Immerse In Rich Buddhist Cultures
Cultural and Historical Tours in Bhutan
The Royal Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan respects all religions and is a deeply spiritual and religious country. Bhutan festival tours will provide ample opportunities to see Buddhist monasteries and saffron-robed monks practicing their daily rituals or to see religious figures depicted in the monasteries.
The vast and vibrant faith in Buddhism in this small country is well justified by the presence of hundreds of sacred monasteries, stupas, religious institutions, waving prayer flags, the humming sounds of monks meditating, and prayer wheels dotting the landscape and countryside. A religious and spiritual tour of Bhutan will enable you to experience the deep spirituality and profound understanding of Mahayana Buddhism.
The major highlights of this tour include visiting the Taktsang monastery, Punakha Dzong, Haa valley, Wangdue, Jambay Lhakhang, Kyichu Lhakhang and Jampa Lhakhang. Visiting the ‘land of the peaceful dragon’ at an appropriate time will let you witness and experience the charms of the centuries-old festivals observed with the same sense of dignity and decorum as it has been for centuries. Some of the major festivals celebrated with pomp and show are: Paro Teschu, Black-Necked Crane Festival, Thangbi Mani, Thimpu Tsechu, Jambay Lhakhang Drup, Punakha Drubchen and Haa Summer Festival.
