Destination: Bhutan
Experience the pristine natural
beauty of the Himalayas and the tranquility of
the traditional Buddhist way of life when you visit the
mountain kingdom of Bhutan, often called the Last Shangri-La.
Cocooned for years from foreign
influences, Bhutan has preserved its ecology,
culture and traditional way of life to an astonishing
degree. With its doors opened only recently to foreign
tourism, Bhutan is one of the most
unique tourist destinations in the world today.
Bhutan's unique philosophy of Gross
National Happiness (GNH) places greater importance
on sustainable socio-economic development, spiritual
growth and the preservation of cultural values.
Amber Tours has a long standing
association with the Kingdom of Bhutan. We have
worked closely with the Royal Family of Bhutan, to develop
and promote tourism in the country. Due to our special
relationship, we not only know the country better, and

and privileges that no one else.
A cultural tour of Bhutan offer you a chance to experience
up-close Buddhist religious traditions and
art and monuments. Enjoy the breathtaking art and architecture
of the magnificent Buddhist monasteries called dzongs,
partake in the beautiful Buddhist prayer rituals or browse
the rich array of intricate Buddhist handicrafts. The Buddhist
religious festivals known as Tsechus,
held at different times of the year, are a feast of sounds,
dances and colors.
For nature lovers, Bhutan is a
veritable paradise. With a forest cover of nearly
60%, Bhutan nurtures an abundance of exotic species of
flora and fauna that makes it one of the world's biodiversity
hotspots. Take a guided tour of one of Bhutan's national
parks with naturalists to glean a deeper appreciation
of nature's beauty and diversity.
