Additional Information
Hidden away in a corner of the Himalaya, the secretive kingdom of Bhutan is
an unforgettable destination with ancient traditions, spectacular mountain
scenery and vibrant festivals. At these hundreds of people gather to see the
monks, dressed in brightly coloured robes, perform ritual dances. For several
days there are masked dances and prayer meetings, and a general carnival
atmosphere prevails. The spring departures visit Paro Festival, whilst the
autumn departures take in Thimpu, Dechenphu or Genekha Festivals. The
December departure visits the lesser-known Trongsa festival, which is smaller
and offers a more intimate experience.

on 28 March 2020 (Paro Festival), 19 September 2020 (Thimphu Festival) and 19
