Castles in the Air
Castles in the Air is our best selling cultural tour.
“ Castles in the Air, Experiences and Journeys in Unknown Bhutan, by John Claude White, C.I.E., Late Political Officer of Sikkim, Bhutan and of such part of Tibet as fell within the sphere of British influence ” is the name of an article that appeared in The National Geographic Magazine, in 1914.
John Claude White wrote “on nearing the fort, a bevy of girls met us below the almost perpendicular approach and sang us into the fort (Trongsa Dzong).”
In this tour we will try to trace his journey, from his point of entry in Paro to Bumthang, the then political centre of the first king of Bhutan.
We travel by Toyota bus, and take some fine day hikes to villages and temples.
