Overview
For explorers who would like to travel back in time where myth and legends inspired and guided people and spend some time leading a simpler life unburdened by the distractions of advanced technologies and demand of the modern busy schedules, Bhutan is an ideal destination. A self-imposed isolation for millennia and the lack of influence of the western culture led to the evolution of a unique culture and tradition deeply inspired by Buddhism. Thus Bhutan is a land of ancient culture reinforced by mythical tales of Buddhist Gods, ancient temples and stories about peasants pursuing happiness while practicing contentment in life. A week in Bhutan itinerary is the best way to get an introduction to the life and culture of Western Bhutan. Highlights of this tour will include 3 dzongs/ fortress namely Tashi chhoe dzong, commonly known as Thimphu dzong, Punakha Dzong, also known as Pungtang Dewa chhenbi Phodrang and Paro dzong( Rinpung Dzong), few Buddhist temples, 2 museums and Taktsang Goenpa famously known as the Tiger's Nest monastery .
