An abode in the heart of the vast Himalayan region, Bhutan is also known as “Land of the Thunder Dragon”. Hidden in the mighty Himalayas, little known to the outside world, is Bhutan, wedged between giant neighbors India and China. Bhutanese people have largely lived a life in total isolation from the world. They have succeeded in maintaining and preserving their cultural and spiritual heritage. Bhutan reflects the age-old religion, culture, arts, and architecture in its golden peaks in the background of deep green valleys and hills.
Bhutan gives you a special feeling of calm and serenity just seconds after you set foot in the kingdom. Bhutanese people are religious and mostly follow Buddhism. You can feel the spirituality in the air due to the spinning of prayer wheels and the murmur of mantras. The glow of butter lamps in the houses is still an important feature of the everyday life of Bhutanese people. You can find monasteries, temples, fortresses (dzongs), dramatic landscapes, and religious monuments during most of your journey. These monuments and monasteries reflect the importance of Buddhism.
Not only is Bhutan rich in culture, but it is also very rich in flora and fauna. Nearly three-quarters of Bhutan’s area is covered by jungles. Hiking as well as taking short treks through the jungles is a fun activity to do while you are in Bhutan. Not only that, but sightseeing tours in Bhutan are also exciting because you will get to see the amazing architecture and the lively city of Bhutan. Paro Taktsang monastery, also known as Tiger’s Nest, which clings to cliffs above the Paro Valley, is an important thing to see in Bhutan. There are snow-capped peaks for trekking in Bhutan. Jomolhari is a very popular trekking destination in Bhutan.
The valleys, hills, snow- capped peaks, and unbelievably beautiful rural landscapes imprint themselves upon the mind forever. Mountmandu heartily welcomes you to join one of our tours to explore the country.
Here, people also speak Nepali; much of the culture is similar. Even the surnames are the same. TK
