Not many people have actually heard about Bhutan; The Land of the Thunder Dragon, or even know where it is located. For many years this little country about the size of Switzerland has been off limits of foreigners. If you look at a map you will find Bhutan to be east of Nepal at the same latitude, with a tiny piece of India separating the two countries - and the northern edge touching the Himalayas. You must realize that Bhutan is not like any place you are likely to travel to. Perhaps we can say that it is a bit in the past but very conscious of the present.

The people are Tantric Buddhists who also have a Shamanistic background called Bon - and a fantastic history filled with legends and mythology. They are a grounded people and many of them speak English and are well educated.

The monasteries are magical and beautiful in ways that I cannot begin to describe and everyone who goes to this country is touched in the most astonishing ways. By the time folks leave the country, the experience has managed to open their hearts in a manner that that is totally unexpected. As part of our journey the Lamas will be preparing a special prayer ceremony for us. Cost: $4799.00 per person double occupancy.
