The land of Thunder Dragon Punakha- Bhutan

Bhutan with its unique cultural heritage, a place where only a lucky few get to explore its incredible trekking routes. Our journey gives us an insight into Bhutanese life by visiting attractive towns with their splendid dzongs (monasteries/forts) and easy trekking along a classic Himalayan route. The four day trek follows the ancient high level route between Paro and Thimpu. We trek through splendid rhododendron forests, crossing several passes including the Phume La. En route we pass yak herders settlements and camp beside clear blue mountain lakes with splendid views of the peaks which border Tibet including Gangar Punsum and Jichudrake. In Paro we visit to Takstang Monastery and in Thimpu we visit the impressive Tashichodzong. The spring and autumn departures visit the Paro or Thimpu festivals respectively
