Kingdom Of Dargon Tour
We combine an exceptional trek with time to explore the rich cultural heritage of Bhutan. In the company of our expert local guides we follow trails that lead high above the Paro and Thimphu valleys to gain unrivalled views of the Himalayan peaks that define the borderlands of Bhutan and Tibet. There is also ample opportunity to delight in the pristine forests of conifer, oak and rhododendrons as well as encountering yak herders as they establish their summer encampments. In Paro we visit the famous museum and take the 2 hour walk to the impressive Taktsang Monastery nestled on the cliff edge high above the Paro Valley. In the capital Thimphu we wander the markets and appreciate the monasteries and forts that reflect the deep cultural heritage of this remarkable Buddhist kingdom.
