Bhutan is an extraordinary place, barely touched by the hands of time. Nestled in the heart of the great Himalayas, it remained in self-imposed isolation for centuries until its doors cautiously opened in 1974. The town of Paro lies in the center of the rich, fertile Paro Valley, with beautiful landscapes, scenic villages and historic buildings all within a few kilometers.
Tonight there is a slide presentation followed by cocktails and a Bhutanese dinner.
In the afternoon, both groups join and continue to the museum and a temple that dates back to the 8th century. If time permits, visit the Dzongdrakha temples on the cliffs. This evening meet with an elderly Bhutanese resident who served under the second king. He will talk about life in Bhutan and his experiences adjusting to the computer age. This morning drive to Punakha.
