| | | | Greetings Friend,
There's been a flurry of interest in Bhutan, this unique Himalayan Kingdom, so we thought we'd give you some more details. (Of course, you'll also see Portugal and Himalaya Helicopter after you scroll down.)
Our newest expedition is to one of the most exotic countries in the world: The Kingdom of Bhutan. The image above is the Tiger’s Nest, the Taktsang Monastery in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan. It is a country as close to the Shangri-La of James Hilton’s 1933 classic “Lost Horizon” as you’ll find on earth today. |
| | | Hidden between Tibet and the crest of the Himalayas to the steamy jungles of India, Bhutan is known as the Land of the Thunder Dragon. Independent for centuries and never colonized, Bhutan is a magic place and entirely unique. From it's festivals, traditions, culture, religion, and more, there is no place like it on earth.
Experiencing Bhutan is a true adventure. Quite frankly, Bhutan is as fabulously exotic as our world gets. At the same time, no other country is as serenely peaceful as Bhutan, no people more contented and cheerful as the Bhutanese, no land more welcoming and hospitable.
Bhutan’s culture is a unique mix of the ancient Himalayan animism called Bön and Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. The Bhutanese are renowned for being among the happiest people on our planet. They love to laugh, sing, dance, and play – and you’ll be invited to join them. Bhutanese happiness is infectious. One very good reason we will have a happy time of our lives on our Bhutan adventure.
|
| | We’ll visit Bhutan’s castle temples called Dzongs and witness the lama monk ceremonies.
|
| | | The Dzongs hold spectacular costumed music and dance festivals called tsechu. We’ll attend the famous Black Crane Tsechu.
|
| | | We’ll dine and luxuriate well and then adventures during the days...
|
| | | | It's quite an experience to meet the country’s most unique people, the Brokpa, (below) They are semi-nomadic yak herders living very traditionally in hidden valleys reachable only by trekking or 4WD track, as we will. |
| | Also, if you register in July, there is a special savings of $500 per person on Bhutan, Portugal, and Himalaya Helicopter. Just enter: JULYSPECIAL24 to activate the savings.
