Peregrine Adventures

Highlights

• Bhutan lies in the heart of the vast Himalaya and is surrounded by rugged mountain ranges. Towering to the northwest, the stark and dramatic mountains of the Chomolhari Range form the frontier with Tibet.
• Very few visitors have entered this tiny Himalayan kingdom and even fewer have been privileged to trek into her high mountains. Chomolhari (7314m), the sacred mountain of Bhutan, is breathtakingly beautiful.
• Bhutan is not just about scenery and unbelievable mountains; it is also about friendly people and an enduring and living Buddhist faith with magnificent monasteries, rich religious traditions, and a turbulent past.
• The great fortresses or 'dzongs' found throughout the country are mute testimony to the wars, sieges and attempted invasions in times gone by.
• Bhutan is now a peaceful kingdom where the king is revered and the economy is measured in Gross National Happiness!
