In a land where the Buddhist tradition ensures a respect and reverence for nature, you will find soaring Himalayan peaks rising above deep ravines cloaked in untouched forest. Throughout the land you can visit fortress-like dzongs and monasteries, witness traditional dance festivals and meet the engaging people. Bhutan may not be 'Shangri La', but it's as close as it gets. This two-week cultural journey of Bhutan will take you from the capital Paro and its famous Taktsang 'Tiger's Nest' Monastery across high mountain passes to the Gangtey Valley. You will also travel and walk through the picturesque Haa Valley and the Bumthang and Punakaha regions.

Adventure Coordinators Insider Tip:
The best time to travel to Bhutan is October through April. From October through December expect pleasant weather with clear skies. Winter is a quiet time offering dry crisp weather and the chance to see the rare black-necked crane (November through February). Late spring sees the spectacular bloom of the rhododendron.
