Just a short scenic flight from Paro is Bhutan’s cultural and spiritual heartland, Bumthang. Passing over ancient magnolia and alpine forests and four mountain passes, a scene reminiscent of the Swiss Alps announces that you have arrived in central Bhutan.
Escape - the travel section for national newspaper and online publications, including The Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun and The Courier-Mail - recently published their special Best for 2016 edition and Seven Skies is extremely proud to have our Bhutan experience featured in the Top 20.
One of the world’s most enigmatic kingdoms, Bhutan is home to colourful culture and tradition and some of the most popular attractions in the kingdom are its many religious festivals, called Tsechus. On your Seven Skies Bhutan experience, find your spot in the dzong’s courtyard to appreciate an authentic and truly engaging experience of a lifetime. Enjoy a picnic lunch among groups of Bhutanese families who join with neighbours, friends and family at their major social event of the year.
Crossing the chain of mountains that separates Bhutan’s Paro and Thimphu Valleys is the Druk Path, an ancient trading route that has been used by Bhutanese for generations, and which offers one of Bhutan’s finest short treks. Soak up breathtaking views of the towering rugged peaks of Mount Johmalhari and Jichu Drake as you pass by ancient monasteries, ruined forts, gin-clear alpine lakes and lush forests of oak, pine, rhododendron and spruce.
