Bhutan is a small country located in the Eastern Himalayas that has managed to preserve its unique culture and traditional way of life due to its isolation from the rest of the world. Despite its size, this Buddhist kingdom has a lot to offer in terms of cultural richness and authenticity.
Located in the heart of the eastern Himalaya, surrounded by mountains and dense jungle, lies the most revered pilgrimage site in the Himalayas. The area is adjacent to Sikkim and West Bengal to the south and Tibet to the north. This pristine location only opened its doors to a few thousand tourists per year in 1974. As a completely Buddhist kingdom, the people are proud and content, and the scenery and architecture are breathtaking. C&K partners with respected locals in Bhutan to give guests an experience of the unique way of life that has been preserved from the influences of the 21st century. Ancient fortresses protect mountain passes, colorful prayer flags flutter over Buddhist shrines and monasteries, and the local communities wear their national costume with pride. Traffic lights are scarce, and both the people and palatial monk-filled dzongs are imbued with a deep reverence.
To experience the best of Bhutan, make sure to climb up to the Tiger’s Nest monastery and soak in the breathtaking views of Paro Valley. Take a sip of the famous yak butter tea and explore the local markets to purchase beautiful handcrafted fabrics and textiles. Don’t forget to appreciate the unique architecture of the magnificent dzongs and witness exciting archery contests. Trek in the mountains and indulge in a traditional hot stone bath to relax your muscles. Visit the monks’ communities and explore the rarely visited Tang Valley for off-the-beaten-track palaces, monasteries, and cottage industries. Bhutan is a nation of festivals, and you can plan your trip to coincide with some of the important ones like Winter Solstice, Losar, Paro Tshechu, and Thimphu Tshechu. Although it is likely to rain whenever you visit, autumn (late September to late November) boasts the best climate.
Bhutan is a landlocked country in South Asia that is known for its unique culture and breathtaking natural beauty. One of the most fascinating aspects of Bhutanese culture is its national sport – archery. Archery is deeply embedded in the Bhutanese way of life and is celebrated all over the kingdom. If you are planning a trip to Bhutan, you must experience archery for yourself. And what better way to do that than with a luxurious archery session attended by a master archer?
