Why Are Traditional Dress and Folk Art So Prominent in Bhutanese Life? How does it enhance cultural experience?
The gho and kira, the traditional Bhutanese attire, go far beyond a mere cultural expression; they symbolize the national tradition, pride, and social harmony. Gho and Kira are considered the regalia of Bhutan and are gloriously worn in schools, government offices, and official events. While going through your tour and watching locals in their fine gewogs living their daily lives, your experiences and memories grow richer.
The folk art, such as weaving, wood carving, and painting, takes you back centuries, connecting you to Bhutan’s living culture and preserving its heritage at once. All of these, initiated by the government itself, embody the country’s commitment to passing on to future generations and conserving it; you will not be able to appreciate the hearty efforts put into it.
Which are the iconic sites you must visit during the Bhutan tour?
While there are several historical and cultural sites in Bhutan, all offering you a deep insight into the rich culture and history of Bhutan, our 10-day Bhutan Paramount Tour includes visiting Paro and its Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest), Thimphu (the capital city of Bhutan), and landmarks like Tashichho Dzong, Buddha Dordenma, and the National Folk Heritage Museum.
In the capital city of Bhutan alone, you can visit Jungshi Handmade Paper Factory, Simtokha Dzong, Buddha Point, and Zorig Chusum, which is also referred to as the thirteen traditional arts of Bhutan. Here you can try your hand at ancient crafts and also take some as souvenirs at the Junshi Handmade Paper Factory. Unwind in Simtokha Dzong, which is said to be the first dzong built by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel in 1629.
From Buddha Point, the scenery expands high up in the hills overlooking Thimphu; dawn light glints off the Buddha Dordenma's golden face as he gazes into the rising sun. Depicting Buddha at the moment of his enlightenment, sitting in bhumisparsha mudra with five fingers extended to touch the earth, the 51-meter (169-foot) tall statue is visible from across Bhutan's capital city, all providing a deep dive into Bhutanese culture.
Can you see mountains on this Bhutan Paramount Tour of 10 days?
And so, the Bhutan trip begins with an exciting flight, and the mountain scenery greets you glamorously. Gangkar Puensum, Masang Gang, Jomolhari, Kang Bum, and Teri Kang are some of the major mountain peaks seen from different high-altitude viewpoints, valleys, and villages, among them Dochula Pass, Punakha Valley, and Phojikha Valley.
As the tour progresses through the diverse mountainous landscapes featuring verdant valleys, dense forests, lush hills, and traditional mountain villages all in serenity, the views of snow-capped peaks add much to the adventure, resulting in a journey that can be called a life-changing experience. The natural and cultural beauty of Bhutan, followed by their efforts to preserve it, is humbling.
On your lucky day, the chances of seeing a rare black-necked crane are high, and with the gushing sounds of rivers amidst the rice-terraced farms and high hills, there are hardly any dull moments. In contrast to the rugged and challenging sections in Dochula Pass, green valleys and typical Bhutanese villages offer you a peaceful experience.
Where does the spiritual experience enhance the Bhutan trip?

These are not only cultural and traditional but also spiritual, located in isolation from human settlements.
