Nepal Trekking:

Bhutan Land Of Dragons Tour

This mystical kingdom, tucked into the Himalayas between India and China, offers visitors a glimpse of an isolated culture untouched by the passage of time. Women still create intricate weavings by hand. Paintings created centuries ago still grace ancient buildings. The land of the Thunder Dragon proceeds cautiously into the 21st Century, committed to preserving its pristine forests, rare wildlife, unique architectural wonders, traditional Bhutanese crafts, and deep Buddhist roots. Tantric Buddhism is the state religion and permeates every aspect of society. The visitor sees tattered prayer flags flying on the highest mountain passes or fluttering on fragile strings over roaring glacial streams. A young man on main street may set a row of prayer wheels spinning as he passes. An old woman spins her own tiny prayer wheel as she sits on the stoop with friends. Majestic fortresses (dzongs) and monasteries grace the hillsides.
