Bhutan is also popularly known as the land of 'Gross National Happiness'. The people are dominantly Buddhist and are of Tibetan origin with 'Dzongkha' being the official language. Most people still adorn the national costume 'Kira' ( gho for Men ). Archery is the national sport and competitions are plenty.
TREKS & CULTURAL TOURS
Bhutan's predominantly alpine landscape, pristine forests and rivers and jagged outer-edge Himalayan peaks make it ideal for moderate hikes and treks to the more strenuous and challenging ones. The off the beaten track trails are too many to encounter on one visit alone. The country has managed to retain its immaculate scenery and environment because of the way in which it regulates the flow of tourists into the country; though there are private travel and trekking agencies in Bhutan, they are regulated and payments are channeled through the government agencies – so you pay what everyone else pays, and of course, you are ensured a smooth and gratifying adventure during your holiday in the country.
Bhutan offers the choicest of holidays for adventure seekers like hikers and trekkers who can get a taste of spectacular scenery and rarely traversed trails that also give you a glimpse of its rich flora and fauna. One will also encounter typical Bhutanese village and farm life, rustic and traditional but organized. As one journeys through these trails, one will get an idea of the old trade and even smuggling routes. The country is also a birdwatchers delight; wild elephants still roam the southern plains of Bhutan and the rivers are infested with Himalayan trout.
Cultural Tours give you a colourful and vibrant insight into Bhutan's festivals, dance, culture and religion. Infact, your itinerary will focus on this time of the year.
