Closed to the outsiders for centuries, Bhutan has long been a mysterious land for foreigners. Our ‘Jumolhari Trek with Cultural Tour in Bhutan’ combines both trekking through rugged mountain terrains and a journey into the mystical Buddhist cultural towns of Paro, Thimphu and Punakha. While touring the towns we visit popular landmarks like Rinpung Dzong (fortress), Kichu Lhakhang and Chimi Lhakhang temple, Drugyal Dzong, memorial Chorten, folk heritage museum and even hike to the famous Taktsang (Tiger’s nest) monastery. We also cross the Dochula pass while enjoying constant company of the stunning Bhutanese landscape on our Jumolhari Trek with Cultural Tour in Bhutan.
