Bhutan Cultural tours

by Staff Writer

What are some of the exciting sights you can expect to see when you sign up for a cultural tour of Bhutan through Footloose Bhutan? You can venture to the city of Paro, where you can browse through the amazing National Museum of Bhutan. In addition to housing art and artifacts from traditional Bhutanese craftsmen, the museum also contains a piece of the moon brought back by American astronaut Neil Armstrong.

Also in Paro, you can see the Drukgyal Dzong, which was constructed in the mid-1700s by the Bhutanese fighter Zhabdrung Nawang Namgyal. Perhaps more impressively, you can see 7th century temples (108, all told, which were constructed by the legendary King Songtsen Goenpo). On another day excursion, cultural explorers can take in the sights of the Tiger’s Nest, also known as Taktshang Monastery, one of the most important pilgrim sites in the Himalayas. Visiting the Taktshang Monastery is a breathtaking experience, one that few Westerners ever are fortunate enough to partake in.

At over 9,000 feet above sea level, you can stop off at the Taktshang Cafeteria and gaze out across spectacular Himalayan scenery. Watch prayer flags blow in the wind, contemplate a gigantic prayer wheel, and lose yourself amidst views of fields and mountains that dwarf even the most scenic outposts in the west.
