SCHOOL TOURS TO BHUTAN - A WORLD FIRST !
Are you ready to break new ground in terms of educational travel opportunities for your students ? Be one of the first schools in the world to take a trip to Bhutan ! We now offer service trips, action trips, cultural trips, and trips that combine all of these features. |
On our tours, your students will get to experience various aspects of life in Bhutan.
Highlights of a school tour include :
- hiking and biking on some of the most unspoilt mountain trails in the world, right through the villages, across the fields, along the streams and over the farmlands. Most hikes end at a stunning monastery high up on the Himalayan cliffs;
- visits to schools where we will learn about the daily life in Bhutan, the educational system, the importance of family and religion, and the younger generation's hopes for the future. We may also have sports, art and cultural exchanges;
- service activities in schools for the disabled, spending time with youngsters who hardly ever see foreigners, yet whose smiles are genuine and impactful;
- practical sessions during which we learn about the authentic Bhutanese concept of Gross National Happiness - a way of life that is unique in the world and that keeps this country moving forward along a well-defined path of development and progress;
- an introduction to the various arts and crafts produced in Bhutan - watch the experts at work, and where possible, try to create your own small artifact in local tradition;
- meet famous pop groups, bloggers, fashion designers and local speakers;
- visits to attractions of religious, cultural, historical and political interest, as illustrated in our regular annual tour (click here for details);
- a flexible program that caters for the specific interests and goals of the visiting school.
