BHUTAN MAY JOURNEY
While there is never a bad time to visit Bhutan, May is exceptionally beautiful. The fields are green with newly planted crop and the rhododendron forests ablaze in colors of red, pink, yellow and white. The days are pleasant, and almost certain to be sunny. This Bhutan journey explores what we consider the highlights of the Kingdom. Begin in Paro and journey to Thimphu, the capital where we get to know this small but fascinating city. Continue east to visit sub-tropical Punakha, one of our favorite places, with its beautiful ancient Dzong (fortified monastery) and temples in the surrounding hills. We'll take you on gentle hikes in these hills, where you can soak up the beauty of rural Bhutan. Next we travel to Trongsa, the beautiful old mountainside city with its dramatic setting and stunning ancient temples. From Trongsa we drive to the high altitude Phobjikha Valley, this broad glacial valley is unlike any other place in Bhutan and renown for its beauty. Everything you see and experience is remarkable and memorable, and you will also meet many of our friends, who will join us for a meal of for all day excursions, meeting these great people will increase your understanding of Bhutan.
