The Simple Way to Travel to Bhutan.
Kuzu Zangpo La! Planning to travel to the Kingdom of Bhutan? Travelling to Bhutan can be a challenging, if not an impossible, task. The kingdom sits on “the roof of the world”, remote and “off the beaten path”. Just a few decades ago, travelling to Bhutan meant organizing an all-out expedition with long caravans of men and pack animals accompanying you. However, Bhutan has been opening her door, albeit slowly– motor roads reached Bhutan in the 1960s, national airline flew to other capital cities by 1980s and by 1999 computers in monastic fortresses in Bhutan were hooked on to World Wide Web.
So, with the marvels of modern communications, you can arrange your Bhutan travel right here online. Read on, whether you are an avid trekker or a cultural explorer, you will find complete Bhutan travel information - from Bhutan's unique visa procedure to booking a customized Bhutan trekking or Bhutan tour package. The Kingdom of Bhutan...one of the few places on earth well worth calling the "Last Shangri-La", remains in the folds of the Eastern Himalayas, far and away from the maddening world. Since the kingdom remained untouched by colonialism, the culture and traditions have remained intact to this day. Bhutanese people, a proud lot, are known for their hospitality and friendliness.
You can take a truly wilderness hike amidst the majestic Himalayan peaks and the unspoiled forests. Get up to the chirping sound of the birds, walk along the wildflower-strewn footpaths and watch the sunrise over the gleaming Himalayas.
Witness a traditional game of archery contested between rival villages. Vividly decorated wooden targets hundred meters apart, powerful bamboo bows and exquisitely crafted arrows. Archers breaking into spontaneous songs and dances as they hit the mark. Come soon and meet the gentle people whose culture and traditions are deeply rooted in the Buddhist principles. Listen to the Buddhist monks chanting ancient prayers in a monastery or observe a farming family go about their daily chores in a bucolic homestead.
