Sylvia Shaw says:
The whole tour was a delight and would not hesitate to recommend Kumuka as an organisation. Everything exceeded expectations - Thank you
The whole tour was most enjoyable with excellent tour guide and driver
Hope to go again in a couple of years to see the spring flowers, etc.
Climbing up to the Tiger's Nest monastry - the individuality of the hotels selected and the amazing countryside and so much more

Introduction: Bhutan, the land of the peaceful thunder dragon, lies amidst the highest mountains on earth. Like Tibet, this remote and ancient mountain kingdom was closed to foreigners for many years, but has now opened its doors to a limited number of travellers each year. The secluded kingdom of Bhutan is a remarkable country, with a vibrant yet beautifully preserved orthodox culture, a land full of grandeur and peace and unparalleled views of the Himalayan peaks. Our journey starts in Paro, and takes us to the capital Thiumpu, the ancient capital Punakha, and on to Gangtey, Trongsa, Bumthang, Ura and Wangdue. We will visit and explore monasteries, ancient fortresses (dzongs), temples, and traditional Bhutanese houses, with time to wander through the fascinating markets. We also drive through picturesque landscapes of spectacular mountain ranges, lush green valleys and pine and cedar forests. We cross the Dochola Pass, which offers panoramic views of the Himalayas, and also the Black Mountains, which divide east and west Bhutan. Returning to Paro, we will visit the beautiful Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest), found high above the valley floor, clinging precariously to the rock cliff. A fascinating end to a journey which takes in the highlights of the mysterious kingdom of Bhutan, often referred to as the “living museum” of the world.

	Helen’s a travel expert. She’ll help you find exactly the right tour that suits your requirements. She says she always listens before making a recommendation and doesn’t just hear about people’s travel plans but everything else that’s going on in their lives as well. ‘It’s no bother’ she says. ‘I enjoy it. I like to chat’. Some employers would discourage such frivolity and unpaid for extra service. Not us. We think it’s great.
