Wisdom Tours — Custom Bhutan Tour

Land of the Thunder Dragon

May 15 - 31, 2009

The tiny Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan has without doubt, one of the most pristine natural environments on the planet. It is landlocked and separated from Tibet by the massive Himalayan peaks to the north with the rest of the country surrounded by Sikkim and India.

Because of its great variety of plants and animals, it is considered to be one of world's hotspots for conservation and biological diversity. Bhutan is a devoutly Buddhist land. Similar to Tibet, monks are held in great respect and still honors a custom that one son from every family enters the monastic order.

The monasteries with their stunning architecture are filled with treasures of Buddhist sacred art. You will explore these living museums and will meet some of the most compassionate people in one of the most mesmerizing beautiful countries in the world.

Your tour will begin in Kolkata where you will explore Jain and Hindu temples before departing for Darjeeling - a popular hill station established by the British in the mid-19th century.

You will have a full day of exploring Darjeeling before departing on a spectacular mountain drive to Bhutan - the land of the Thunder Dragon.
