It preserves and teaches Bhutan’s thirteen traditional arts—ranging from painting, woodcarving, embroidery, and sculpture to metalwork and calligraphy—with intensive four to six-year courses . Students learn skills integral to Bhutan’s spiritual and cultural identity, such as thangka painting and statue-making, often contributing to temple and dzong artwork .

Booked: Bhutan Expedition - Explore The Land of Thunder Dragon

This was my first international trip and Bhutan turned out to be the perfect destination. The itinerary was well-balanced with nature and culture. There were some concerns about permits on day one, but the on-ground support team stepped in and sorted it efficiently. Really appreciate how Viacation took care of every little detail.
