Bhutan Tour with Day Hikes is a 5 Nights / 6 Days adventure in the land of the forbidden Kingdom. Exploring the nooks and corners of this beautiful gem tucked in the lap of Himalaya will provide a unique perspective to modern traveling.
What makes Bhutan Tour with Day Hikes different?
Bhutan is a relatively small country tucked between India and Tibet in South Eastern Asia. The country is most popular in the world for its measurement of Gross National Happiness (GNP) as opposed to the GDP. Apart from that, more than 70% of its territory is covered in forest. On top of that, Bhutan is the only carbon negative country in the world. Additionally, the country has no traffic lights, and is sustained with hydro electricity. Yet, to appreciate all of these uniqueness and to experience, one has to travel.
Traveling to Bhutan – the Options !
Hiking in the foothills and valleys of Bhutan is different than the rest of the world. Although it’s mountainous terrain is similar to that of Nepal, its relatively low altitude provides for quite a different hiking experience. Say, for example, a 4-5 hour round trip to the Tiger’s Nest Monastery – is a surreal experience in itself. The green lush forest blooming with rhododendron and pine forests are quite an amazing feat for hikers.
Exploring the Mountains and the Monasteries in Bhutan
Our 6 Day Exploration of Bhutan will be spent quite quickly as we move from one hilly town to another – in search of ancient monasteries that decorate the hills. Each of these monasteries tell the tales of ancient Buddhism and spirituality, as they sing the art and architecture that flourished as early as the 16th century B.C. Apart from that, the unique lifestyle and culture of people dressed up in monk clothes, as well as the change in modern culture due to influence of tourism, all make exploring this beautiful mountainous country worthwhile.
