From an exhilarating flight to spectacular views of the architectural masterpieces of the Himalayan Kingdom, embodied in the scores of Dzongs (Fortresses) and monasteries, including flora and fauna that will enthrall you, a journey to some of Bhutan’s most beautiful places.

In Bhutan, every district,community and village is unique, with festivals that are little known, even to the urban Bhutanese. It’s a great chance for those keen on indigenous communities, anthropological studies and, who’d rather venture off the beaten track.

Bhutanese culture is one of the distinctive cultures in the world. As a tiny country with a very small population the need to preserve culture and tradition is amplified. This unique culture is a means of protecting the sovereignty of the nation.

The national symbols are established variously by law and tradition. While most laws codifying the national symbols of Bhutan such as the flag, emblem,are modern, the tradition behind many of them is much older than the kingdom itself,deriving from Buddhist mythology.
