AN UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY THROUGH THE ENCHANTING HIMALAYAN KINGDOM OF BHUTAN.
Join Food I Am, your Culinary & Cultural Specialists, on an unforgettable journey through the enchanting Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.
Known as the Last Shangri-La, Bhutan has been preserved by the mighty Himalayas, allowing its rich culture and history to flourish. The Drukpa Kagyupa sect of Mahayana Buddhism has shaped this land's unique identity, safeguarded by its people through centuries of isolation.
Our thoughtfully designed itinerary reveals Bhutan's captivating landscapes, from towering sacred mountains to dense forests and the purest of air. Explore ancient wonders such as fortresses (known as Dzongs), temples, monasteries, and prayer-flag adorned high ridges. Bhutan's unspoiled beauty, diverse flora and fauna, and vibrant Buddhist culture await your discovery. Learn about the history of Thimphu, visit the valleys of Punakha and ascend to the legendary Tiger's Nest in Paro.
Delight in traditional Bhutanese cuisine, reflecting the simplicity of Himalayan life, and savour unforgettable flavours with just the right spice. Interact with locals over suja (Bhutanese butter tea) in a farmhouse, master the art of authentic Bhutanese cooking and sample offerings from artisanal breweries. Visit bustling farmers' markets and taste traditional cheese.
Bhutan, with its unique focus on Gross National Happiness over GDP, offers a truly exceptional cultural experience.
Don't miss this opportunity to tick Bhutan off your bucket list with Food I Am.
