| Bhutan is good for tour and trekking all the year round except in the months of July and August when it is little wet for tour. Spring (months of March, April & May) and Autumn (months of September, October & November) are the best seasons for travel to Bhutan as there are couple of Festivals in different places in Bhutan in these months. Spring season is warmer with flowers blooming around, while Autumn although little colder in mornings and evenings, days are warmer with clear blue sky for great sceneries. |

Bhutan covers an area of 38,394 square kilometers with a population of 6,72,425. Bhutan is hidden deep in the folds of the great Himalaya mountains for years, Bhutan developed its own civilization where the people live in close harmony with nature, evolved a unique identity, derived largely from a rich religious and cultural heritage.
Today the world is seeing many exotic aspects of this Kingdom.
Bhutan is becoming increasingly known for its pure practice of Mahayana Buddhism in the Tantric form, its untouchable culture, its pristine ecology and wildlife and the unparalleled scenic beauty of its majestic peaks and lush valleys and its governing policy of Gross National Happiness (GNH). It is still, in many ways, a magical kingdom of the past. |

Bhutan has some of the rarest birds with over 400 bird species found only in Bhutan. We have teamed with India's best birders to provide a world class birder's dream come true.
The highlight of this trip is the Festival for the Endangered Black Necked Crane in Gangtey Gompa. By legend the cranes are believed to be the reincarnated souls of Lamas that come to pay homage at the monastery of Gangtey Gompa. Each year at the cranes return it is said that they circle the monastery three times before landing in the wetlands below. |

Bhutan's population is, in many ways, one large family. More than 90 percent of the people live on subsistence farming, scattered in sparsely populated villages across the rugged terrain of the Himalayas.
With rice as the staple diet in the lower regions and wheat, buckwheat and maize in the other valleys, the people farm narrow terraces cut into the steep hill slopes. Bhutanese communities settled in the valleys with limited communication in the past. It is for this reason that the sense of individuality and independence emerges as a strong characteristic of the people.
It is for the same reason that despite the small population, it has developed a number of languages and dialects. The Bhutanese are, by nature, physically strong and fiercely independent with an open and ready sense of humor. Hospitality is an in-built social value in Bhutan. |

Just as the kingdom's history is characterized by the religious landmarks, the influence of religion is highly visible in everyday life of the lay population. Bhutan is a spiritual nation. Hundreds of scared monasteries, stupas, religious institution, prayer flags and prayer wheels which dot the countryside provide a strong infrastructure and atmosphere for the teachings of their living faith.
Both Urban and rural Bhutan, religious ceremonies and rituals are performed regularly and with reverence. On auspicious days Bhutanese families make pilgrimages to monasteries to offer prayers and butter lamps. The horoscope of Bhutanese life is drawn from the scriptures. National and regional festivities, coinciding with the seasons are major events for the entire population the year round. The Buddhist world thus regards the Kingdom with special importance as the last bastion of the Mahayana Buddhism. Earlier this century an ethic Nepalese minority settled in the southern regions of the country brought Hinduism which is regarded in Bhutan as being closely related to Buddhism. |

Bhutanese language and literature, the areas and crafts, ceremonies and events, and basic social and cultural values draw their essence from religious teachings. The tradition of fine art is alive today, manifested for example in products like the legendary thankas (big banners). The exquisite traditional painting is also visible on monasteries and houses, skillfully enhancing the architecture.
Architecture is also a significant feature of the Bhutanese identity. The combination of engineering skill and aesthetic beauty is unparalleled in all structures, from the massive monastic fortresses to houses and bridges. Traditional shapes, colors and patterns on the walls, doors, windows, pave Bhutanese architecture in a class of its own. Music, dance and handicrafts both by the clergy and the lay population play an important role in national, village or domestic functions and festivals. |
