Punakha Festival Cultural
Tour |
Your senses will awake upon
entering the impressive courtyard of the Punakha
Dzong; " Palace of Great Happiness ". The Dzong
lies between two rivers, the Pochu and Mochu,
male and female rivers. Here we can truly
appreciate the essence of Bhutanese people and a
preserved steadfast culture. Arrays of colorful
brocades whirl through the air as the dancers
spin and dance the "thunderbolt step". Masks of
glorious demonic demons and animals arouse your
senses as you watch the purification take place.
You will also visit Trongsa, Bumthang, Ura, and
the only national capitol without traffic
lights, Thimphu . If you have ever wanted to go
to Bhutan this is as a good a deal you will ever
find. Treat yourself to a deal.
February 9 - February 21, 2005 (13 Days)
Bhutan ranks as the top hot spot in the world
for bio-diversity. Bhutan is home to 600 species
of wild orchids, 50 different species of
Rhododendrons, the Blue Poppy is the national
flower, medicinal plants, alpine plants and
tropical trees. Over 60% of Bhutan is still
blanketed in virgin forests with pristine rivers
cascading alongside terraced rice fields.
Land-locked and surrounded by the high
Himalayans the essence of Bhutan is serenity and
beauty distilled by the ages. |
