Bhutan's location in the Himalayas, yet not far from the equator ensures the climate is pleasant year round, but spring is without a doubt one of the nicest times to visit. The rice terraces, these monumental works of low tech engineering now begin to turn green with the new crop. Wildflowers bloom in the meadows, and rhododendrons and other trees open their flowers in the forests, lending another element of color to the landscape. Drama is always a constant in the scenery of Bhutan, with green mountains, snow clad Himalayan peaks, ancient monasteries, and hamlets and villages looking like a scene from long ago. Champaca Journeys finds this time of year in Bhutan is exceptionally beautiful. On this 12-night journey we visit 5 different areas in Bhutan, offering you an intimate look at the country and plenty of opportunity to connect with its people. You will meet our many local friends as you travel across this lovely country. Prepare for a journey that both stimulates and relaxes as we explore this remarkable land. This journey will be co-lead by Champaca Journeys' founder John Leupold and Bhutan's trailblazing fashion and culture blogger, Karma Wangchuk of Bhutan Street Fashion.
