Bhutan is a kingdom where culture is not displayed in museums but lived in everyday life. Monks chant in
monasteries that have stood for centuries, dzongs guard river confluences as they have since the 1600s,
and a capital city chooses a traffic policeman over traffic lights. This 6-day journey follows the trails of
Bhutanese culture through three of the kingdom's most storied valleys, revealing a way of life that has
remained remarkably intact in a rapidly changing world.
Thimphu, situated at 2,400 metres, blends tradition and modernity with effortless grace. Punakha's warm
lowlands hold the country's most majestic dzong at the meeting point of two rivers. And Paro is home to one
of Asia's finest museums and the legendary Tiger's Nest Monastery, clinging to a cliff face as if suspended
between earth and sky. This is a compact yet deeply immersive introduction to the Land of the Thunder
Dragon.
