The Highland or Laya Festival is held in October each year. The King always attends and it is an amazing journey that if Bhutan is on your agenda, October is a very good time to travel. His Majesty King Jigme Wangchuck was recently in Australia with the entire Royal family.

With the Royal family of Bhutan here in Australia at the moment, it was so exciting to see the Drukair flight land in Perth yesterday.
It would be amazing if some of my Perth colleagues could see the King, Queen Pema, and the future King. It would be even more wonderful to have at least one flight a week from Australia.

Did you know that Bhutan, as small as it is, is divided into 20 districts or dzongkhags, each headed by a district officer (dzongda) who must be elected. In addition, each district is also broken into smaller areas known as geog (village), led by a locally elected leader called a gup. There are 201 elected gups. So it is very well governed and each district is managed as it has been for many centuries. Each time you pass through one of the districts, you can usually find a gateway or sometimes something a little smaller like marker posts. When you join us in Bhutan, you will now know what each one signifies.

Sometimes you have to take a step back to truly appreciate what is right in front of you. You need to look at things from a different angle and Punakha Dzong is no different. This photo shows the true magnificence of the masterpiece of design, the chosen location and the remarkable ingenuity of those who built it back in 1637. The bridge was replaced to the current cantilevered design in 2008. I do believe that those who travel to Bhutan become richer in many ways from visiting this iconic dzong.

In Bhutan, jobs are not the domain of either men or women, everyone does what must be done, and always with a smile. As travellers we either intrigue them or better still, make their day by our encounter. That is the way with the Bhutanese people, they find joy in their existence no matter what task is required.
See Bhutan with us.

Yaks are often spotted in the mountainous areas all across Bhutan. We were fortunate on this trip to see newborns rollicking with other babies and even one mother struggling to give birth. Such an amazing site, you should join us to see it for yourself.

Not really a spoiler alert but an introduction to Bhutan. This is the beautiful statue in the gardens of Paro Airport right before you meet your guides. Such a nice way to begin your journey.
