein Butterlämpchen alles. REISEVERLAUF Zugegeben, die Straßen in Bhutan muss man suchen. Aber was man neben unzähligen heiligen Chorten und gutem Karma findet, trägt den Namen Bruttosozialglück. Dorfgrenzen verlieren sich im Winterquartier der Schwarzhalskraniche, Wälder voller Rhododendron und Magnolienhaine verströmen Duft und Ruhe, und die allgegenwärtigen Girlanden bunter Gebetsfähnchen zeigen, wer die Fäden Ihres Lebens in der Hand hält. Helfen Sie ihm ein bisschen. 3 x täglich die Gebetsmühlen drehen, dann klappt das. In einem Rutsch von Frankfurt nach Delhi 1. Was Ihnen für den Moment wenig nützt, denn es ist zappenduster, wenn Sie landen. Dafür ist Ihr Hotel mit einem willkommenen Komfort gesegnet und was die indische Kultur-Metropole betrifft: Wir kommen darauf zurück. Ganz Bhutan, das Land des Donnerdrachens, hat gerade mal so viele Einwohner wie Stuttgart. Das werden gemütliche Tage, wären da nicht die allgegenwärtige Kulisse des Himalaya, die unwegsamen Wälder, durch die Schneeleoparden und Tiger streifen, und das vom tiefen Glauben an den tantrischen Buddhismus geprägte Leben.

THE FLOWERS & MONASTERIES Western & Central Bhutan
THE FLOWERS & MONASTERIES of Western & Central Bhutan SMALL GROUP DEPARTURE 10 NIGHT FULLBOARD PACKAGE (3 nights Uma Paro & 7 nights Tourist Class hotels) June 2 nd to 12 th 2009 One of the ancient names given to Bhutan was 'Southern Valleys of Medicinal Herbs' and thanks to the enlightened leadership of Bhutan’s kings and the strong conservation ethic of the Bhutanese people an estimated 770 species of birds and more than 50 species of rhododendron alone, besides a large variety of medicinal plants and orchids, are found in the country. Soon after Losar, the Bhutanese New Year, the glories of the Kingdom's flora slowly begin to unfold, the landscape sheds its winter coat taking on every shade of green, up at the Dochula Pass two varieties of Primula Denticulata emerge through the frost covered ground, the Chele La is carpeted in Edelweiss and in early June rhododendrons are in full bloom. Encompassing seven valleys, of differing altitudes, and three high passes at this time of the year makes for the perfect experience for culture and nature lovers alike. Traveling through Bhutan’s ethereal landscape on the way to the wild centre, we pass countless golden roofed monasteries and prayer flag covered hilltops, navigate endless emerald valleys and ancient forests with snow-capped Himalayan peaks in the background throughout. This ten-night package promises an easy yet comprehensive experience of the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, with accommodation split between the luxury resort of Uma Paro, and carefully-sourced, traditional hotels in the less developed regions. The adventure starts with an exploration of the bustling markets and colorful museums of the capital Thimpu, before heading over the spectacular Dochu La (pass) and following the Mo Chhu (Mother River) to Punakha and the Divine Madman’s temple Chimmi Lhakhang.
