Cultural Tour

The land blessed with invaluable spiritual and cultural legacy, Bhutan, the land of the Thunder Dragon today stands as one of happiest country in the world. The reason behind being the second is that the cultural and the traditional that is still richly intact and at the degree to which it permeates all strands of modern day secular life. Bhutan is only country in the world to retain the Vajrayana form of Mahayana Buddhism as its religion. The castle-like dzongs, with their gently tapering walls, classic line, large courtyard and beautiful galleries, are among the finest examples of Bhutanese architecture. Containing large monasteries inside and set in commanding position on the hilltops or at the confluence of rivers, dzongs are also the administrative centres of their districts. Every year festival is performed in those dzongs and people from the remote places gather once in a year. Mask dances are performed and on the last day Thongdrel (huge painting which covers building) is displayed to the public.

But, the most common architecture sight in Bhutan are the chortens or stupas which are small shrines built to house the scared relics.
