BHUTAN

BEAUTIFUL BHUTAN

Picture
The land of Gross National Happiness, the land that does not have a single plastic bag and only one traffic light, the land where time stands still and where traditions and values are honored.  Bhutan must be seen to be believed ...
Picture
Safely nestled away in the mighty Himalayas, the beautiful kingdom of Bhutan remains a pearl to be discovered by travelers interested in living a life in tune with nature, culture, religion, history and a sustainable future.  Bhutan firmly refuses to give up its values and the concept of living in harmony with our surroundings.  Gross National Happiness is just one of many manifestations of a unique people, culture, world view.  Experience it for yourself, your life will never be the same again !

Highlights of a tour of this fascinating country include :
  • visiting the famous and stunning architectural gems of Thimphu, Paro and other cities and towns - wooden structures all around !
  • understanding the historical and cultural achievements of this nation;
  • exploring the concept of Gross National Happiness and how it guides daily life in Bhutan;
  • admiring and understanding the complete lack of unsustainable resources, litter and waste;
  • hearing about Bhutan's tourism and environmental policies - conservation before tourist dollars !
  • participating in some of the unique daily activities of the Bhutanese people (archery, long-distance darts etc.);
  • hiking in some of the world's most untouched natural environments and soaking up the pure oxygen;
  • learning about Bhutan's crafts, art, music and dance through hands-on activities and performances;
  • meeting and jamming with one of Bhutan's most popular bands, Misty Terrace;
  • spending time at the Draktsho Vocational Training Centre for children with special needs;
  • participate in a traditional dinner and a cultural show at a farm house; 
  • gazing in awe at the majestic Himalayas - both from the plane and from the ground;
  • experiencing the completely organic nature of Bhutanese cuisine;
  • visiting the Tiger's Nest monastery perched on the edge of a cliff - one of the world's most iconic hikes;
  • planting trees to support Bhutan's effort to reforest the country faster than it is deforested;
  • assessing what we know, what we think we know and why we think we know it (or don't know it).

We have proudly taken several schools to Bhutan and they have had a wonderful time there.  Make sure you consider this amazing destination for your next CAS week, Project week, Week Without Walls or No Boundaries week. 

All nationalities can visit Bhutan.

Travel to Bhutan is only possible through package tours.  Our tours are all-inclusive : we offer transport into and out of Bhutan, transport on the ground, visa application and processing, accommodation in Bhutan, three daily meals, entrances and excursions as outlined in the itinerary etc.

We work very closely with the world's number one travel agency for tours in and through Bhutan.  This agency is run by IB graduates who perfectly understand the needs and interests of international schools.
