Bhutan is one of the world's most unique and rewarding destinations. It is like no other place and a window into the way the whole Himalaya once was. We visit medieval monasteries and temples, some perched atop towering cliffs, great stupas and chortens - memorials to saints and great leaders as well as weavers, farmers, museums and the homes of local families. A highlight is the journey into the golden Phobjikha Valley in central Bhutan. This valley is famous as the winter resting place for the cranes who fly in every autumn from Tibet. And throughout this experience learn about the country's history and siritual traditions from our excellent local guide and in the series of lectures which will be presented along the way by Judy Tenzing.
