Bhutan,
best known to the world as the last Shangri - la has a rare
combination of harmony and accord amidst a landscape of
incredible beauty. Protected by mighty Himalayas from the
rest of the world and enriched by the essence of Drukpa
Kagyu School of Buddhism, Bhutan has managed to remain shrouded
deeply in a jealously guarded isolation. A basic understanding
of Bhutan's Buddhism is essential to understanding the Bhutanese.
Her rich Himalayan flora and fauna, dazzling white peaks
and lush valleys provide Bhutan stunning beauty and aesthetic
grandeur. Bhutan has gently opened its doors to the visitors
who respect the delicate sensitivities of this pristine
land and shares the sacred values of its people. Bhutanese
architectures in Dzongs, buildings and houses are very striking
Bhutan is not an ordinary place and has many surprises;
a visit to the country is a splendid adventure.
Bhutan is only the country has no traffic lights. Here is
the busiest intersection in Thimpu of Bhutan and it only
has one policeman directing the flow of traffic.
Bhutan is a country of farmers, as 95% of the population
would be considered subsistence farmers. Depending on what
time of the fall you go, you will see various activities
in the fields.
Bhutan is cradled in the deep folds of the Himalayas. Very
little has been heard of Bhutan and to most people it is
a hidden kingdom shrouded in mystery. It is classed as one
of the most exotic destinations in the world today.
Come explore and unravel the untouched wonders of Bhutan
for yourself. Snow-capped mountains, emerald green landscapes,
fascinating wildlife, impressive Dzongs and gentle Buddhist
people all await you.

Bhutan as written in "Lonely planet" - a
guide book
Bhutan, nestling in the heart of the great Himalaya, has
for centuries remained aloof from the rest of the world.
Since its doors were cautiously opened in 1974, visitors
have been mesmerised: the environment is pristine, the scenery
and architecture awesome and the people hospitable and charming.
Bhutan - When to go
The ideal time for trekking in Bhutan is late-September to late-November
when skies are generally clear and the high mountain peaks
rise to a vivid blue sky. March-May is recognised as the
second-best time to visit Bhutan for touring and trekking.
Though there are more clouds and rain, the magnificent wildflowers
are in bloom and birdlife is abundant. You're likely to
get wet no matter what the season, but avoid the monsoon,
June-August, when an average of 0.5m (1.5ft) of rain buckets
down in Thimphu and up to 1m (3ft) saturates the eastern
hills.
Winter is a good time for touring in western Bhutan, bird
watching in the subtropical jungles in the south, and white
water rafting. The days are sunny and cool but it's quite
cold once the sun sets. From December to February the road
from Thimphu to Bumthang and the east may be closed because
of snow for several days at a time. It would be best not
to plan to visit these regions at this time.
In recent years overcrowding has become an issue in Bhutan during
the major tsechus (Buddhist festivals) at Thimphu and Paro,
which coincide with the best seasons. You stand a much better
chance of getting flights, accommodation and probably a
more intimate and rewarding festival experience if you schedule
your trip around one of the other cultural events.
This is straight out of Lonely planet, thanks to the Lonely
planet.
We at Earthbound Expeditions generally don't suggest short
itinerary to Bhutan as it cost quite a lot to go there and
you have to enjoy the tour taking enough time to understand.
But sometimes while people have short time also they want
to go there here is some itinerary, which we offer regularly.
The Bhutan tour can be combined with Darjeeling, Sikkim,
Tibet Lhasa or Taj Mahal, Jaipur in India. Also can be combined
with Buddhist circuit tour like Lumbini, Boudhagaya,
Kushinagar, Sarnath. Let us know if you want to have further informations.
