Cultural heart of Bhutan tour gives visitors a deep insight into a unique Himalayan culture, one that is finding a precarious balance between the ancient world and the global village. The Bhutanese are a friendly, warm and confident people whose rural roots are slowly giving way to rapid urbanization. You can observe this transition as you drive or trek through villages, and spend time exploring the towns. Bhutan’s traditional culture in the way of the cuisine, traditional dress and textiles, and the arts and crafts are still very much a way of daily life.

Bhutan’s architecture is the best remaining example of an ancient living architecture – from the mighty ancient fortresses to the humble farm house – the stunning and strategic locations of the grand fortresses housing both monks and civil administrations.
