If you've toured some of Southeast Asia and are looking for a country off the beaten path, then the Land of the Thunder Dragon is for you!  With 72 percent of the country under forest cover, Bhutan’s pristine ecology is home to rare and endangered flora and fauna.

This spiritual land is the last bastion of the Vajrayana school of Mahayana Buddhism which provides the essence of a unique identity for the 750,000 inhabitants.

Bhutan is a unique blend of the old and new. Here is a country that is slowly opening up to the modern world in a fine balance with its ancient traditions. Those fortunate enough to visit Bhutan describe it as a unique, deeply spiritual and mystical experience.

Our journey includes the towns of Paro, Thimpu, Wangdue, Jakar, Phobjikha Valley, and Phunakha.  We spend several days at the Tamshing Phala Choedpa Festival at Bumthang.  A spectacular end to the trip occurs back in the Paro Valley where we ascend to view the Takstang Monastery, also known as Tiger's Nest. This kingdom is an adventure like no other.
