This central Bhutan tour will take you deep
into the heart of the beautiful Bumthang valley,
considered the Switzerland of Bhutan. Our route
crosses three high mountains passes: Dochula
at 3100m, Pelela at 3300m and Yotongla, the
highest at 3400m.
Bumthang is considered to be the spiritual
home of the Bhutanese people. The entire Bumthang
valley is dotted with some of the oldest historical
monuments and Nyes (sacred places) in all of
Bhutan, some dating back to the 7th century
A.D., a period of which there is little modern
knowledge.
This tour also travels to Paro, Thimphu, Punakha,
Wangdue and Trongsa. Besides these destinations,
we also include highlights such as a visit to
the Gangtey valley to spot the black-necked
crane. This rare bird is an endangered species
which migrates in winter from the plateau of
Tibet and Siberia. Another visit features the
Kuenga Rabten Palace, a ruling home of Bhutan’s
second King, Jigme Wangchuk, for a decade. |
