Treks
No one seems to know exactly the meaning
of the word Bhutan but it is believed that it is derived
from `Bhot’ which is the name given by Tibetans to their
own country and `Tan’ which is a corruption of the word
`stan’ meaning Land. The Bhutanese however prefer to call
their country `Druk-Yul’ which means `The Land of the
Dragon’. Bhutan is renowned for its undiluted cultures
and unspoiled natural wonders. Bhutan’s past is still
its present.
Bhutan is a little piece of heaven on
earth - a virtually untouched world where spirituality
is still the way of life, where time moves at a much slower
and peaceful rhythm, and nature is bestowed the respect
it deserves. Its pastoral valleys are dominated by 16th-century
monasteries presided over by red-robed lamas, and nomadic
yak herders roam the high mountain valleys.
You'll explore both aspects of this unspoiled
world as you visit Bhutan's extraordinary dzongs (fortress-like
citadels) and trek in a mountain realm of snowy peaks,
trout-filled lakes, and pretty fields of wildflowers.
On trek, you'll witness the best of Bhutan's Himalayan
grandeur, including the sacred mountain of Chomolhari
(24,000'), and enjoy the warm welcome of yak-herding families
of the highlands who meet the modern world on their own
terms.
