Come and join us for the journey to Bhutan as we provide all the essential information as well as take you to explore all the major attraction of this magnificent country. Bhutan tour is one of the most exciting journeys which offer you to live nature spiritually. Day to Day Itinerary Day 1 Fly Paro and Drive to Thimphu (L/D) Fly onboard Druk Air to Paro, Bhutan. On a clear day the panoramic views of the Himalaya are sensational, including Everest, but particularly exciting is the approach through the Bhutanese foothills and the landing, including a few steep turns to land at the tiny airstrip of Paro. In Paro you will be received by your Bhutanese guide and transferred to the capital town of Thimphu (1 hr drive). Road from Paro to Thimphu: The distance of about 55kms from Paro town takes little less then 1 hr. with recently broadended road. Drive south following Pachu river to the river confluence at Chuzom, which is also the hub of road network going to Paro, Haa, Thimphu and Phuntsholing. From Chuzom, the road follows Wangchu River upstream as you pass through villages and suburbs to the capital, Thimphu. En-route, you can stop to view Tachogang temple and the nunnery at Sitsina. Thimphu: (at 2300m) is Bhutan\´s capital city and center of government, religion and commerce. About two hours drive east from Paro is this a unique city with unusual mixture of modern development alongside ancient traditions. Home to civil servants, expatriates and monk body, Thimphu maintains a strong national character in its architectural style. It was a wooded farming valley until 1961, when it became Bhutan\´s official national capital. The massive Tashicho Dzong, about 700 years old, was carefully revamped in the 1960s by the late King Jigme Dorji Wangchuk to house the royal and main government offices. Even today, it still only has a few streets and no traffic lights with estimated population of 70,000 people. Thimphu has many places and sights to visit, in addition to several day excursion possibilities. It has relatively more choice in terms of the accommodations. Tashichho Dzong: This fortress serves as the office of the King, ministers and various government organizations. It also is the headquarters for central monastic body of Bhutan. Bhutan\´s spiritual leader Je-Khenpo and the monks of both Thimphu and Punakha reside here during summer. It is also the venue for Thimphu Festival in the fall season. Weekend Market of Thimphu: starts around noon on Friday and ends on Sunday afternoon. It resembles the farmers market in the west. However since there are no big super markets, Thimphu\´s weekend market is the main source of fresh produce. It is an interesting place to visit, where village people jostle with well heeled Thimphu residents for best and cheapest vegetable and other food products. Zangto Pelri Lhakhang: Located near the Weekend Market area is one of the tallest temples and was built in 1990s by a local resident. Zangdopelri refers to the celestial abode of Guru Rinpoche. Overnight at Hotel Day 2 Thimphusightseeing(B/L/D) There are a good many things to see in the capital which has a very relaxed, laid-back feel about it. Thimphu is relatively small having a population of approximately 90,000 people and the streets are wide and tree-lined. You will almost certainly visit the Late King\´s Memorial Chorten, the National Library, Drubthob Nunnery, Folk Heritage Museum, Takin Preserve, the handmade paper factory, the school of arts and crafts where young students learn the traditional arts and crafts (Zo Rig Chusum – the thirteen crafts), Gold and the Silver Smiths workshop, Zangtopelri Lhakhang, and the Handicraft Emporium and the local handicraft centers to see the weavers at work and also varieties of textiles, thangkha paintings, masks, jewelry, etc. Memorial Chorten: This white and tall landmark of Thimphu was built in 1974 in the memory of third King, Jigme Dorji Wangchuk, who is popularly regarded as Father of Modern Bhutan. It is a four-story tall white building, containing statues and iconography of deities from complex tantric teachings and serves as an important place of worship for Thimphu residents, as well as from other parts of the country. Zilukha Nunnery: is housed in Drubthob Goemba (monastery). There are about 70 nuns who live and pray every day in the monastery. There are good views of Tashicho Dzong, Golf course and upper Thimphu. Takin Sanctuary: Takin (Budorcas taxicolor) has been chosen as the national animal of Bhutan is based both on its uniqueness and its association with country\´s history and mythology. It is said that Devine Madman, a popular saint is said to have created it with his magical power at a large congregation of devotees. It resembles a cow from the back, a goat in from the front, and it continues to befuddle taxonomists, who cannot quite relate to other animals. Overnight in Thimphu, Hotel Day 3 Thimphu – Punakha Excursion (B/L/D) Option 1: Rest day in Thimphu Option 2: In the morning we drive to Punakha ( 3 hrs. drive), the old winter capital. Leaving Thimphu the road climbs via a series of zigzags over the Dochu La Pass, 10,000ft/3,048m. On a clear day panoramic views can be had of the eastern Himalaya, including Bhutan\´s highest mountain, Gangkar Punsum, 24,770ft/7,550m. The road drops down through varied forest finally emerging into the highly-cultivated Punakha valley. Visit the courtyard of Punakha Dzong and drive to Wangdue to view Wangdi Phodrang Dzong. Evening drive back to Thimphu. Road from Thimphu to Punakha: The drive from Thimphu to Punakha or Wangdue (75kms) takes about 3 hours. The road climbs from Thimphu to Dochula pass (3,050m), and descends through ever changing forests into the semi-tropical valley of Punakha and Wangdue at about 1200m. Dochula pass (3050m) enroute, provides spectacular snow mountains views of eastern Himalayas, including Bhutan\´s highest mountain (Gangkar Punsum 7,550m), on a clear day. Overnight at Hotel Day 4 Thimphu – Paro (B/L/D) Drive from Thimphu to Paro takes an hour covering 54 kms. Visit National Museum, Kichu Lhakhang, ruinpung Dzong and Drukgyal Dzong. National Museum of Bhutan: Established in 1967, the museum is housed inside a circular Ta Dzong, an ancient watchtower. It has fascinating collection of arts, relics, religious thangkha paintings, households stuffs, arms, handicrafts, stuffed animals and Bhutan\´s famous Stamps among others (open 10-4pm - closed on Monday). Kichu Lhakhang: Tibetan King Songtsen Gompo in the 7th century miraculously built 108 temples, along with Jorkhang in Lhasa. Kyichu is considered to be one of them and is one of the oldest temples in Bhutan. Rinpung Dzong: was built and consecrated in 1645 by Shabdrung Nawang Namgyal on the site of five storey castle built in 16th century. Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries it served as a bastion against invasion from the north. It is regarded as one of finest Bhutanese architecture - with intricate wood work, large beams slotted into each other and held together without nails.

  • DISCOVERING the BEAUTY of BHUTAN: LAND of the THUNDER DRAGON April 14–25, 2020
    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.
