What Is Special About Our Culture Tour Packages?

We believe that cultural tours need to be slow-paced and engaging. Some of the most prominent aspects that make our cultural trip packages special are:

• Visits to monasteries, dzongs, and historical sites: Bhutan’s culture and traditions can be experienced best in sacred monasteries, such as Tiger’s Nest Monastery and Gangety Monastery. In addition, dzongs, such as Punakha Dzong and Paro Rinpung Dzong host important festivals and preserve rich Bhutanese heritage. Thus, our packages include access to such sites to provide deeper cultural immersion.
• Participation in local festivals: Our specialised cultural tour packages offer the opportunity for tourists to participate in popular local festivals, such as Thimphu Tsechu, Paro Tsechu, and Jambay Lhakhang Drup.  Such major annual Buddhist festivals feature spiritual rituals and masked dances, which can take your cultural experience to the next level.
• Interactions with local artisans: We take you to workshops and markets where weavers, painters, and woodcarvers work. By interacting with such artisans, you can experience a rich cultural exchange and gain a deep understanding of Buddhist heritage.
• Traditional meals at homestays: We take you to dine in homestays where you can enjoy traditional Bhutanese meals, while listening to local folk stories and learning the ways to cook Bhutanese dishes.
• Receive blessings from monks and perform meditation: By visiting the sacred monasteries included in our package, you can receive blessings from Buddhist monks and also meditate in the peaceful environment.
