Bhutan Tour (Ex-Bagdogra)

Bhutan, nestled in the Eastern Himalayas, is often referred to as “The Last Shangri-la” and is a land where Vajrayana Buddhism shapes daily life. Known as the happiest country on Earth, Bhutan offers a rejuvenating escape from stress through its breathtaking landscapes, ancient monasteries, and distinctive architecture.

Best Travel Seasons: Spring (February–March) and autumn (September–November) offer the best climate and mountain views. May to July is ideal for flower lovers, while winter brings clear skies and chilly mornings.

Culture and People: Bhutanese are warm and hospitable, divided into three linguistic sub-groups: Sharchops, Ngalong, and Lhotshampa. The vibrant tsechu festivals, with mask dances, highlight Bhutan’s rich living culture.

Food: Bhutan’s cuisine includes red rice, buckwheat, pork, yak meat, cheese, and chilies (used as vegetables rather than spices).

Arts and Crafts: Known for intricate handicrafts in bronze and silver, Bhutan also has skillfully sculpted religious statues found in temples and homes.

Architecture: The iconic Dzongs with tapering walls, large courtyards, and galleries are fine examples of Bhutanese craftsmanship.
