Taste Of Bhutan Cultural Tour

Bhutan is known all over the world for its distinct culture and tradition. And Bhutanese gloats about their unique culture that still remain intact at the jaw of Cultural Revolution worldwide. Ghos and Kiras that Bhutanese wear, Ema Datshi and Suja that Bhutanese eat and drink, and multi-coloured short houses in which Bhutanese live in, everything is so different and unique.
