Journey from the Andaman Sea to the Himalayas by private jet, enjoying a leisurely brunch on board. Explore the many evocative and historic highlights of this tiny Buddhist kingdom, starting in the idyllic mountain valley of Paro, where the iconic Paro Dzong, and sacred 7th century temple of Kyichu Lkakhang remain highlights. As does the National Museum of Bhutan of Bhutan, which houses extensive collections of Bhutanese cultural and religious artifacts spanning centuries. Later, gather at Amankora Paro for a long-life ceremony and blessing, conducted by a tulku, a reincarnated lama.
Discover the steep and forested valley of Thimphu with your private car, driver and guide, dotted with ancient monasteries and temples. Suggested experiences include the Astrology School, home to around 100 Buddhist monks, the National Library of Thimphu, which contains more than 10,000 volumes of ancient Dzongkha and Tibetan texts, and the National Textile Museum, where you can delve into the art of weaving, a vital Bhutanese craft.
At Amankora Thimphu, enjoy a special lunch with the former UN Ambassador from Bhutan (pending his availability). To crown an unforgettable time in the Himalayan kingdom, embark on an early morning half-day hike to the cliffside Tiger’s Nest, one of Bhutan’s most revered monuments – and one of the world’s most breathtaking temples.
