Winter season is perhaps the best opportune
time to visit Bhutan and experience a tranquil facade of the
country not usually seen by most visitors. Advent of winter
brings about peace and tranquility in the region as life in
Bhutan settles down quietly in preparation of the winter months.
One can truly appreciate the natural beauty at this time of the
season, with crystal clear view of the snow-capped mountains
against the backdrop of bright azure sky. The fields in the
valleys are abounding with the colors of poinsettias and green
banana plants. The rooftops of the villages are covered in red
with hot chilies drying in the winter sun, as the villagers pass
the time leisurely. It's a time of rest and nature's way of
rejuvenating ones body and the spirit with every breath of
fresh air. It is indeed a unique experience not to be missed.
This special program is a combination of cultural tour, bird
watching and trek lasting 9 Day in Bhutan. Tour begins from
Paro and continues through Thimphu and Punakha. Then a short
three Day trek which covers the lower valley regions with
elevation ranging from 4500 to 7350 feet. It is designed as a
moderate trek for anyone in good physical condition to
participate. A leisurely four - five hours daily hike passes
through villages with plenty of opportunity to enjoy the
scenery, and to experience the hospitality of the local people.
The trek ends at Wangiphodrang followed by a drive to Phobijikha
to witness a rare glimpse of the black-necked cranes which
migrate each winter to this beautiful valley. Spend the night at
a traditional farm guesthouse and early next morning venture to
a vantage point to see the roosting grounds of the cranes.
